The Guidance of Mentors
My name is Ryan Gilbert, a lifelong martial artist focused on community leadership and mentoring youth, which is the way of the warrior. My team teaches in Boston, MA in the US while also running Communication Platform, a separate humanitarian team working in poor developing areas to spread our work and method.
We started this online video training curriculum because the only way we see to a world without violence, crime and human suffering is through building strong people, of all ages, through the martial arts, fitness and meditation. People need something inside them fortifying their honesty, conviction, determination and the integrity to never become corrupt, greedy or cruel, regardless of your situation. A united spiritual alliance of people across cultures and places.
If you look at our logo “Building Body Mind Soul” people generally read it as “Soul Mind Body Building”. Not so. Read it upwards and understand each level grows in importance. Yes, you want a physically healthy body, but even more important is your mind for intelligence and education but even above that is one’s soul and spirit. And the word “building” reminds us, it is never over. You’ve never mastered any of these, you only continue to grow and expand in this life and the next.

The path forward for us
Bruce Lee's influence was greatly martial arts but perhaps even more so life philosophy. His dream to bring his own Kung Fu philosophy to the world as "Jeet Kune Do" was really a demonstration of conviction and perseverance more than anything else. As was the work of Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela and Dr. Martin Luther King Junior -- all heroes. All part of our influence, as we will influence the world around us.
We will grow these online educational course programs for everyone, following the martial arts philosophy. Communication Platform is something we created separately from our business and functions as a humanitarian team offering several brilliant ways to help the world, efficiently, effectively, for free, just costing some time:
- to assist educated individuals to independently begin online video-tutoring for community leaders working to help their own people in poor, developing areas
- to offer free martial arts and public health school programs with entirely free curriculums for school teachers to decrease violence, bullying and substance abuse
- to continue our own intensive overseas work abroad in poor areas for local leaders to "train the trainer" for clean water, agriculture and public health programs
Our message to you
So when you are doing your push-ups, think of living longer to be there for your family. When you punch, think of protecting someone innocent. When you meditate, think of cleansing your soul. When you struggle, think of building your spirit to do what is right, even when not easy, even if no one ever cares. I know my self-worth because I stare deep into my reflection each day realizing I’m built of conviction for a cause that not money, fame, pride or glory could ever touch.
The true meaning of life is not about blindly helping others or hoping to find happiness — it’s about helping yourself in a way that helps the world and owning that work.
Take care of yourself, your family, your community, your nation, your world. A creator, an afterlife, a meaningful purpose.
- Never give up on yourself
- Never give up on helping others
- Never stop building
