Welcome!

Welcome to Agape Black Belt Center

This is Master Ra and Mrs. Ra, and we are very proud that hundreds of families all over the Rochester area are singing the praises of our programs and sharing how much of a positive impact Agape Black Belt Center has had on their lives.

Agape Black Belt Center has become a true landmark of Rochester martial arts! We invite you to get started today and discover how you can become healthier, happier, and more confident through our training programs.

Our members tell us they feel our school is more than just a place to train — it’s an institution of self-improvement for the body, mind, and spirit.

We take great pride in helping our adult members safely build strength, burn fat, improve flexibility, and relieve stress in a fun, positive, and injury-free environment.

For children, parents across the Rochester area credit our martial arts and after-school programs for improving focus, building confidence, and inspiring a lifelong passion for personal growth and respect.

After the pandemic, we recognized an even greater need to help children strengthen their focus, social skills, and healthy habits. With over 50 years of experience developing and guiding students from all different backgrounds and ages — including lessons we’ve learned through our own personal growth — we are fully committed to continuing to share our lives and our calling to help each student develop discipline, confidence, and a positive attitude toward life.

We sincerely look forward to meeting you and helping your family accomplish your goals — in martial arts, academics, and beyond.

With respect and gratitude,

Chief Master John Ra & Mrs. Ra
