Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Education, Special Education

Mission: “The Temple” is a Nonprofit corporation and shall operate exclusively for educational and charitable purposes within the definition provided by Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future Federal tax code. Our goal is to provide exposure to martial arts to anyone who is physically capable regardless of their financial standing. Through martial arts; important life lessons, confidence and self defense can all be passed down throughout the process. These lessons are accomplished by aggregating capable coaching volunteers and reaching out to community members via; social media, community outreach, or collaboration with other nonprofit organizations to reach as many students as possible. Our programs include Martial Arts centric drills and specific muscle group exercises which both expands the student’s repertoire for technique while also preparing the body to execute basic to advanced sets of movement. Alongside the physical training, each martial art that is taught is done so alongside the rich history of its origin to further highlight their significance and philosophy. Per the discretion of the board of directors , we may provide internships or volunteer opportunities which will increase the reach and impact of our communities efforts.

What I love about the coaches and what they do is that they do it for others. People don’t have to do anything for anyone but they sacrifice their time to the community. It truly brings them joy and that is the most genuine thing.

Temple helped me work on not only the various disciplines I was interested in, but who I am as a person and athlete. I highly recommend to anyone looking to get their feet wet or improve in their athletics. They also have a pretty hot breakdancing coach

The Temple is phenomenal. I’m a martial artist (capoeira) and stunt performer who loves to learn from other martial artist’s specialties. I sharpen up my sparring skills with Coach Lennox and Coach John as well as get great feedback about how to incorporate my own style. They do a great job of bringing out unique strengths in both kids and adults as well as host open sparring sessions rooted in a deep respect for the martial arts! Always a pleasure at this amazing dojo

Would have gave Lenox ten stars if I could , amazing friend and instructor he really knows his stuff and continues to learn and better himself so he can be the best for his class. I never write reviews but I felt very obligated to considering everything he has done for me and everyone else. Even if you can not donate money to help The Temple just donate your time by taking a class and spread the word about your experience there . I look forward to seeing how The Temple grows over the next few years.

This community of people is truly one of a kind. Everyone affirms one another with so much kindness and support. I have really enjoyed the things I’ve learned; self defense, self love, and togetherness.

This place is about community!

A place to learn, grow, recreate yourself time and time again with people passionate about doing the same.

This place is about art!

About each persons unique artistic taste is valued and appreciated. Every piece of art comes from a different artist, and people like what they like!

“A good artist makes good use of brushes it doesn’t normally stroke! “

This place is about failure

And understanding that through challenge and adversity we have an opportunity to be the rose that grew through concrete.

When individuals come together and create community through self expression and camaraderie, is the best way to explain what this establish group is known for. Martial arts is a form of self development that is in demand, and having a local gathering to grow and inspire can resonate far

The Temple is not just a dojo where you learn self defense. For me, the dojo was a place where I can let go and clear my head. It helped me mentality re-align myself with what’s important in life. At the same time I learned how to protect myself and those close to me. With that experience, it has led me to be in the position I hold now in my career which is an Executive Protection Agent for ultra high net worth the individuals and families. For that, I thank you The Temple 562 and Lennox Brown.
