Not Your Average Martial Arts Academy

We were excited to learn all about Team Randori Martial Arts Annapolis and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Alfred Hogan.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Team Randori Martial Arts Annapolis stand apart from its competitors. Alfred told us:

“First of all, we try to build the gym on three basic pillars: we want it to be affordable; we want it to be safe, and we want them to receive the best level of instruction possible. We work with all demographics, and we want to be able to make it work for anybody willing to put in the work.”

Alfred went on to tell us a bit about their mission and goals at Team Randori Martial Arts Annapolis. He said:

“My goal is to increase awareness of the sport of martial arts, and in doing so, the by-product is to enhance the person’s character by giving them confidence, discipline, a sense of self-worth, and to shape and form them into a positive and contributing member of society. We’re trying to build leaders; that’s the goal, especially with the kids. We are building them to be the leaders of tomorrow. People today aren’t put in difficult positions, and they lose the ability to systematically solve problems and use techniques, logic, and problem-solving skills while in the face of a difficult situation.”

Team Randori Martial Arts Annapolis offers kids’ classes for ages three to six and six to sixteen. They offer adult classes, as well.

Building Success By Treating People Right

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Team Randori Martial Arts Annapolis has spread the word about who they are and what they do, mostly through word of mouth. Alfred said that they have been able to succeed because of their commitment to treating people right.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Team Randori Martial Arts Annapolis has managed to. We asked if Alfred could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Just be honest. My advice is that it’s not a money job; it’s a marathon. If you have customers and you treat them right, you are going to be successful.”

Good luck to Alfred and one other coach, who are competing in the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Las Vegas!


Congratulations to Team Randori Martial Arts Annapolis for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Alfred for taking the time to speak with us!
