Believing Through Achieving

Believing Through Achieving (BTA) is redefining martial arts education by making it accessible, inclusive, and adaptable. Our mission is to equip teachers, therapists, caregivers, and community leaders with the tools to bring the transformative benefits of martial arts to those who need it most.

We believe that every individual—regardless of ability, background, or circumstance—deserves the opportunity to build strength, confidence, and resilience. By providing a flexible, easy-to-follow curriculum, we empower students to learn in the environments where they thrive, whether at home, in therapy sessions, in classrooms, or in community spaces.

At BTA, we are more than a martial arts program—we are movement therapy dedicated to breaking down barriers, fostering growth, and ensuring that no one is left behind on their journey to personal achievement.

Believing Through Achieving was born out of a simple but urgent question: Why is access to high-quality, inclusive physical education still out of reach for so many—especially students with special needs and those in under-resourced communities?

As experienced educators and martial artists, we recognized the profound physical and emotional benefits of structured movement, but we saw how traditional programs failed to accommodate diverse learners. Schools struggled with time, staffing, and resources. Special education settings often lacked a meaningful physical fitness component. So we decided to build something different.

Our team developed an online martial arts platform that removes barriers—no equipment, no extra resources, and no prior experience required. We designed it to be flexible, accessible, and easy to implement in any setting, from special education classrooms to after-school programs and community centers.

Early pilots and real-world application confirmed what we believed: students of all backgrounds and learning abilities thrive when given the right tools. A comparative study reinforced these findings, showing that students using our platform advanced significantly faster than peers in traditional programs—regardless of neurotype.

But at the heart of our work isn’t data—it’s belief. Belief that every learner deserves access. That movement can empower. And that inclusion isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Believing Through Achieving (BTA) is redefining what inclusive physical education looks like in schools and community centers. Our online martial arts platform provides a structured, sensory-friendly curriculum that empowers educators, therapists, and caregivers to deliver meaningful physical activity—no martial arts background required.

Designed to meet the needs of both neurodivergent and neurotypical students, our program improves coordination, focus, and emotional regulation while fostering inclusion, confidence, and self-worth. Because our curriculum requires no partner drills or special equipment, it can be implemented seamlessly in special education classrooms, after-school programs, and community settings.

This is more than exercise—it’s movement with purpose. It’s a system proven to work, with video testimonials and professional endorsements highlighting improved outcomes in behavior, engagement, and physical well-being.

We’re not just filling gaps in physical education—we’re building a new standard. One that’s accessible, inclusive, and transformative.

Believing Through Achieving (BTA) has built a revolutionary martial arts platform that empowers teachers, therapists, caregivers, and community leaders to bring the life-changing benefits of martial arts to those who need it most. Our program removes traditional barriers—financial, geographic, and logistical—so that individuals of all abilities and backgrounds can train, grow, and thrive in the environments where they feel most comfortable.

Currently, our impact is being felt at Life College, where young adults with intellectual disabilities are building confidence and independence through martial arts, and at Proyecto Pastoral, where children from low-income families in Boyle Heights are gaining strength, discipline, and self-worth. Additionally, school districts within California are integrating our platform to provide structured movement and engagement for all students, neurodivergent and neurotypical.

But we can do more.

Right now, our ability to expand is limited due to funding. We have the infrastructure, the expertise, and the proven success—what we need is support to scale our reach and make martial arts accessible to even more underserved communities.

With additional funding, we can:
✅ Expand access to more schools, therapy centers, and community programs
✅ Equip more educators and caregivers with the tools to teach martial arts
✅ Create pathways to leadership for students who aspire to become instructors
✅ Foster a ripple effect of empowerment, confidence, and opportunity

Your support can help us remove barriers and transform lives—one student, one class, and one empowered leader at a time.

We currently serve multiple organizations within the state of California.

A Message from Our CEO, Joshua George

At Believing Through Achieving, we are deeply committed to the belief that every individual—regardless of ability, background, or circumstance—deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and succeed. Our mission is to make the transformative power of martial arts accessible to all, with a particular focus on neurodiverse individuals, economically disadvantaged communities, and those affected by domestic violence or bullying.

Martial arts is far more than physical training. It fosters mental resilience, confidence, and self-discipline. For neurodivergent individuals, it can enhance focus, coordination, and emotional regulation. For those who have faced adversity—whether through economic hardship, bullying, or violence—martial arts provides a structured environment to regain control, rebuild self-worth, and feel empowered. For everyone, martial arts offers a unique opportunity to develop both physical and mental strength, leading to personal growth that transcends the training grounds.

What distinguishes Believing Through Achieving is our steadfast commitment to unlocking the potential within each person. We provide an inclusive, supportive platform where every individual can experience growth, resilience, and achievement. With your support, we will continue to create lasting, positive impacts in the lives of those we serve.

Thank you for standing with us on this important journey.

Sincerely,
Joshua George
CEO, Believing Through Achieving
