To educate the body and to strengthen the mind requires special attention to the lives of our students and goes beyond classes, passing tests, and earning rank. Individuals who study at Zhang Sah have chosen to do so not only as a way to attain/maintain physical fitness or build/refine techniques, but to perfect their character through experiencing new and balanced ways of being and approaching life.

1) Youth and Adult Programming
Zhang Sah does what cant happen or doesn't happen in school. We make learning relevant and rigorous. Our programs operate 12 months a year in order to support working parents. Zhang Sah engages in a holistic educational approach.

2) Accessibility
Zhang Sah partners with long term mission aligned sustainable funding sources that make our program and benefits available to the public with minimal financial barriers

3) Community Engagement
Zhang Sah partners and collaborates with local and state government, education, sport, and social service stakeholders in the community

Zhang Sah possesses the ideas, talent, and drive to achieve these goals. However the financial resources needed to perform needs to be augmented by supporters.

Zhang Sah is the only organization of its kind in the USA
We have mastered combining child care and academic education with martial arts. We have been able to sustain this work since 1997, for twenty years. The program model have brought innovative ways to engage school children in their classwork in ways that don't feel like school to them. We are supporting kids to engage in a healthy lifestyle in mind and body.

We haven't developed a strong social media, fundraising, capital needs plans. The board needs new leadership and direction that is not partial to the founder. The organization must be prepared to embrace the next cycle with 2nd generation leadership.
