Martial arts are not just about the forms you practice. The aim of practicing an art is to better yourself and give back to the communities of Fort Collins and all of those around you. At Kaizen, we strive to promote growth in all areas of our lives and continual personal improvement on our journey. As you read, we will highlight the three pillars of the Kaizen school of martial arts that give us our foundation.
Community
A large contributing factor to the development of our arts was the inclusion of many different backgrounds and origins. International Kenpo is one example, which draws on the concept of family and community, or “Ohana,” and is greatly influenced by Hawaiian culture. Hawaiian families understand that Ohana – loving and caring for each other – is what keeps their families together and becomes the social fabric of their islands. We feel the same way about our school.
Character Development
At Kaizen, we believe in and practice philosophies and systems that are based on making positive changes regularly. An approach to one’s personal or social life that focuses on continuous improvement encourages continual growth. This commitment to character development not only generates positive impacts amongst the students but also amongst the communities and individuals with whom they involve themselves.
High-Quality Martial Arts
We have a dedicated team of instructors who attend seminars and leader conferences whose main goal is to grow as students and teachers. As a Kaizen IBBA student, you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the top Kenpo Karate Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt instructors in the world. You will find our entire team to be dedicated, encouraging, always friendly, and ready to serve you. Kaizen International Black Belt Academy is nationally accredited through the United Martial Arts Alliance International, which supervises the validity of our instructors, curriculum, and belt rankings. This gives us access to additional seminars and events for our students and staff.
