Adapt Martial Arts was designed for individuals with special needs, in which they were taught in a typical martial arts studio. This was a business plan for a new consultative business. Adapt Martial Arts was rooted in Ameri-Kan Karate, a special needs martial arts program housed in WorldClass American Karate. Students traveled for up to an hour and a half to attend weekly classes at the WorldClass American Karate. Many families were not able to participate in the program because it was too far away from them and asked for recommendations for other karate studios that would be willing to teach their child with special needs. Adapt Martial Arts presented a solution to that problem. The business model presented provided training for existing martial arts studios seeking to expand their services to include teaching martial arts to individuals with special needs. Adapt Martial Arts vaunted the unique perspective of an occupational therapist with vast martial arts experience.
