Champions Martial Arts®
What Is Champions Martial Arts?
Champions Martial Arts is a franchise for operating Champions Martial Arts Centers that provide professional adult and youth Tae Kwon Do and other martial arts training programs. Centers operate from brick-and-mortar locations (typical centers are 800–5,000 square feet in freestanding, in-line, or strip mall locations) and offer memberships and pay-as-you-go services to the general public (B2C). The core service bundle includes Tae Kwon Do and other martial arts classes plus related programs such as after-school programs, summer programs, and birthday parties, delivered under the franchisor’s System and Marks.
Champions Martial Arts Franchise: Pros and Cons
A major strength is the franchise's spotless legal and regulatory record: zero disclosed lawsuits, zero franchisee-initiated judgments, zero franchisor enforcement actions, and no government penalties. A key risk is that the franchisor owns 40 company units (top 5% for children's services), which may indicate a focus on corporate expansion over franchised growth and could hurt unit availability and resale value.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
The franchise reported no material legal proceedings.
Territory Protection
Grants a protected operating area where the franchisor will not place other physical units; protection is contingent on meeting performance quotas, and the franchisor retains rights to develop units, sell via e-commerce and alternative channels, and operate under different trademarks; relocation and performance contingencies shape market density and site-specific rights.
Training & Support
The brand provides a focused 43-hour training curriculum designed to prepare three initial staff members for launch through centralized instruction and practical training. The program includes on-site launch support aimed at operational readiness, which may incur additional fees, and franchisees are responsible for travel and lodging expenses.
