History

Established in 1998.

Our story began in 1998 when Sensei Ben La France looked around at the martial arts community and said… things need to change.

Strip-​Mall karate schools were everywhere. They taught people how to kick and punch and focused on tournament fighting. No one taught the philosophies and values of the martial arts.

Sensei La France knew that there was more to the martial arts than tournaments or just getting your black belt. The martial arts were a way of life and he wanted to teach that to the public.



The martial arts community laughed when Sensei La France said he was going to open a traditional martial arts school. One that focused on teaching techniques, the history and value system of the art, and not just how to move, why you move.



But Sensei La France didn’t listen. And in 1998, he opened the dojo doors of The Martial Arts Studio. Because he knew that the martial arts weren’t about learning how to fight or make money. True martial arts was about making better people.
