About the webmaster: Mark A. Frasher

Hello there!

Mark Frasher And thank you for visiting my site. I truly hope that you find the information you need here and if you don't that you will let me know so that I can add it in. I encourage and welcome all feedback and suggestions. Please contact me here.

Martial arts have helped me further myself as a person, met many great people (including my wife), and have found what identifies me personally. And I owe it all to studying the arts. Learning Martial Arts can be exactly what you are looking for. So good luck and visit us often for all your Martial Arts training needs.

The martial arts I have studied are Judo (2 years), Tae Kwon Do (6 months), Kempo (3 years), Muay Thai/boxing (2 years), and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (3.5) years. I have also been training MMA for about the last 2 years in addition to BJJ. My goal is to compete and eventually open my own gym.
