The Street-Wise Success programs began with the Streetwise Self-Defense Program created by Terry Bryan's instructor, Kyoshi Jim Mather. This comprehensive self-defense program was based on 5 key principles - Anticipation, Recognition, Negotiation, Evasion and Response. While most self-defense programs were teaching physical techniques, Kyoshi Mather created a principle-based system that enabled the students to use their most powerful weapon - the mind.

This program was the foundation to the current Street-Wise Success Programs being taught through our nonprofit organization today. Our current programs are based on 14 key principles, which create a foundation for success in all areas of ones lives. Currently Street-Wise Success is approved through the Colorado Department of Education and is being taught as an accredited course in many area high schools and after-school programs. In addition to its many martial arts related on-going programs being taught through the American Black Belt Academy, courses and seminars are held throughout the region on a variety of areas including:

• Street-Wise Self-Defense
• Street-Wise Principles Of Success
• Street-Wise Goal Setting
• Street-Wise Legal Self-Defense
