For Some, the Most Powerful Benefits of Martial Arts Training at Warrior Concepts
Martial Arts training through the Warrior Concepts Life Mastery Programs at WCI offers life skills training, which makes it so much more than the kicking, punching, and self-defense lessons of most conventional karate clubs. In fact, most schools find it difficult, if not impossible, to balance and teach the two sides of self-protection and personal development under one roof.
I have been studying the martial arts since 1975, after joining a karate club in my Junior High School.
Yes, there was a time when administrators actually saw the benefits of training and allowed groups like this to form. Unlike the sterile public schools in many areas today that have attempted to strip all "risk" or "assertiveness-type" activities from their halls due to the overwhelming fear of a liability issue.
AAh...
...Welcome to America.
Since the beginning, I have been acutely aware of the life skills, self-improvement, and personal development benefits of the martial arts that far exceeded the physical skills of kicking, punching, and self-defense. As I progressed through the higher levels, I found that it was precisely these life skills that were my front-line of defense.
As I became a more confident, disciplined, and aware individual, I found that I was, more and more, surrounded by people who were seeking these qualities for themselves and less and less by those who were content with laziness, undisciplined and irresponsible behavior.

Leadership
Leadership is not just "being-in-charge." It's is driven by vision and the desire to motivate, inspire, and guide others. The ironic thing is that, from the perspective of the enlightened mind, the true leader rarely if ever chooses to lead. Instead, he or she finds that they have been "chosen" by their followers and are being followed by those who are drawn to their light and life.
"...the truest measure of a person's character is in the way they treat those least important to them."
The enlightened warrior knows that it's not in what you carry with you through this life and into the next but, what you leave behind and how others will remember you.
The lessons you teach with your words, actions, and life itself, will affect others long after you have gone from this reality.
