Aspire...

"To Strive Toward A Goal."

 

Aspire was founded after years of study, training, competing, fighting, teaching, experimental programs and loads of sweat. Aspire Martial Arts & Fitness offers the "ultimate in traditional, progressive martial arts and fitness".  This means you will receive the best of traditional martial arts training, discipline, structure and hardcore training along with up to date progressive techniques that have been tested and proven in the street, cage and the ring.  Traditional Taekwondo, Hapkido and Judo are the core structure of Aspire.  Master Brown has also developed a mixed martial art system that has grown from years of no holds barred fighting (before it became a sport).  The Brown fighting system stems from a combat fighting system that was developed for the elite Korean military.  Master Brown believed this system was too robotic in nature for full, free flowing, adrenaline dumping fighting.  The Brown Fighting System integrates the use of all three styles from Aspire as well as submission grappling, and wrestling. The goal of the Brown Fighting System is to end any confrontation, sport or the real thing, in under 15 seconds.  Yes this takes a lot of training.  Hard Training.  Many martial artists, mixed fighters, military personnel and law enforcement officials have found the training at Aspire is what they need and desire. Traditional arts are the root and must have their place in all fighting styles.  The future of the arts rely on the dedication of today's masters to further their knowledge and put themselves on the line to progress themselves as well as the arts and the next generation of great martial artists.  Master Brown has received numerous citations of merit and appreciation for his extensive contributions to the martial arts. As well as training for over 33 years and teaching for over 24 years in the martial arts, Master Brown has also been a personal trainer for over 20 years.  He has developed personal training programs for hundreds of children, men, women, small group, competitive teams, the elderly, and many challenged clients.
 
Master Brown began his training in the martial arts at the age of six. Pursuing the arts with a love for competition, and perfection. Being the smallest kid in the neighborhood, as well as from a single parent household... things sometimes got rough as a kid. Master Brown desperately needed discipline, perseverance, and self control - which martial arts is an answer to.
The martial arts would become Master Brown's world. Training daily from the age of six, Master Brown has attained a level of mastery and physical prowess not many can match. Master Brown trained with the late Won Suk Kim for nearly 20 years.  He also had the privilege of training with Wey Seng Kim, known for his legendary status in Judo.  Master Brown had the honor of training with the Korean Tiger Team, performed with the United States Masters Demo Team for several years, trained and performed with his own tournament and demo team, and taught a good population of the greater K.C. area. Many current and former students have gone on to win national, international, and world titles.  Master Brown also trains some of the premier MMA fighters in the area.  Master Brown has trained DEA, FBI, Military and Law enforcement personnel with great success in control tactics and teaching team take downs and weapon disarming.  Master Brown was also an instructor for many YMCA's in the area as well as Park College and Pembroke Hill Junior High and High school. Training and teaching daily - Master Brown still strives for excellence, remaining the eternal student - reaching for perfection and believing in the right. He knows that attaining the rank of Master in 2 arts does not indicate he is finished - only that the journey has really begun.
