Certify your instructors.
Deploy the curriculum.
$2,997. One-time license. You teach Light Sword combat at academies that already have students: weekend workshops, private lessons, contract programs at gyms. Keep your job. Teach on your own schedule.
You don't want to quit your job.
You want a skill you can teach on weekends.
The franchise pitches all want you to bet the house on a building you don't own. The "passive income" courses want thousands and don't deliver income.
You want something different: a real skill, a real certification, and a real way to monetize it on your terms. At gyms and academies that already have students, on weekends and evenings, with no fixed location obligation, no inventory, and no monthly overhead.
That's what the LSMA Instructor Certification is. It's a $2,997 one-time license: a portable way to teach a ranked Light Sword combat system on your own schedule.
You've been training in this system.
Certification is when it starts paying you back.
Every certified instructor is founding faculty of a federation on its way up: a licensed light sword martial art, fielding a Team USA world-championship competitor in 2026 and building toward international federation recognition. Your certification doesn't just let you teach. It puts your name in the instructor directory of a sport that's ascending.
Everything you need to teach.
Nothing you don't.
The certification gives you the credential, the curriculum and the marketing infrastructure to monetize it. What you don't get: anything you'd have to maintain or inventory.
Five sessions a week.

The credential carries weight
because of who's behind it.
Built the founding U.S. light sword academy · Entrepreneur of the Year · Featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox
3× WEKAF National Champion · NASM-certified personal trainer · Delivered U.S. military contract programs, Langley AFB & Fort Eustis
Founding-rate certification is capped at 100 founding instructors.
Founding instructors are listed in the LSTA public directory ahead of new entrants and keep their founding rate on any future renewal. New pricing introduced after the cohort closes applies only to new entrants.
Only LSTA Corporate certifies instructors.
If you're not generating revenue
in 90 days, we keep working with you.
A 90-day continued-support guarantee. If you've followed the playbook, completed certification, used the academy outreach scripts, run your first workshop, and you haven't generated revenue, LSTA continues working with you until you do: additional coaching, contact introductions, marketing guidance. No expiration on that commitment.
The one condition: you must run the playbook as provided. The guarantee covers execution of the system, not substitution of it.
