A Very Unique Place
Established in 1992 by Thomas Curtin, the Martial Arts Center for Health was born from a deeply personal journey. After suffering a severe back injury, Thomas not only faced physical challenges but also experienced the emotional and mental toll that often accompanies such struggles. His own healing process led him to understand the importance of a balanced approach—one that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit.
With this insight, Thomas created a unique atmosphere where individuals of all ages and abilities can feel safe, supported, and empowered. The Martial Arts Center for Health provides high-quality instruction that focuses not just on martial arts techniques but on holistic growth at every stage of life. We believe that everyone is capable of overcoming life’s challenges and finding peace and happiness within.
At the Martial Arts Center for Health, we are committed to serving humanity with love and respect, treating every member like family—with care, dignity, and trust. Whether you are looking to heal from an injury, build strength, or find mental clarity, we are here to guide you on your journey.

“Martial Arts Center for Health is not about tournaments & trophies.. It’s about each student intentionally challenging themselves yet listening to their bodies. We are all built differently and our body’s perform differently. This program is helping me to love, appreciate, push, and respect my body for all its own uniqueness. And I am so grateful to be a student of this amazing place!”
