James Boecker, a 4th degree black belt in Freestyle Martial Arts, has been passionate about martial arts since he was 10 yrs old. Mr. Boecker found his beginning in the practice of tae kwon do, receiving his black belt under Rick Lancaster. Furthermore, he has trained with some of the top masters in the world including Remy Presas, Wally Jay, Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie, and Helio Gracie, founder and grandmaster of BJJ.

He has led USA Martial Arts Leadership Academy as the pioneer of the modern day martial arts industry. He has enjoyed over 23 years as a martial arts teacher. He is a former top ranked competitor in fighting and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. When asked about his passion of martial arts, Mr. Boecker replied, “I fell in love with martial arts about 23 years ago. The love keeps getting stronger every day.

The only greater love I have over martial arts is the passion I’ve found in teaching and continuing the legacy through training my up and coming instructors and students, so I can pass my knowledge down to them.” As a multiple school owner he trains daily, oversees multiple locations and personally selects and trains his future instructors. The arts blended together are TKD, BJJ, wresting, judo, kali, kickboxing, and muay thai. Mr. Boecker is in much demand as a consultant and as a leader of continuing education in the martial arts business. He is the president of a consultant company called USA Martial Arts University.

Mr. Boecker resides in Dallas, TX and continues to share his love for martial arts in the business through training and the business side. He still continues to have a very active lifestyle and a positive impact in the lives of others. For 23 years USA Martial Arts Leadership Academy has been living with strength and unity of martial arts. It started off as a dream and began in a tiny 600 square foot room, which has currently manifested into spacious, clean, and modern facilities. Although small in size it did not take long to grow large in talent, skill, and spirit. Now he has over 5 locations across the metroplex representing the USA Martial Arts name.

As he continued to expand, his talents, his skills and titles grew along with his size of his team. In the early 1980s he realized his true passion was teaching and training and decided to retire from active competition and build a new breed of martial arts. He began by teaching multiple styles of martial arts, like Bruce Lee, blending the best strengths of each martial arts while studying and learning the psychology of excellence. The concept led into an entire lifestyle curriculum, and the innovative approach soon brought a lot of attention to our team in the martial arts industry. It gave instant recognition. Students were leaning more than kicking and punching and were becoming Martial Arts Leaders. Excellence and knowledge were what separated them. The program represents mind, body and spirit. Our mixed martial arts schools are 100% committed to teaching what is known as the ABC’s of a martial arts Leadership Academy and includes a dynamic curriculum of not only great martial arts, but also goal setting, leadership, self-discipline, and mutual respect in relationship building. More than 1000 students train daily at USA Martial Arts Leadership Academies across the metroplex and utilize the latest and most modern training methods. Our programs are recognized nationally as the leading edge in the development of peak performance. Our programs continue to receive national awards for the dynamic content.

Roman sees martial arts not only as a way to defend or protect oneself, but also as a path leading students to greater confidence and self-esteem. "As children learn and become proficient in new skills, they feel good about themselves. At the same time, martial arts teaches them to respect others, how to be a leader, and how to work as a team. The best part of my job is watching these young people as they develop both physically and emotionally learning values they will use for the rest of their lives," says Roman.
