Master Steven Franz began teaching martial Arts with a vision in mind in 1991. His ideal was to build a school where people of all walks from life could come and learn proper and authentic Martial Arts in an open environment with the focus on knowledge and life improvement as part of the training process. Master Franz has been training for over 33 years non-stop and has a sincere passion for both training and teaching Martial Arts.

People of all ages have gained mass benefits that have helped them live more successful lives through martial arts training at our dojo.
