This week on the ATA Nation Podcast we talk to Master Kerry Regano from Ignite ATA Martial Arts in Ventura, California. At her recent tournament there was a great example of going Beyond the Belt and in this episode we talk all about it.

Not only will you hear the story of an awesome scholarship donation to Master Regano's students but you'll here how she got involved in ATA Martial Arts and how she looks to impact the future Beyond the Belt!

Takeaways:

• Master Regano began her martial arts journey by enrolling her son at age three, which led her to become a black belt and school owner.
• The Dan McGrath Scholarship Fund provides financial support for outstanding students in leadership programs, emphasizing the importance of community and mentorship.
• Master Regano highlights the transformative power of martial arts in developing leadership skills and character beyond physical training.
• Parents are encouraged to participate alongside their children in martial arts, fostering personal growth and strengthening family bonds through shared experiences.
• The ATA's philosophy of 'beyond the belt' emphasizes the lifelong values and skills students learn, which extend into their everyday lives.
• Involving oneself in martial arts not only enriches the child's experience but can also significantly enhance parents' lives and parenting skills.
