WELCOME!
We would like to introduce you to One Tree Martial Arts (OTMA). We are a very unique group of martial artists who believe that martial arts training should not be limited to just kicks and punches. We believe that we should be serving others and our community with the skills that we learn in the Dojo. Please allow us to tell you a little more about our unique school.

"When fear is removed
the arrogance of
uncertainty is dispelled.
Therefore it is no longer
necessary for one to
prove himself in any
form of combat.
By learning how to
fight, we learn
how not to fight.
"

OTMA's BEGINNING
One Tree Martial Arts began in 1999 when Master Buchholz began teaching several students privately at his home
in western Wisconsin. Master Buchholz was convinced that many in the Christian community, although they realized the many benefits of martial arts’ training, were reluctant to train because of the eastern religious philosophies that are stereotypically associated with most of the martial arts. It was after this realization that Master Buchholz committed himself to training his students quality martial arts with a strong foundation of Biblical Christian character training. As a result, One Tree Martial Arts was born. Since that time, hundreds of students have had martial arts’ “training from a Christian perspective”.

OTMA's MISSION
One Tree Martial Arts' mission is to make the martial arts not only spiritually safe for Christians and their families, but to make training in the martial arts spiritually profitable for them as well. This is accomplished by strengthening all aspects of Christian character and setting the goal of becoming a biblical servant to people and the community.

ONE TREE'S INSTRUCTORS
One Tree's instructors are all black belts who have not only shown proficiency in the martial arts but also in the ability to teach martial arts techniques and concepts. Our instructors are required to go through a rigorous instructor training phase including supervised teaching and team teaching. Every instructor at One Tree is also CPR and First Aid certified.

 

MASTER JEREMY BUCHHOLZ
Master Buchholz, our school's founder, was born and raised in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He has studied many martial arts beginning his training with the Korean arts of Taekwondo and Hapkido. He has also trained in the Northern Shaolin, Southern Hung Gar and Wing Chun Kungfu styles as well as Tai-Chi, Shuri-Ryu, Jui-Jitsu, Kobudo and others.

Master Buchholz has worked as a peace officer in Colorado and is currently an officer in Wisconsin. He studied police and military defensive tactics. On the street he has put these tactics along with his martial arts techniques to the test and found them to be very effective.

In the past Master Buchholz has also worked extensively with inner city youth and juvenile delinquents and their families in Wisconsin, Indiana and Colorado. He has received several awards for his work including recognition from the Honorable Judge Payne of the Marion County (Indianapolis) Juvenile Court System.

Master Buchholz also spent time in Moscow Russia working with youth as well as teachers, work for which he received three United States Congressional Records.

In 1998, Master Buchholz returned to Western Wisconsin and began One Tree Martial Arts, an organization dedicated to teaching Christian people martial arts and how to use their skills to minister to others.

Since that time One Tree Martial Arts (OTMA) has grown to become a major learning center for the martial arts with programs in the Korean, Japanese and Chinese arts.

Master Buchholz' philosophy of teaching is to exhaust his knowledge of martial arts to any student who has a desire to learn and to diligently apply him or herself to their study. He is dedicated to teaching these arts based on a strong foundation of positive character to ensure that the student will always use his or her skills in a proper way.

Master Buchholz encourages anyone who has even the slightest interest in any aspect of the martial arts to inquire about training at one of OTMA's schools. The rewards will always be greater than anticipated.

DO I NEED TO BE A CHRISTIAN TO TRAIN AT OTMA?
No you do not, however you do need to realize that OTMA is built upon principles and character taught in the Bible and that OTMA's instructors are Christians. We will reference and even have students memorize passages that speak to issues that a martial artist needs to understand.
