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.

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 8 years old earning black belts in 4 different styles, and winning multiple championships at many different levels from State titles to World titles over the course of my career. My instructor Sifu 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 one kind of person in their life.
Assistant Instructor
Casey Plourde
Hello there, I am one of the assistant instructors for Chapman's Martial Art. I am the type of person that loves competition. in the year 2023 I was undefeated in both State and New England brackets even picking up a World Championship myself towards the end of the year. I plan to challenge myself with even more competition this year, but also elevate and train those under me to do the same. Finding something I love to do has always been a challenge for me but competing and teaching are now some of my favorite things to do.
Brian Blencoe
Assistant Instructor
Sup, I'm an assistant instructor for Chapman's Martial Art. I am a pretty carefree, goofy, and charismatic soul that's guaranteed to make you smile and laugh. I was on track to get a black belt training alongside Zeke 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 just under new management lol.
Chloe Nickerson
Assistant Instructor
Hi, I am the youngest assistant instructor for Chapman's Martial Art. I am only 14 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.
