HOLIDAY 2014 - COVER FEATURE WAUKESHA MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Building a Community of Future Leaders OWNERS: John Matter and Reese Shanner OPENED: “We have been in business for 7 years.” INSPIRATION: “We were inspired to open WMMA because we wanted to have a positive impact in martial artists lives. We also wanted to create a place where professional fighters, casual trainers, and children alike would feel comfortable. We love to watch our competitive fighters succeed, however Reese and I love the Mini / Little Warriors kids classes. It’s awesome to watch the kids grow their skills in martial arts and to watch how their confidence sky rockets.” CUSTOMERS: “Our costumers are all shapes, sizes, skill levels, and ages. We have 4 year olds in our kids classes to 69 year old men in our Hapkido classes. WMMA will accommodate any age and skill level.” WHY SHOULD NEW CUSTOMERS CHOOSE WMMA: “New customers should discover us because we have a great location, classes that will accommodate any student, and our instructor staff is the best in the state.” PLANS FOR THE FUTURE: “We are always growing. We just opened a new gym because the old location was getting too small.” HOW DO YOU THINKLOCAL: “We are always thinking local. It’s our mission to provide the best martial arts and self defense instruction in Waukesha, and we truly believe we do. We are very active in the community and we are helping build tomorrows leaders.” NEW LOCATION! 1933 S WEST AVE • WAUKESHA 2 6 2- 5 1 3 - 9 9 2 4 · t r a i n a t w m m a . c o m We are a community focused facility for all ages and skill levels.
