Champions is the leader in martial arts instruction, boasting the best instructors in the area. Champions Instructors are trained and mentored by Sensei Nick Dougherty. Sensei Nick has the been the leader in the martial arts schools for the past 10 years since opening in Echo Plaza in 1998. Since then, Sensei Nick and his staff have been the pioneers of martial arts to the general public. They were the first to teach in the school system, put on public demonstrations, work with day care centers, sponsor soccer and baseball teams, perform at community events, performs at national events (LeBron James halftime show) , introduce the public to bully prevention, kidnapping prevention, life skills seminar’s and doing events that other schools have only tried to copy.
Champions is the most innovative martial arts school in the area. We are always updating curriculum, teaching methods, business practices, and implementing technological advances to help our schools. Champions students have free access to a virtual curriculum, so students are able to practice their material at home with parents. 

When looking or comparing a school, look at the staff. Champions staff members are required to go through a leadership program, customer service training, and most importantly must have a passion to teach martial arts. Champions only has certified instructors on the mat, and customer success coordinators behind the counter.  When walking in Champions there is a distinct feeling that other schools simply cannot match, it the Champions Factor. Everyone that walks through the door is made to feel special; our children’s instructors are the best.

Our Champions Kickboxing program is the best in the area. Our state of the art equipment and constant innovation with curriculum are some of the reasons Champions remains to be the best in the area. The other secret is our staff, and instructor training program. Sensei Nick has become a leader in the martial arts industry and is mentoring school owners all over the world. He also helps helps some of the biggest names in the UFC, including Matt Serrra, and brothers Keith and Kenny Florian.
Sensei Nick credits his staff, Master Farid Dordar, and Jon Malach, and the entire staff at Champions Way for Champions Success. If you would like to become Champions today it all starts with a location near you. Call today, and become a CHAMPION!
