Hello everyone! If you’re just joining us, take a quick sec and introduce yourself. Also if you want you can share a pic of your studio! I’ll start.. I’m a lifelong martial artist who started at five years old, started teaching at 13, and now that I am 44 I own Kaizen Academy of Martial Arts in Gilbert Arizona. We have been open for 5 years now and plan on expanding to a bigger location at the end of year 6. Throughout the years I’ve spent training in multiple styles, achieving black belts in Taekwondo, Kenpo , and Shotokan karate. I’ve also spent time learning business strategies from some of the top school owners in the country, such as Dave Kovar, Steven, Oliver, Fred De Palma, Roland Osborne, MAIA and many others. I hope to cultivate a community where we can all get together to share ideas whether we are just starting off or looking for that dose of motivation and inspiration to take our studios to the next level.
