335 Character Development with Sebastian Bates

Studying martial arts as a child as a means to developing confidence planted a seed in the mind of Sebastian Bates and shaped the course of his life forever. Now having founded a martial arts organisation that specialises in character development for young people, Sebastian is shaping the course of life for thousands of children worldwide. With a focus on impact and purpose whilst instilling values of confidence, conduct and concentration through martial arts, Sebastian is bringing back a moral education into the lives for many young people. On a mission to inspire a generation to make a global impact, Sebastian recognises what is missing when it comes to a child's character development.   KEY TAKEAWAY "It wasn't about martial arts, it was about character. If we could work with these same young men when they were much, much younger and plant the seeds that had been planted in my mind as a young martial artist, it could change the course and direction of their lives completely."   BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS* The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson - https://amzn.to/3GBh9et The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy - https://amzn.to/41i6FZv   ABOUT SEBASTIAN Sebastian is the Founder of The Warrior Academy, an award-winning global Martial Arts organisation responsible for developing the character of 25,000 children across 3 continents.
