Published by Rev Publish (Rev Marketing 2U, Inc.), this isn’t a theory book. This is the actual system he uses in his school — the one parents keep raving about:
-
“My son is more focused.”
-
“Her confidence finally showed up.”
-
“This place is like family.”
So what’s in the book?
Shihan Marc breaks down the real stuff kids need but don’t always get in school — things like confidence, public speaking, values, project management (yes, kids can learn that!), and how to lead without being bossy. He shows how martial arts is the vehicle, but leadership is the destination. And he does it in that straight, kind, no-nonsense way he’s known for on the mat.
What I love about this one is that he even says it right in the intro: a lot of kids today have skills… but not leadership. This book is his answer to that. It’s the on-ramp to his Leadership Program — the same path that’s helped his students get into great schools, crush big goals, and stick with things when it gets hard.
And because people always ask:

If you’re a parent who wants more than “just karate,” or a school owner who wants to show families the why behind your life-skills training, grab it. This is Shihan Marc putting his lifetime of teaching into a format you can hand to a parent and say, “This is what we’re doing.”
