Uncommon Man 3: Building Uncommon Men Through Martial Arts and Mentorship with Sean Greene

Sean Green"s life story reads like an action film script, but with a depth Hollywood rarely captures. From the sun-drenched shores of Trinidad to becoming the oldest person ever to make the U.S. National Karate Team at age 51, Sean"s journey exemplifies what happens when faith, discipline, and purpose align. When Sean moved to America at age 10, he brought with him the military-like discipline instilled by his Caribbean Catholic school education. This foundation, combined with natural athletic ability that led to Division I track competition at Arizona State University, set the stage for his remarkable martial arts career. But what makes Sean truly uncommon isn"t just his physical prowess – it"s how he integrates his Christian faith with his passion for developing strong, biblically-minded men. Drawing on his experience as both an educator and martial artist, Sean offers a refreshing perspective on what"s missing in today"s approach to raising boys. He pulls no punches when discussing the problems plaguing modern education: "We"re still in this "everyone gets a trophy" era" and "socially promoting kids who aren"t academically ready because we"re afraid to hurt their feelings." His solution? Create environments that challenge young men, require excellence, and provide strong male mentorship. Sean"s martial arts philosophy goes far beyond physical technique. He teaches that "meekness is strength under control" and emphasizes how training develops focus, coordination, memory, and discipline. For Christians who question whether martial arts aligns with their faith, Sean points to biblical warriors like David and Samson, reminding us that men are called to be "providers, protectors, priests, and prophets" in their homes. Perhaps most inspiring is how Sean made the U.S. National Karate Team two decades after most competitors retire. Unable to match the speed of 20-year-olds, he studied the physics of fighting, mastering timing, distance, and momentum to overcome younger opponents. This same analytical approach and unwavering discipline characterizes his approach to faith, family, and developing the next generation of uncommon men.
