About Us: Built on Purpose. Driven by Values.
At Chozen Martial Arts Academy, we believe martial arts is more than just physical training — it’s a vehicle for transforming lives. Our academy is grounded in three core values: Empowerment Through Martial Arts, Community and Connection, and Integrity Over Ego. These values guide everything we do, from the way we teach techniques to the way we interact with every student who walks through our doors. We create an environment where students of all ages feel supported, respected, and encouraged to grow — mentally, physically, and emotionally.
We stand for discipline as a way of life, for real-world self-defense that empowers, and for age-inclusive training that uplifts every individual. We stand against toxic egos, against bullying in all forms, and against one-size-fits-all instruction. At Chozen, everyone is treated like family and every student is recognized for their uniqueness and potential. Our mission is clear: to raise up strong, kind, and confident people through the power of martial arts. As we say around here —
"A black belt is just a white belt who chose to believe in themselves every single day."

"Real strength isn’t about how hard you hit — it’s about how consistently you rise, train, and lead with purpose."
Rooted in Respect, Powered by Purpose
At Chozen Martial Arts Academy, respect is the foundation of everything we do — from bowing before class to supporting each other in every drill. We believe that true martial artists lead with humility, listen with intent, and serve with strength. Our instructors model this behavior daily, ensuring that every student learns to carry themselves with honor both inside and outside the dojo. Purpose drives our curriculum, our community outreach, and our commitment to developing leaders of all ages.
Training the Whole Person, Not Just the Fighter
We don’t just teach self-defense — we develop self-worth, emotional control, and mental toughness. Each class is designed to push students past their comfort zones while offering a safe space to grow, fail, and try again. By focusing on mindset just as much as technique, Chozen creates martial artists who are strong in character as well as in combat. It’s not about creating fighters — it’s about cultivating confident, capable human beings who rise in every area of life.
