OUT OF THE DOJO, AND INTO THE WORLD...
Removing barriers. A nonprofit with a MISSION to empower youth, strengthen character, and contribute to the community through a martial arts method.
Our Vision.
Discipline. Compassion. Contribution.
We develop Charlotte's youth into confident, mindful, and compassionate contributors to the world they will inhabit in the future.
We propel these young lives into the future by teaching them to apply what they learn in the dojo, outside in the world.
Our students work together and develop new skills through their actions in the community, school , and at home.
No matter their socioeconomic status, Charlotte's youth deserve every opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential. Emerge will be instrumental in transforming our student’s lives, providing a hand-up that may be needed.
I humbly ask you to join us in building a Charlotte that works for everyone by supporting our most important asset, OUR Children.
Our Method.
Martial Arts
Martial arts focus on engaging the mind as well as the body, with particular emphasis on respect, self-control, focus, discipline, and individual achievement. At Emerge our students will build character and develop as compassionate, confident, and kind human beings.
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment, which one can develop through the practice of meditation. We have partnered with the Mindfulness Challenge, a premier meditation organization that provides a flipped classroom model for students to build their individual foundation for a lifetime of meditation.
Learning That Contribution
Makes The Difference.
Community service projects developed to challenge the student to advance their leadership skill through real-world application.
Transformation
Out of the dojo and into the world… Parents and Teachers will see a noticeable improvement in the home, at school. and in the community. Students will be more confident, disciplined, and self-aware.
