Moved around from family member to family member living in multiple cities & towns in PA. ","content_main":"<p>About owner and ongoing business philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>Never graduated HS &#038; was expelled from two different High Schools in the process. Once I turned 18 I was told I had to move out on my own with a 9th grade education. Opportunities were limited. <\/p>\n<p>I worked a few labor intensive jobs to get by &#038; just wanted to survive. During that time I enrolled in martial arts classes &#038; dove in head first. It was my outlet &#038; probably the thing that saved me from a downward spiral. <\/p>\n<p>After a period of working labor jobs, I realized that I could so much better than what I was doing &#038; decided to take my GED, &#038; go to college. <\/p>\n<p> While going to school I lived on loans &#038; the small amount I would make from teaching, but it was difficult.  After I graduated college, I got a good job but continued running things. Because I was ok financially, I never thought about the money and would teach for free. <\/p>\n<p>Once I stopped actively competing I was going to shut everything down. Many people wanted me to continue on as they would have no guidance to grow in the hobby\/sport. <\/p>\n<p>After much consideration I decided to continue on.  All that was asked was a good head on your shoulders &#038; dedication to put effort into it.  Fast forward a few years, I once again felt that it was time to move on, &#038; once again there was a large demographic asking for me to continue.  So I did just that, but in order to do so, we needed to move. <\/p>\n<p>In 2016 I converted to an LLC but was and am still determined to keep the costs low, only concerning myself with the bills.  To this day I have NEVER turned anyone away for lack of funds &#038; give as many opportunities for others to hone their skills &#038; perhaps use those skills to create a life for themselves down the road.  I have been through a lot, martial arts saved me and can help others. <\/p>\n<p>Our offerings:<br \/>\nMartial arts instruction in &#8212;<br \/>\n&#8211; Self defense<br \/>\n&#8211; Jiujitsu<br \/>\n&#8211; Kickboxing<br \/>\n&#8211; Boxing<br \/>\n&#8211; MMA<br \/>\n&#8211; Wrestling<br \/>\n&#8211; Professional and amateur Combat sports<\/p>\n","url":"https:\/\/bloommma.com","url_text":"bloommma.com","main_services":"Martial Arts Instruction, Self defense, Fitness classes, Professional and amateur combat sports coaching, Jiujitsu and submission wrestling","image_1":"https:\/\/diib.com\/featuredmembers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Logo-Bloomsburg-Martial-Arts-Academy.jpg","client_review":"","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 -
