Gladiolus

Gladiolus takes its inspiration from its namesake also called the sword lily. The Gladiolus flower is our daughter’s birth flower and speaks to the inspiration behind our desire to provide opportunity for training and mentorship. The idea that beauty can be intrinsically tied to the concept valor and strength is important and we felt it fitting to make the sword Lilly the inspiration for our signature non profit program.

Self Improvement

Beauty is revealed on the stage in a political debate or while presenting at the science fair. Strength is cultivated on the dancefloor and intelligence shines forth when a martial artist defeats a larger opponent with preparation and strategy.
