Kyoshi Rick Hall, founder and Chief Master Instructor at Rick Hall’s Bushido Karate Academy began his life long quest for excellence in the Martial Arts at 10 years old. By the time he was eighteen he had the amazing opportunity of becoming the Sensei and owner/operator of his first dojo.

In his early years, he dedicated every waking moment to training, traveling, and competing. Always seeking to raise himself to the next level he started to seek out greater knowledge and skills to become more versatile of a Martial Artist, which led him to Master Phillip Koeppel who is one of the pioneers of Karate in the United States.

After years of intense training and guidance, Kyoshi Hall was the 12th person in the world to ever be awarded The Double-Bladed Axe Award.

As his skills started to expand, his talent and his reputation grew, as well as the size and strength of his student population. At that time he was beginning to realize his true passion and talent was teaching and training others. Instead of traveling as much as he was, he started to turn his attention to his team to start building a Black Belt Champion school.

Almost instantly, with the new intensity of his training and his true passion for teaching, students were enjoying the unbelievable benefits of the new format and were training with greater spirit, while gaining a much deeper level of personal growth and expertise.

As of recently Kyoshi Hall has taken himself and his team to the next level by joining an elite group of highly successful Martial Art school owners called Martial Arts University International, who dedicates itself to find ways to give more back to the students and making a World Class Martial Arts Team.
