Cristian Fernandez, Sensei“The greater the loyalty of a group toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability that the group will achieve its goals."

You can't be a leader if you care only for yourself. It just doesn't work. You can't fake caring for your people either. You also have to take the time to help the ones around you be more than they could be on their own. In fact, I would argue that you aren't a real leader until you have helped some others be leaders. You might get people to follow you, but if you can't help others get to the next level and perhaps even beyond yourself, then you might be a great entrepreneur but a lousy leader. Cristian Fernandez is one of those leaders that understands that good leadership is about making leaders, and we are so fortunate to have him in the World Sansei Koryu Gojuryu Karatedo. He leads by example and he understands that in order to be a leader you have to connect with people on multiple levels which all boils down to trust.
Cristian Fernandez, has been a student of Karate since 1982 and to this day he continues to consider himself nothing more than a student. His study of the martial arts has taken him to many events throughout the World. His lifelong goals have been to learn, teach and give back to his community.
