Martial Arts Educator, Business Consultant and Community Leader
Hi, thanks for checking out my page.
As an entrepreneur and consultant, I take pride in learning, creating, and solving problems. I subscribe to the definition of CLIENT as "Under the Protection Of" and so treat each client and student of mine like I am their personal body guard, coach and mentor. I truly care about your success while working with me.
As a father and husband, my family is the most important thing in my life. I work so hard and serve so many people simply to lead by example and show what we're capable of.
"Mastery is operating under correct knowledge, consistently, over long periods of time"

Chapter 1: Leadership Academy Inc.
Mr. Gary Engels is a Royce Gracie Black Belt Belt (Gracie Jiu Jitsu) and a 4th degree black belt (Taekwondo) who founded Leadership Academy in Woodruff, WI. in August of 2005. That's 20 years of Martial arts and Leadership Excellence!
Leadership Academy was developed to use martial arts training as a vehicle to teach Leadership Training. Engels designed an online youth experiential based leadership program called Projabi to help assist students with taking action, practicing community service, and developing powerful leadership experiences through community activism. We recorded thousands of community based projects in multiple countries around the world.
That program has evolved into developing Remarkable Young Leaders with LEGACY-Missions and Leadership-Loops. (More on this below)
Chapter 2: TEDx Talk
Gary Engels' method for teaching leaders has inspired hundreds of people to become responsible, participative, contributing citizen leaders. On Projabi.com, he has helped to record over 650 Projects. He spoke right before Terry Jones of Travelocity.com and Kayak.com.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
Chapter 3: Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu
Royce Gracie 360 is the official curriculum of the Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu Network and Gary has been certified, by Royce Gracie and the Valente Brothers to teach this authentic self defense curriculum approved by GM Helio Gracie.
Jiu Jitsu is a Complete Self Defense system developed by Grand Master Helio Gracie and uses chokes, joint locks, controlling positions, throws, and strikes. The techniques are based on leverage, strategy and correct body positioning, not strength!
The Jiu Jitsu way of life promotes a healthy life style from eating habits, virtues, and self defense techniques and physical conditioning, and is the most complete and efficient Martial Art in the world, with patience and proper technique, not strength, being key.
“If you are looking for the best form of Self Defense in the World this is the style
for you”

Kingsworth - I’ve partnered with Kingsworth, a private network of analysts helping businesses save costs and boost revenue. Unlike other firms, Kingsworth doesn’t charge a percentage of the savings they identify. Instead, they offer free analysis and connect companies with discounted, member-only services for expenses they're already paying.
Beyond savings, Kingsworth specializes in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), helping companies expand or prepare for a profitable exit by increasing their value.
I’d love to explore how becoming a referral partner with Kingsworth—at no cost—could benefit you. Let’s set up a Zoom call or grab lunch to chat further.
Looking forward to connecting!
