Leadership
Advanced technique, sparring, weapons — and the responsibility to lead and mentor the next student up.
Step up
From student to leader.
The Leadership Program is where advanced students deepen their practice — sparring, weapons and more — while learning to help others grow.
What leaders work on
Advanced sparring, weapons and refined technique — paired with the responsibility, communication and mentoring skills that define a leader.
Many CFTP leaders go on to become instructors themselves.
Mentoring the next student
Leadership means teaching. Advanced students learn to support beginners — reinforcing their own skills while giving back to the mat that built them.
