About Ascent Martial Arts
Our family started our journey when my daughter was six. She spun the wheel at an event in the park and won several months of martial arts lessons at the local ATA. I was working overseas at the time and was highly skeptical about these “free” classes. How could a business survive when they were giving the training away for free? By the time I returned, my wife and daughter were both training and told me that I had to join them. I’m glad that I did!
The training that we received was transformative! And I realized that’s how they survived. They provided an experience that just had to be experienced to be believed. By then, we were happy to pay. Training as a family was the best decision we ever made. We grew as a family because we were in it together! We learned from one another and motivated each other. I still remember my six-year-old correcting my foot position because she was so much better at it than I was.
Over the years, our passion for training grew and we realized what we were sharing was unique. Nowhere else have we seen such an experience offered, and we wanted to make it available to others. That’s why we started Ascent!
