ABOUT OUR MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL
Chapman's Martial Art was founded in September of 2019. Our style is "The Way of the Perseverant and Tenacious Spirit" simply meaning no matter what, our students will never give up and never back down. Our system doesn't just train you in the martial art, it trains your mind, your body, and of course your spirit. The purpose of our programs is to help deal with the stresses of life and how to manage them. How to help improve your overall mental and physical health. How to have the willpower to keep trying until you make that success you are looking for become reality. Don't just feel like a champion, come and be one.

MEET OUR STAFF
Zeke Chapman
Owner and Head Instructor
Hi, I am the owner and head instructor of Chapman's Martial Art. I believe that martial arts is not just an art form, it is a lifestyle. I have trained in martial arts since I was 9 years old earning black belts in 4 different styles over the course of my career. Also throughout my career I earned a State Championship, Competed at a National level, and winning a World
Championship just this year. My instructor Glenn was more than just an instructor to me, he was a life mentor for me. I have vowed to be what he was to me for my students because everyone needs that one person in their life.
Instructor
Cubby Smith
My name is Albert Smith the third, but everyone just calls me Cub. Zeke and I trained together under our instructor Glenn Broadley. When he retired I initially stepped away and focused on my own thing while Zeke took over the school, but when he reached out saying that Brian was coming back to finish off his black belt I jumped right back in to help as he was a big part in our training under Glenn. He helped both of us earn our black belts it is only fair that I helped return the favor.
Brian Blencoe
Assistant Instructor
Hello there I am an assistant instructor for Chapman's Martial Art. I am a carefree and charismatic soul. I was on track to get a black belt training alongside Zeke and Cubby under our instructor a few years back but life had different plans that forced me medically to take a break for a bit on top of covid making it harder for me. Even when I was deathly sick I did what I could to maintain my material. Now I am back and aiming for that black belt yet again.
Chloe Nickerson
Assistant Instructor
Hi I am the youngest assistant instructor for Chapman's Martial Art. I am only 13 years old but you will not find anyone more passionate about what I do than me. I was the first ever student of Zeke and i'm still here years later. I have been told that out of everyone I have the most bubbly personality and I plan to keep it that way too. I have done a lot of different sports and hobbies trying to find what I like but nothing really stuck with me. This is the longest I have stuck with something and it is because I love what I am doing and the community is so amazing and supportive.
