Meet the Business Owner: Robert B.
Mr. Bentley started training in martial arts in 1996 at the age of 10. He received his first degree black belt in 1998, and became an assistant instructor the following year. He became a certified instructor in 2006 and started managing schools in the Oklahoma City area. In 2010, he moved back to the Quincy area to pursue his dream of owning a martial arts studio. In January of 2011, he founded Legacy Martial Arts, and in 2014 he created the Legacy Instructor Training Program so his students could learn how to teach and eventually open their own schools as well. In 2016, Mr. Bentley set a goal to have more than a dozen certified instructors at the Legacy training facility in Quincy.
