Instructor/Owner Sifu Mark Goblowsky
Sifu Mark Goblowsky grew up in Northeast Ohio in a home filled with unpredictable violence. Living with this daily fear and uncertainty sparked an absolute hatred of violence and a need to remove it from his life.
As a child, he loved the Kung Fu television series and dreamed of being a peaceful warrior like he saw in the show. He thought it would allow him to control the situations around him and bring peace to his chaotic life.
After joining the Air Force, he got his chance at 26 years old to study Kung Fu while stationed in Korea. He loved Kung Fu and became a very dedicated student. When it was time for him to return to the United States, his instructor asked if he would open a school teaching his Korean style of Kung Fu. He agreed, and that's when AAMA was born.
When his son Josh was born, he soon developed a love of Kung Fu. As a toddler, he crawled across the mat to practice weapons, kicks, and punches.
In 2005, Josh was severely injured in a hit-and-run accident by two semi trucks, dramatically altering his life. At just 3 1/2 years old, Josh fought for his life but came out of the battle a very different child than the one who entered it. The one thing that didn't change was his love for Kung Fu. Together, Mark and Josh use Kung Fu to overcome the obstacles life puts in their way.
