At Academy Safe, our mission is to ensure that martial arts training is safe, supportive, and empowering for every student. We set rigorous standards for academies across the United States, from requiring background checks for all staff to ensuring proper safety measures, insurance coverage, and professional training credentials. By doing so, we create a network of accredited martial arts academies where students can learn with confidence.
This past month, we were honored to partner with Seminar Stack, a unique organization that shares our commitment to growth, wellness, and community support, at their Short Stack event held at the Hollywood Casino in Grantville, PA.
About Seminar Stack
Seminar Stack is a for-profit organization with a mission to build stronger, safer communities through skill-sharing and wellness. Their focus is on first responders, including law enforcement, military personnel, and other emergency responders, helping them access jiu-jitsu and martial arts training as a pathway to physical, mental, and emotional wellness.
But Seminar Stack’s vision goes even further. By organizing seminars, tournaments, and wellness events, they raise funds for nonprofits that support first responders and their communities. These events provide not only high-level martial arts training but also a space for personal growth, resilience-building, and networking. Their goal is to create purpose-driven experiences that strengthen both individuals and communities.
The Short Stack Event
The Short Stack event brought together athletes, first responders, and martial arts enthusiasts for a day of seminars, controlled combat BJJ tournaments, and wellness activities designed specifically for those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others. The event exemplified Seminar Stack’s mission: connecting first responders with resources, fostering health and wellness, and building community.
Our Partnership with Seminar Stack
Academy Safe was proud to be part of the Short Stack event, supporting Seminar Stack’s efforts to create safer, healthier, and more empowered communities. Our collaboration highlighted the importance of accredited, insured martial arts academies that maintain strict safety standards while providing high-quality training.
By working together, we emphasized that martial arts can be much more than a sport, it can be a tool for wellness, resilience, and personal growth, especially for those in demanding, high-stress professions like law enforcement and emergency response. This partnership also allowed us to showcase how Academy Safe helps set the gold standard for martial arts safety, ensuring that every participant can train with confidence and peace of mind.
Looking Ahead
Academy Safe looks forward to continuing this partnership with Seminar Stack and supporting future events that empower first responders through martial arts and wellness. By combining Seminar Stack’s dedication to community and purpose-driven events with Academy Safe’s commitment to safety and accreditation, we can help ensure that martial arts training is a positive, enriching, and secure experience for everyone.
