About PRO MARTIAL ARTS

Ed Samane is the founder of the Grandmaster Samane's Karate System, its methods and the Pro Martial Arts franchise program. He began this unique instructional program in 1980 with the belief that karate should teach not only self-defense, but also character by helping to improve overall attitude, self-worth, fitness, assertiveness, and self-awareness in both children and adults. Grandmaster Samane has developed systems and methods for establishing, operating, and promoting successful karate school businesses that provide instruction and training in martial arts techniques, physical fitness techniques, and character-building education. Grandmaster Samane recognized early on that the karate school business provided a niche within the fitness industry and was ripe for innovation. Backed by more than 18 years of industry and entrepreneurial experience, he developed a unique and innovative business model that shifts the paradigm of martial arts instruction and allows people to work in the enjoyable and fast-growing fitness industry as independent business owners. NO PREVIOUS KARATE TRAINING OR BUSINESS EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY TO QUALIFY FOR A PRO MARTIAL ARTS FRANCHISE.
