231 Main Street, Ames, IA 50010
We remember when we were children, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. We wondered if we had what it took to succeed and we weren't the most athletic or confident children - quite the opposite. Little did we know that beginning our martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of our lives!
When we opened our school in 1983, we made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Ames by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.
