THE REBELLION OUTPOST ORIGIN...
10 years ago, Sifu Edward Armstrong & Sifu Julliana Armstrong opened the first Light Sword Training Academy. It was a rebellion outpost. A place where warriors gathered. A place where community formed. A place where lives changed.
Today, there are numerous Rebellion Outposts worldwide. Virginia, California, Hawaii. Colorado. Georgia. Tennessee. Connecticut. Japan... and more. Each one commanded by a certified Academy Commander.
These commanders aren't employees. They're business owners. They're community leaders. They're building something bigger than themselves.
"A rebellion outpost isn't just a business. It's a movement."
Average Commander income: $10K-$20K/month.
15 students guaranteed in 90 days.
Complete system. Complete support. Complete training.
This isn't a franchise. This is a Commander Program. You're not buying a location. You're claiming territory. You're building your rebellion outpost.

Consistent curriculum delivery with measurable progression checkpoints
Better operational discipline through checklists, QA, and structure
Stronger leadership communication under the Code of S.A.B.E.R.
Risk reduction habits through safety protocols and member expectations
A quality-controlled pathway to scale responsibly (without cutting corners)
A leadership identity backed by proof, not titles
