Childrens Leadership Programs at FIMA
We all realize a positive academic education is extremely important for our children. However, most of the time it is our intrinsic value (that which you cannot see or measure) that is of even greater importance. What we “bring to the table of life” is just as crucial as our educational background. But children also need to develop the personality assets that will make them strong individuals. That is the goal and purpose of the FIMA Leadership Program.
​
The FIMA Leadership Program is a vehicle for promoting leadership skills, character development and overall positive social values. Through this program, FIMA will help to develop tomorrow’s leaders by instilling in them the necessary personality traits that are inclusive of all strong leaders. Ultimately, the FIMA Leadership Program will strengthen your child’s future by giving them the tools they need to lead, not follow, in the real world.
We hear hundreds of stories from past student that the Leadership Training which they participated in, has lead them to attaining the goals we set together years earlier, and that our students are living the life that they so desire!
​
An important aspect of our Leadership Training involves older student’s assistant instructing. This allows them to act as a positive role models for our younger students and practice their Personal Leadership Skills. This includes learning how to instruct special needs children. All this experience will look outstanding on your child's future college resume. Faustini's provides all of our Leadership Members with a recommendation letter upon upon applying to college.

About Leadership
"I have been doing karate for 8 years, and have been a part of the leadership program for about 5, and I have learned so much about life and how to work my way through it successfully. The topics that my senseis have touched on have spanned from being surrounded by the right people to improving your self-confidence and planning for the future. These lessons have helped me have a new perspective on life and be more knowedgable about different aspects of it. Our discussionsallow you to dig deeper, apply the topic to yor own personal experiences, and think about how you can improve yourself in that regard. Due to the leadership program, and karate as a whole, I have become more of a natural leader, and am more inclined to mentor and help people around me. I have really enjoyed being a part of the Leadership program at my dojo, and am excited for what is to come."
