Black Belts Against Drugs is a non-profit martial arts demonstration team dedicated to the prevention and awareness of substance abuse.  This team puts on martial arts demonstrations free of charge to bring awareness to this growing problem.

Young people can avoid the dangerous lure of drug use through these protective factors:

  • A strong positive relationship with at least one adult.

  • A sense of belonging.

  • Healthy recreational activities.

  • A positive self -image

  • A commitment to helping others.

  • A sense of competence.

  • A belief in their own power for positive change.

If you or someone you care about is suffering from  drug related problems, please seek help.  There are a number of local agencies that deal with this issue.  Numbers can be found in the phone book or by contacting the Lake County Health Department.

This team is championed by Lisa Hartman-Stackhouse and her husband Rod.  Lisa’s education and training as a certified substance abuse counselor provides guidance for the content of the program.  Rod, a two time Illinois state martial arts champion, provides technical training for the team and the action to get the attention of the audience.

This team is currently endorsed/sponsored by:

  • Illinois Korean-American Taekwondo Union

  • Yong Taekwondo Center

  • Wildwood Service

  • We are also working on sponsorships and endorsements from other local law enforcement agencies and local businesses.

If you have any questions about the program, demonstrations, or sponsorships, please contact us.
