About Us: Martial Arts Tempe
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Martial Arts Tempe (MAT) was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to online resource for all things martial arts in Tempe, Arizona. It started as a passion project by two long-time martial arts enthusiasts and practitioners who recognized a gap in the digital landscape—a lack of comprehensive and unbiased information specifically tailored to the vibrant martial arts community in Tempe.

Filling the Information Gap
The internet is a vast resource, but when it comes to local martial arts communities, there was a distinct lack of focused, high-quality content.
