Mission Statement
To perfect the characters of men, women and children in our community by providing quality Martial Arts training and philosophy, emphasizing the core tenants of the Martial Arts which are Mental, Physical and Spiritual enlightenment.
Mental:
Encourage scholastic competence.
Physical:
Condition the mind and body through Karate.
Spiritual:
Acknowledge that all good things come from God.
We are what we represent
There are hundreds of families in our communities that need the help and support that a mentor or Martial Artist can offer. How then can we tailor our efforts to become a role model and possibly even a mentor to them?
1. We must first distinguish ourselves as a role model.
2. Our Martial Arts instructors will use their skills to help families motivate their
children and serve as a role model and mentor to them.
3. We will identify ourselves as role models to all of the students in our community.
4. Being a role model requires many things. A large part of the job is being known and
respected for who you are and how you got there.
5. A role model is a person who sets an example, a person other people may emulate. 6. Being a role model does not necessarily require one-on-one, extended contact.
7. Our Martial Arts Instructors will provide mentorship to the masses.
