The 2012 Action Martial Arts Magazine’s 12th annual Hall of Honors, widely known as the “Academy Awards of the Martial Arts” marked another milestone in the professional development of the martial arts business.

Action Martial Arts Magazine honored Stephen Oliver and NAPMA with this special recognition for “Outstanding Contributions to the Martial Arts Business.” Even in the midst of this difficult recession, many NAPMA members have been breaking records for new enrollments, revenues and retention.

Stephen Oliver, Jeff Smith, Toby Milroy and Bob Dunne were featured guests during the full event and conducted a series of high level “workshops” for school owners who were interested in growing their schools this year.

“I’ve been around with the NAPMA people for the longest time and everyone has been very professional. The new Team Stephen Oliver has put together is amazing. Jeff Smith, Toby Milroy and Stephen Oliver are the like the martial arts business eat future in what you’re doing now. I’m blessed.
