The academy serves students ages 3 through adult and operates using proven curriculum, training systems, and operational processes.

LENDER REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR A QUALIFIED BUYER
Two SBA lenders have underwritten this business and approved it at the full asking price for a qualified buyer. The financial review, add-back schedule and 24-month projections are complete and available under NDA, so a prepared buyer is not starting the credit work from scratch.

2026 TRADING
Revenue is tracking at approximately $190,000 for the year. The school relocated in March 2026 to its current 1,500 square foot facility, which carried one-time moving costs and lowered base rent going forward. Full year figures and a normalized earnings schedule are available under NDA.

PROGRAMS INCLUDED IN THE SALE:

Martial arts for ages 3 through adult, ninja parkour, adult fitness and cardio kickboxing, the after-school program, and summer camp. Parent's Night Out and birthday party bookings are also included.

OFFERED AT $152,000 – COMPLETE BUSINESS:

Includes the martial arts school, active membership base, after-school program, summer camp operations, equipment and training materials, marketing assets, proven systems and curriculum, established community relationships, all associated systems and processes, the 14-passenger bus, and transition support from ownership. The bus is included at the full purchase price.

The business operates from a newer facility with affordable rent and a transferable lease, creating an attractive foundation for future growth.

Property Features and Assets:

Founded approximately five years ago, this martial arts studio was originally established under a franchise model before transitioning to independent ownership. The current owner took over the business after previously serving as program director and leveraged over 15 years of experience in fitness and wellness to successfully rebrand and reposition the company.

Following the transition, the owner implemented new programming, upgraded systems, and refreshed branding—transforming the studio into a profitable, well-structured operation. Programs are built around the studio’s core principles of Speed, Power, Agility, and Resilience, supported by established coaching systems that ensure consistency and professionalism.

Market Competition and Expansion:

While several martial arts schools operate in the area, this studio stands out through its unique combination of multi-program offerings and a highly structured, youth-focused approach. In addition to traditional martial arts, the business provides ninja parkour, tumbling, after-school care, and seasonal camps—creating a more comprehensive and engaging experience for families.

The studio utilizes a sports-style conditioning model built around its core principles of Speed, Power, Agility, and Resilience, setting it apart from more traditional, technique-only schools. Programs are professionally designed and consistently delivered through established coaching systems, ensuring quality, safety, and measurable student progression.

Its strong family-oriented culture, clean and organized facility, and emphasis on personal development have led to high customer satisfaction, retention, and referrals. Combined with diversified programming and a proven operating model, the business maintains a clear competitive advantage in a growing youth fitness and development market.

The business is well-positioned for continued expansion, driven by strong and increasing demand for martial arts, ninja parkour, tumbling, after-school care, and summer camp programs in the local market. Community outreach efforts, including fall festivals, school events, and promotional booths, have proven highly effective, generating significant lead volume (often 200+ leads from a single event).

Growth opportunities include scaling these high-performing marketing channels, increasing class capacity, and expanding program offerings across additional age groups. A new owner could also accelerate growth by enhancing digital marketing efforts, implementing structured membership packages, and further developing the after-school pickup program. One-on-one and small-group private training is the highest-margin service and the current schedule has open capacity for it.

The studio relocated in 2026 to a newer 1,500 sq ft facility on a five-year lease, lowering occupancy cost and providing a stable foundation for growth. With proven systems already in place, a buyer can step in and scale efficiently from day one.
