For 22 years, Mr. Engels (head instructor at Leadership Academy) has been training and coaching people, of all ages, in the process of learning and practicing the martial arts as a tool for learning and practicing the art of being a more complete, proactive, and empowered human being.
You see, this school stands for something far beyond the kick, the punch, and the throw.
We consider ourselves an integral part of the village that help parents instill valuable character traits, beliefs, and habits in their children, such as: self-discipline, the ability to stay calm under pressure, the appreciation of teachers, parents, and other mentors, and the value of proper diet, exercise, and education in a happy and fulfilling life.
For many adults and young-adults, we have been -and continue to be -a place to refuel, recharge, and remember the value of keeping one’s body fit, to keep the mind focused, and the spirit strong.
We teach a brand of self-defense that transcends our physical “art”
-and includes the self-defense skills of kindness, empathy, community, and compassion.
You are cordially invited to visit and/or be a part of this school;
that is, if you are looking for something fun and extraordinarily engaging, interesting, and life-enhancing.
We are masters of making it easy to get started. We are experts at making the learning fun and exciting. And we are committed to being role models of honesty, customer service, and good old fashioned value.

“One of the things that most endears me to your school is the way you teach life-skills along with your training. While I know you’re talking to my son in your classes, sometimes I think you’re talking directly to me! Every time I come to your school I leave feeling energized and motivated. Good work!”
- Stephanie Slater, Mother of Nathan
Adults come to our classes to get back –and stay –in shape; they come to take advantage of the stress release that martial arts training provides. They come to work on themselves, their body, mind, and focus.
“For me, classes are like a 60 minute vacation. I forget about work, I forgetabout what I have to do tomorrow. The training allows me to be in the moment. I think it’s the best thing I do for myself.”
- Paul Reyes, Student
