Marion Martial Arts Academy was founded by Grandmaster William Widmeyer and Chief Instructor Kevin Saucedo. Since opening the new location at 1316 W. 8th St. our facility has become the most popular and respected martial arts academy in Grant County.  Focusing on gaining support from local school districts, police, fire and EMT departments, as well as local organizations and civic groups has led Marion Martial Arts Academy to become a cornerstone in the community.  Students and enthusiasts of martial arts have many reasons for their interest in our dynamic programs for people of all ages.  Some students are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training.  Others seek to add discipline, stress relief, and self control to their lives.
