"Just last week, the Taekwondo school down the street on McQueen closed its doors leaving all of its students with contracts to pay for over the next several months. I was told that a few even had contacts of more than 2 years to pay for. Not so long ago, the Mixed martial arts school on Arizona Drive did the same to its students. That won't happen at the Arizona Hombu in Mesa", exclaimed Soke Hausel, I have 5 decades of martial arts experience vested in my lifetime and I have also been awarded three of the highest awards in martial arts, so I am not going to go away. Besides, anyone can check the Internet on my background and find that I have produced a long list of black belts and many positive students". "I don't make much money teaching martial arts, but it is a way of life - a way of life I will not walk away from".
When it comes to martial arts, many people think of karate. When it comes to martial arts at the University of Wyoming, many think of Hall of fame member Grandmaster Hausel, and now when people think of the traditional martial arts, many people in Mesa Arizona again think of Grandmaster Hausel.

Each week, Soke Hausel teaches several classes to adults and families at the Arizona Hombu located on Baseline Road on the border of Mesa and Gilbert.
