Not Your Average Martial Arts Center

We wanted to learn all about Centerpoint Martial Arts and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Andy Mishkin.

The first question we had for Andy was what is it that sets Centerpoint Martial Arts apart from their competition in Maine. Here’s Andy’s response:

“Our focus is on serving our community and on contributing to make it a better place. We are supporting our families in their growth, and we want to have fun and make sure that people who come into our studio also have fun.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Centerpoint Martial Arts. Here’s what Andy had to say:

“My wife and I have an extensive background in martial arts and developing programs to help people. We wanted to do something that is really family-oriented. We knew from our own experience how transformational martial arts can be for young people.”

Building Success Through Quality Service

Andy attributes Centerpoint Martial Arts’ strong online reputation to the fact that their focus is on the quality of the service they provide. He added:

“We take our role in the community seriously and believe strongly in our purpose, which is to help people live extraordinary lives.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Centerpoint Martial Arts has gotten their name out there by being involved in their community and listening to their customers:

“We are currently serving on the board for the local chamber of commerce and trying to stay attuned to the business community. We do a lot of community-based marketing; we sponsor local sports teams and do fundraising for some local schools. One thing we do for marketing is just listening. We want feedback and want to hear about ways to improve.”

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Centerpoint Martial Arts has. Here’s Andy’s expert advice for them:

“My mentor, Brannon Beliso, said, ‘You have to start with your why.’ That ‘why’ should be a positive, strong message for people. You need to really work on your business fundamentals, which can be tough at first. Keep your ears open. Listen to what kids and parents are saying, and respond to that.”


Congratulations to the team at Centerpoint Martial Arts for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Andy, for taking the time to speak with us!
