The mission of the Chamberlain Studios of Self Defense Leadership Program is to build confidence, character, and community as students work together towards their Junior Black Belts.
The leadership program provides the opportunity to instruct and assist in classes, embodying the values of our student creed as role models for younger students.
This not only reinforces what students have learned on the mat, it helps to develop the qualities necessary to be successful leaders in other areas of their lives.
