Another spotlight from Coach Herman:

🥊Building Strong Young Men🥊

I hold the highest value in our youths learning how to fight. Combat training has a variety of crucial benefits for young developing body and minds. It promotes greater physical strength/conditioning, discipline, mental fortitude and resilience, mood/emotional regulation, and self-confidence. Exposure to hard physical/cognitive work and developing tolerance to discomfort slowly makes other challenges in life seem not so daunting or overwhelming. Ironically, combat competence tends to influence one’s choice towards calm over chaos- and actually minimizes the need or chance to fight. Your skill is a major deterrent- and it carries with you as you navigate through your travels.

I can’t say enough about the 3 young men featured in this video. Kind, respectful, and responsible young men who have bright futures ahead of them. I’m grateful for the time I’ve had training them.

Brayden will be graduating this month from Susquehanna Valley High School and will be attending SUNY Broome Community College this September. He’ll be majoring in Sports Studies and targeting a career in college athletic training.

Braden will be starting his senior year this September at Chenango Forks High School and is interested in attending SUNY Broome Community College to study either business or communication after graduating from high school. His career goal is to ultimately have his own barbering business.

Eli graduates this June from Susquehanna Valley High School and will be attending Geneva College in September. He will be majoring in music business and pursuing a career in music composition.

Who’s next?
