Company History

Satori Martial Arts and Healing Center of Whitehouse, Satori Martial Arts of Roswell and Satori International have a long history of involvement in instruction in the martial arts.

Satori Martial Arts of Whitehouse, under the direction of Renshi John Penn, had been in existence as a program for the Fort Meigs YMCA in Perrysburg, OH for over 10 years. During this time, Mr. Penn has diligently developed his skills in teaching and education while also developing himself in the arts he so loves with the culmination being the opening of this facility located in Whitehouse, Ohio.

For the next 5 years their programs continued to grow and expand and on Thanksgiving weekend of 2009, Satori Martial Arts and Wellness Center of Maumee found its new location - just past St Lukes Hospital off Monclova Rd. Their new location makes for a brand new layout offering an expanded menu of martial arts and wellness classes to the community as a whole.
