South Prospect is owned by Ben Petit, technically, but split spiritually and emotionally by many- Those who just stay for a small time, those who go great lengths further than what they expected, and those who stay training here until they retire.

It's one of the only traditional martial arts schools left in Ohio. The school has very a detailed requirement documents for every belt that must be met prior to being allowed to test.

Every test requires that you demonstrate proficiency in all prior techniques including the techniques for the belt you are testing for. A Black Belt from this school is someone who understands that it is training and practice that makes a Black Belt. Our Black Belts are confident in their ability to protect and defend themselves and others. Instructors and students at this school train, work hard, and support each other with advice on how to improve your skills. I really enjoy training at this school.

His Martial Arts program is excellent as well and he will give you the tools you need to take care of yourself, man, woman, or child. So if your serious about staying fit, loosing weight, or learning Martial arts then there is no one else I would reccomend in the area.
