Episode 64. A Martial Arts Family, Business & Coaching
The conversation
About John Adamson.
John Adamson sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 64, “A Martial Arts Family, Business & Coaching”.
John and his wife, Heather, sat down together for this episode. John's family runs Adamson's Karate in Indiana, a business his parents started in 1970.
John grew up following his dad in martial arts. As they got older, he and his family took on more of a leadership role, and he runs one of the locations. He and Heather raised their own children in the dojo, and two of them now run locations with them.
John and Heather talk about keeping family first in a family business, and seeing former students come back and bring their own kids.
“they started the business in 1970”
