Our Founder

Amy Cobb: Experience That Builds Trust

Amy Cobb has dedicated over 25 years to teaching martial arts and empowering young people. Her professional background with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security along with traditional martial arts instilled the discipline, structure, and safety first mindset that defines every aspect of Lions Den. She built this program to fill a critical gap for working parents in Southeastern Kentucky.

With public afterschool programs disappearing, parents need a trusted guide. Lions Den is a private program, built to last, ensuring your family has a reliable, long term partner in your child's development.

Our Purpose
