Master James Corbin

Master James Corbin (5th Dan) began training in martial arts at age 4. He considers himself very lucky to train in multiple martial arts with some of the best athletes, coaches, and instructors in the world. Master Corbin is grateful to all of the people that have helped him on his martial arts path.

He is a 2014 AAU National Silver Medalist, 2015 AAU National Champion, and 2016 World Open Silver Medalist. As a coach he was the 2025 ISF Games Team Coach in Serbia, he led the 2025 AAU 3rd place National Team, the 2013 AAU 2nd Place National Team, as well as the 2014 and 2015 AAU National Champion Teams.

What is most impressive though is not Master Corbin’s accomplishments, but rather his dedication and commitment to the integrity of the sport and to helping kids become strong, confident, and positive leaders. Master Corbin firmly believes that martial arts training is an amazing tool to teach confidence, accountability, self-control, compassion, work ethic, respect, and self-esteem. He holds the conviction that every child possesses the potential to accomplish his/her goals without limits when provided with unwavering guidance.

Some of the most important achievements we have accomplished are:

• Watching students begin at white belt and work up through black belt and become junior instructors

• Helping students overcome anxiety, fear, anger, and self-control situations

• Working to stop bullying situations

• Teaching students that believe they can’t accomplish, that with the correct planning they can

• Teaching students to become strong leaders in the gym and the community

• Facilitating students in persevering towards goals and watching as they accomplish what they thought they couldn’t do
