Soon after Joe and Gaylene Turner got married in 2000, Joe suggested that he and the couple’s three boys take up martial arts as a bonding experience for the newly blended family.
It did not take long for them to become passionate about the challenging nature and fitness benefits of martial arts.
The idea of taking their hobby to the next level did not hit Joe until he was sitting in an airport waiting to catch a flight to another business meeting. Traveling was a major part of his duties as an executive for a global technology firm.
“I was ready to make a change,” said Joe, a martial arts master. “I wanted to open a martial arts studio. The family was all in.”
