I’m Chip Townsend, and I’m glad you’re here. On this site, you'll find opportunities to connect with me for business coaching, listen to my podcast, and explore my martial arts courses—each designed to inspire and empower you.

With over 37 years of martial arts experience and 28 years of running my own schools, I’ve poured my heart into developing curriculum systems that stand as a testament to world-class instruction. Today, I’m proud to own two thriving martial arts schools, four affiliate locations, and a reputation built on hard work, passion, and a commitment to excellence.

My journey began in 1995 when my wife and I were newlyweds

We invested our life savings—just shy of $1,000—into a 100-year-old building and a group of 57 students.

Fast forward to today, and we’ve grown to serve over 1,000 students across two corporate locations in small-town America, generating over $1 million in annual revenue.

Along the way, I’ve been blessed with opportunities to share my passion for martial arts on the world stage. I’ve earned 14 International Sport Karate Association (ISKA) world titles in breaking, set seven ISKA world records, and appeared on ESPN, Discovery Channel, and NBC’s America’s Got Talent. These experiences have allowed me to showcase what martial arts can truly offer and share its transformative power with people worldwide.
