From Confidence to Black Belt Dreams

How Dominic’s journey at KarateBuilt inspired discipline, focus, and a desire to lead.

When parents talk about real confidence and discipline—not just hopes, but results—you listen.
Jacqueline Zimmerli recently shared how her son, Dominic, has grown over the past four years at KarateBuilt Martial Arts. Her words say everything we work for: stronger focus, higher discipline, and the kind of confidence that carries over into school, home, and every challenge in front of him.

Dominic now has his first-degree black belt, and he’s already looking ahead to earning his second-degree black belt—and even becoming an instructor one day. That’s what happens when a child is surrounded by positive role models and a community that expects the best from them.

Take a moment to watch her short video and read the transcript below. You’ll see exactly why families trust KarateBuilt, and why we’d love to help your child grow next.

 

“So, my son will be turning nine here pretty soon. He has achieved his black belt, and it’s been one of his greatest achievements. That was his long-term goal from the time he was four years old. It’s really helped him to learn how to be confident and to persevere, build his tenacity. When class gets hard, he pushes through learning how to be disciplined by controlling his actions. All of these things that he has learned here have helped him not just here during classes, but at school and at home. He is more responsible when it comes to doing his chores or his homework on his own.

They teach the children here essential life skills. They go through examples. They talk about what they mean, what it looks like, and they also teach the parents as well, so that way we can help them to be successful at home. It’s been one of the best things, one of the best decisions I’ve made for my son, and you should join too.”
