Meet Thomas, the founder of Creating Champions For Life, whose journey began in an unexpected way.

Thomas's story traces back to his teenage years when he coached a group of children. This experience sparked a realization: guiding kids rather than dictating to them yields incredible results. His approach earned recognition as his after-school martial art program made it into the Hall of

Fame for the most creative after-school program in 2004.

Thomas focuses on ancient teachings, integrating

life skills and personal development into teaching children. He became the first martial art school to be a licensed daycare center, providing a haven for children facing expulsion from other daycares due to behavior disorders.

Thomas's innovative methods transformed the lives of these kids. From Ninja Night sleepovers to outings to the Museum of Flight, he instilled goal-setting, self-control, and problem-solving skills.
