Head Coach Len Cook has always been passionate about the physical and mental benefits of martial arts. He met his wife, Cory, while attending a local fight to help students and teammates prepare for the competition. Cory developed a passion for fitness throughout their relationship. Passion and mission combined and in 2013, they turned their two-car garage into a gym to train clients and small groups. They dreamt bigger in 2016 and turned their passion into a full-blown business. Champion Striking and Fitness opened its doors to the public on August 29th of that year. Their bond and love as a family has been one of the primary reasons why Champion’s local community has expanded into a new, larger facility, with added programs and classes, a coaching staff, and opportunities to spread Champion's philosophy and training throughout the country.
