Agape Black Belt Center

Welcome!

This is Master Ra and I’m very PROUD that hundreds of families all over the Rochester area are singing the praises of our programs and telling their friends and neighbors how much of a positive impact it’s having on their lives.

Agape Black Belt Center has become a landmark of Rochester martial arts! Get started now and find out how you can be healthier, happier, and more confident with Agape Black Belt Center training!

Our members tell us that they feel our school is more of an institution of self-improvement, physically and mentally, rather than “just” a gym or some “activity”.

I pride myself on helping our adult members safely build muscle, quickly burn fat, gain flexibility, and release stress in a FUN, positive, and injury-free environment!

And for the children, parents all over the Rochester area give my martial arts classes credit for increasing their child’s ability to focus, building their self-esteem, and igniting a passion for self-improvement they never would have expected.

I sincerely look forward to meeting you, and helping you and your family accomplish your goals!

Sincerely,

Chief Master
John Ra
