FROM ROCKET SCIENTIST TO…
He left a very successful career in engineering building satellites and rockets (he’s literally a rocket scientist) in 1995 because he wanted to spend his energies developing people. While engineering and developing technology is an important way to make a contribution to the world, the better way for him would be to help people directly, not through technology.
So he started his Martial Arts School…
Building this school and then the next one until he owned eight locations in Arizona and California along with getting a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology and a Ph.D. in Education made him realize that a solid foundation in marketing, sales, and business was what was usually lacking, not just in martial arts schools but in most businesses.
KarateBuilt™ Martial Arts
KarateBuilt Martial Arts was founded in 1995 by Greg Moody and grew to 8 schools and over 17,000+ students! When Master Instructor Greg Moody founded the school, the three key components to training students was to:
- Build self-esteem not just for our students but in the community
- Build self-discipline… because this is the key to future success
- Increasing safety and personal fitness for everyone around us
These key components have continued to be part of what Dr. Moody and his full-time professional staff teaches every day.
KarateBuilt… Building Students Future!

LIFE SKILLS OF LEADERS
Leadership Isn’t a Thing You Do, It’s Skills You Develop!
The Life Skills of Leaders” shows how leaders are not born, they are made out of specific skills that need to be developed. Any person can, therefore, improve their ability to be a leader by developing these six skills or improving the ones they are weak at. Adults and parents of children can use the “workbook” style to make significant progress in each area. The first book of its kind, first published in 2006, now in its 4th edition, “The Life Skills of Leaders” connects six pillars of leadership – vision, self-esteem, communication, respect, honesty and discipline together to build a foundation for future success for readers and students whether they are young or old because the principles of the pillars transcend age, culture, and education so everyone can learn to become a leader!

Stories Of The Black Belts: Volume I
Lessons In Success, Excellence, Discipline, Leadership and Life!
Stories of the Black Belts is unfortunately only a partial story. It’s partial because I don’t have all of the thousands of Black Belts we have trained since 1995 in here and more importantly because it’s only a snapshot. It’s just one moment in time where each Black Belt – as a requirement to become a first degree (or second or third degree or higher) Black Belt needed to take a moment and write an essay about “What Karate Means To Me”. While many of these Black Belts are still training and I know their current story, in the last two and a half decades I would love to know what all of their “now” stories are. Actually I do know many of their successes but it’s hard to get the practicing lawyer or the M.D., or one of the entrepreneurs to stop for a minute and write an essay for our book…Nevertheless, in the pages here are, I feel, inspiring and motivating stories about students who started on the martial arts journey as young as 3 years old and some as old as 93. Most began so they could get stronger, gain discipline, build confidence or even learn to defend themselves – the primary reasons students enter the dojang. Yet you’ll see in their essays that they received much more than this. My hope is reading some of these stories will inspire you on your next journey with us in martial arts or to whatever great successes are next!
Getting Started…
Basic Curriculum
Building A Foundation in Martial Arts!
The Basic Curriculum has been developed to help students learn basic skills and find out if martial arts training and becoming a Black Belt is something that they can accomplish. Our goals are that the students understand basic martial arts concepts, the instructors will be able to spend individual time with each student, and be able to focus on improving the student’s physical conditioning.
The Path To Success…
Master Club Curriculum
Building Martial Arts Knowledge!
The Master Club Curriculum has been developed to build Martial Arts knowledge. This is a complete Martial Arts System all the way up to 6th degree Black Belt with the supervision of a certified instructor. The preparation for becoming a leader and instructor in martial arts!
Keeping Kids Safe!
Bullying
Truths, Myths And What To Do!
Amazon #1 Bestseller! Bullying is the most common danger affecting children today. One in three kids are affected by bullying at any given time. Unfortunately, just about all strategies (in elementary schools, churches, and in “common knowledge”) do not work and are based on myths and misperceptions that can damage children in severe and profound ways. You probably have it all wrong. This book will reveal these very common, damaging myths and show the real research and data that will help parents, educators, and anyone who wants to help kids!

Stories Of The Black Belts: Volume 2
More Lessons In Success, Excellence, Discipline, Leadership and Life!
The UPCOMING Stories of the Black Belts Volume II is another chapter in the 1,000s of Black Belts that I have had the honor of working with over the last 3 decades. Like Volume I, we only have room for a select number of their stories, but in this book I have a few special stories… scattered in here among the essays are stories of Black Belt years after they received their 1st degree Black Belt. Some are still training and some are years past. I asked a select few to tell me what martial arts has meant to them in their careers and lives years later. So this is a different kind of snapshot than before. In the pages are more motivating, funny and valuable stories about students who began a journey in martial arts as late in life as 93 and as young as 3 years old. My hope is that this is another step on your journey to success!

Life Skills Of Leaders!
Special Edition Series (6 book series)
To change the world, to make it a better place, to make progress in technology, health, psychology, science, or education, we need leaders. Leadership is something everybody talks about wanting. We want to be leaders, we want our kids to be leaders, we admire leaders, and we even insert rock stars or sports figures as leaders in the absence of other leaders. There are thousands of books, definitions, quotes, seminars, classes, and stories about leaders. In his first book “The Life Skills of Leaders”, Dr. Greg Moody wrote about 6 life skills that leaders develop. In the “Special Edition” series, each of these life skills is individually focused on for the parent, teacher or student who wants to develop a higher level of each skill towards becoming a leader!
More Excellence…
Parent Action Plan! Series
The Parent Action Plan! series of books (including Amazon #1 Bestseller: Parent Action Plan: Fear!) from Dr. Greg Moody, Master Instructor are for parents (and teachers and other professionals who work with kids) to get introductions to important topics for their kids like ADHD, autism, sports performance, academic performance, anxiety and fear and more.
Each book takes a look at one need, skill or talent and “wraps that around” performance skills such as discipline, respect, vision, honesty, etc. from over 3 decades of Master Moody’s work in education, business, and of course on the mat.
These are not designed to replace professional diagnosis or training, but to provide an introduction to caregivers about some incredibly important topics so they can take the next steps to success!
LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Greg Moody – Author
I have the original edition of the Life Skills of Leaders. The concept that Leadership is an innate ability or quality gets crushed by this book. I have used the material in this book to train leadership skills and watched many individuals grew from 100% followers to first-rate leaders. My background is in martial arts, but the leadership skills in the book are universal.
Dr Moody is thoughtful, experienced and an expert in teaching leadership skills. Thumbs way up!
I liked the simplicity of the discipline and what aspects of discipline I am using right now that I can beef up to make the classes better!
