Special Team Of Role Models

Conquering Fears, Taking Charge

Our Special Team Of Role Models (STORM) is our Leadership Team. This is a hand-picked group of students who are being trained to be tomorrow's Leaders, using the discipline learned in our Martial Arts classes to expand upon their roles in taking the initiatve, building teams, and developing the confidence needed to stand up and speak their minds - often in front of large groups!

The STORM class meets once per week and each class is a different experience from the last. Students have found themselves on the Woodstock Square, shaking hands and demonstrating their board breaking prowess. They've been in front of video cameras, creating testimonial videos. They've been assigned articles to write. They are responsible for learning lesson plans and teaching techniques. They are involved in planning Demonstrations and Special Events.

Other schools offer leadership programs, but too often these classes merely teach "How to Teach Martial Arts" - and Leadership demands a lot more than merely being able to teach a front kick! Every one of our students is assigned a class to assist in, but that's merely the beginning of their training.

The best way to find out more about this program is to talk to our future leaders. They'll be glad to shake your hand, tell you their name, look you in the eye and answer any questions you may have. We create leaders, not followers and we're very serious about it!
