Christian Black Belt Academies, International was founded in 1996 by Pastor Troy Stein and Pastor Craig Shaw.  The founders felt that there was a need for a martial arts organization that keeps its focus on the needs of the students and the development of their character into what God would have for their lives.  In 2001 they introduced a new advanced style of Taekwondo entitled, the Abishai Style of Taekwondo.

Christian Black Belt Academies, International, maintains its conviction that Traditional Taekwondo training is the heart of each of our continually developing programs.  Our desire is to make quality self defense training affordable and convenient to every student that desires to excel as a martial artist.  It is with these objectives that we have developed the Abishai Style of Taekwondo.

The vision of Christian Black Belt Academies, International, is to train people with practical and traditional techniques of self defense while developing their moral and spiritual character.  CBBA is a Christ-centered martial arts organization that believes in promoting integrity, courtesy, loyalty, respect, perseverance, honor and self-control in every student.
