Our Story Unfolds
Explore our milestones, growth, and memorable achievements throughout our journey.
Martial Arts America was founded over 30 years ago in Russellville, Arkansas by Master John Hubbard with a clear belief: every person has a purpose, and every journey reveals strength waiting to be developed. This is a place where people discover the best version of themselves. RMAA is the place where hidden confidence, discipline, and resilience are shaped into something meaningful that carries into every part of life.
From the very beginning, the academy stands for more than physical training. It stands for growth. Every class builds skill, but it also builds focus, character, and the mindset to keep going when things get hard. Students of all ages learn that progress comes through effort,
consistency, and the willingness to rise to a challenge.
Master John Hubbard brings world-class experience and decades of dedication to every aspect of the academy. His leadership shapes a culture of high standards, personal accountability, and genuine care for every student. Instructors are carefully developed and committed to guiding each individual with structure, encouragement, and purpose.
Here, goals are set. Milestones are reached. Success is earned and celebrated. Families grow stronger together, individuals gain confidence that shows up at school, at work, and at home, and experienced martial artists find training that challenges them to keep advancing.
Martial Arts America continues to stand as a place where discipline becomes confidence, effort becomes achievement, and training becomes a path to lifelong personal growth.
