Webinar Series: Conversations That Matter
Real stories. Honest reflection. Lessons that last.
Join Beyond the Cage ambassadors as they open up about purpose, identity, and growth, through conversations that truly matter.
Overview
In a world that celebrates talent and instant results, the quiet lessons of respect, effort, and discipline are often overlooked.
In this Beyond the Cage webinar, Corey Cain, 5x World Kickboxing Champion, martial arts coach, and mentor, joins his student, Zak Sylvester, to explore how the values learned on the mat can build character far beyond it.
From years of teaching and competing at the highest level, Corey has seen how martial arts can transform not just athletes, but people, shaping confidence, humility, and resilience that last a lifetime.
This conversation is for anyone who believes that strength begins with character, and that the best lessons we pass on are those we live by example.
About the Conversation
Drawing on his journey as both a world champion and lifelong coach, Corey and Zak discuss:
How respect, effort, and discipline create the foundation for growth.
The lessons martial arts can teach young people about focus, humility, and perseverance.
Why character matters more than talent, and how it’s built through daily practice.
Corey shares stories from his own experiences mentoring young athletes and teaching across generations, revealing how timeless values can still shape confident, grounded, and respectful individuals today.
This isn’t a talk about fighting, it’s about the mindset behind it: the discipline to keep learning, the respect to keep listening, and the humility to keep growing.
Why Attend
Learn how discipline and respect can be taught, not through words, but through example.
Discover how martial arts principles can build character in sport, education, and life.
Gain insight into how consistent effort and structure help young people thrive in today’s world.
Join the conversation as part of the BTC Webinar Series: Conversations That Matter, and hear first-hand how the principles of martial arts can inspire confidence, self-respect, and resilience across every walk of life.

Embracing Fear
"We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
