Join a Leader in the Rock Solid Health and Fitness Industry

In business since 1998, Pro Martial Arts is one of the most successful franchise operators of karate school businesses. We believe that the rapid growth in franchise ownership of our karate schools is an affirmation of confidence in our brand as well as the health and fitness industry. We welcome franchisees to join us in maintaining our leadership within the karate school and character-building niche of the health and fitness industry worldwide. We will continue to set the standard for karate training and character-building instruction in the USA and abroad in the ensuing months and years.

Why the Fitness Market?
A million people join some type of fitness club or facility each year, pushing membership to 41.3 million people nationwide and health/fitness gross revenue to $19 billion annually.* This number is likely to grow as more people commit to an active lifestyle, often spurred by the increasing number of corporate wellness programs and health insurance incentives.
