“I cannot even begin to put together the words to describe this amazing honor,” said Grandmaster Dave Wheaton, founder and owner of Martial Arts Family Fitness. “It is always amazing to be recognized when you are doing good work, but it is that much more amazing when it is by your peers. Our staff, instructors and students are the ones deserving of this honor. Our success is their success.”
“The banquet, considered ‘The Academy Awards of the Martial Arts Industry’, was filled with thousands of martial artists, school owners, and celebrities,” added Melodee Meyer, co-owner of Martial Arts Family Fitness. “To be recognized for contributing to the martial arts was something I never dreamed of, especially in such company. This only inspires me to continue my work on wellness and nutrition within the martial arts industry.”
