Be One of the "Founding 300"

Join the first 300 martial arts schools leading the next era of Developing "Forever Skills"

The Founding 300

We’re partnering with 300 visionary schools that want to stand out in their communities, win parents’ loyalty, and keep students longer by bringing leadership training into every home.

As a Founding School, you’ll lock in exclusive recognition, priority support, and the chance to shape the future of LEGACY TEAMS.

Parents will ask why other schools don’t have it — and you’ll already be the leader.

The 300 Manifesto

We believe martial arts is more than kicks and punches. It is a way of life — a system for building leaders who embody respect, discipline, confidence, and resilience.

Yet in today’s world, too much of that message is left on the mats. Parents don’t always see the transformation.

Kids don’t always connect the dots. And schools too often lose students before the real impact takes root.

That changes today.

a movement

The Founding 300 is an international movement of martial arts schools who refuse to settle for average retention, passive parents, or missed potential. We are the pioneers who will bring leadership into the daily lives of families, not just during class — but every single day, right in their homes.

With LEGACY TEAMS, we put leadership training on students’ phones, where they live and learn. We gamify good habits, reward discipline, and showcase the growth parents crave to see.

To be part of the Founding 300 means:
  • You are among the first 300 schools internationally to lead this shift.
  • You carry the badge of a Founding Partner, forever recognized as a leader.
  • You shape the program itself, influencing the features and missions that will impact tens of thousands of students.
  • You set the standard others will follow.
We will look back one day and remember the first schools who dared to lead — the ones who claimed their spot when this movement was just beginning.

If you are reading this, the opportunity is open. But it won’t stay that way for long. Only 300 schools will ever hold this title.

The Founding 300 are not just clients. They are leaders, pioneers, and visionaries. Together, we will change the way families experience your training off the mats, in their homes, in school, and in their everyday life... forever. 

👉 The question is simple:

will you be one of The 300?

"perfect balance"

Legacy Loops provides a perfect balance of extrinsic/intrinsic motivation through instilling core values of kindness, learning and healthy habits. My children adapted effortlessly to making these core values part of their everyday life. At just nine and 10 years old, they are making a conscious effort to be kind, learn new things, and turn healthy choices into lifelong habits. Our family is grateful for the legacy/loops program because it is so easy to achieve these higher-thinking goals and foundational skills that will last them a lifetime.
