Master Bradley Lemley has trained in the martial arts for more than 30 years, beginning at age seven and never looking back. A lifelong student and teacher, he holds a 6th-degree black belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate and has earned three full-contact kickboxing titles (two New York State amateur and one New York State professional). He opened his first school at nineteen and has led thriving programs ever since—guiding his community through challenges from Superstorm Sandy to the COVID-19 pandemic with the same resilience he teaches on the mat. Bradley’s coaching philosophy is simple: the teacher’s first responsibility is the welfare and growth of the student. His classes emphasize safety, clear structure, and calm under pressure while building practical self-defense, fitness, and character. Beyond striking and grappling, he integrates breathwork and mindfulness informed by a dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practice (since 2012) and sustained study of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras with Sanskrit scholar Sudhir Heggadde (since 2017).
