A healthy heart and mind are essentials for a good life. Having a mentally strong mind only comes into play when a person's physical state is in good condition.

They opened their first martial art school in 1998 and have taught thousands of kids and adults from all over the world. Master Richard Hoehn has been associated with the combat sports since his childhood and has trained and taught internationally. He is a National Champion in Tae Kwon Do in Sparring, Forms, AND Board Breaking and is the only American to complete the 100 Man Sparring and Grappling Challenge based on Mas Oyama's Kumite Challenge. Master Hoehn got his start in the martial arts from his father who owned his own school and received his training in Bangkok and Thailand, where martial arts is part of their tradition and culture. Sheila Rochefort-Hoehn has been practicing martial arts for over 30 years and has special training from Korea, Japan, and Israel. The main objective for the Hoehns was to create a school that taught martial arts as a means for others to experience personal growth and to gain inner peace. The Zen Life Center is truly a unique school with much more to offer than the average martial art school! Classes for ages 4 through 100!
