doesn’t just train in martial arts as a
method of self-defense, he operates a
chain of 360 Martial Art Academy loca-

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Haganah and
KravMaga provide some of the most ef-
fective types of self-defense and hand-

armed assailants.

the trust document.
Another advantage of the uni-
trust is the fact that assets can be
added to the trust. For example,
you might establish the trust during
life and elect to add assets from
your estate at death, particularly
if it is continuing for the benefit of
children or grandchildren. The ideal
situation for funding a charitable
trust with appreciated real estate is
debt-free real estate or real estate
with non-recourse debt. However,
don’t despair if you have debt on
your property as there are several
