Meet the Business Owner

Renshi Steven F.

Business Owner

Renshi Steven Franz has spent his entire life since age 7 dedicated to studying the martial arts. He is an old school teacher in a new school age and yet he runs a very successful dojo and program. His black belts are some of the most respected in the United States and very competent in their skills and knowledge. Often quiet and reserve in real life, get him talking about martial arts and he will educate the masses on what it truly is. Renshi loves to compete but prefers teaching over anything else in life which shows in his dedication to his students and dojo. You can often find Renshi Franz at his dojo more than 60 hours a week figuring out ways to make his students better and help them improve their lives. Renshi Franz is considered by most of his peers as a great master of the martial arts, a humble person and very good at what he does… or as some have said «the toughest fighter yet the nicest guy I have competed against».
