Philosophy:
Hubbard's philosophy is to continually learn about the martial arts, always increasing knowledge and experience. His goals are to continue researching and training with the greatest Martial Artists of our time. Hubbard strives for “constant and never ending improvement," while building life-long relationships.
Master Hubbard shares his vast knowledge with students in the hopes that they will become Black Belt Leaders. Exemplary leaders, in fact, who demonstrate Confidence, Self Esteem, Courage, Discipline, Self Respect, and Self Worth. Students will gain a sense of peace in the knowledge that they can defend themselves, and family members if the need arises.
Hubbard aims to help students gain the knowledge and skills needed to become professional martial art instructors. His hopes are to see his students continue on to own and operate successful chains of martial arts studios. Hubbard has always done his part to help those who are less fortunate be able to have the opportunity to learn and enjoy the Martial Arts and to make our world a better place one Black Belt Leader at a time.
