Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tyler Larsen . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Tyler, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you recount a story of an unexpected problem you’ve faced along the way?
I think we can all agree that the pandemic hit us all out of nowhere. Being a gym owner and trying to stay open and not lose everything during the pandemic was an extremely hard time. We had to adapt with online classes and small group discussions but we made it work and we’re extremely blessed to have amazing students that stuck with us through that hard time. However I like to look at the positives and I feel like if the business can survive through those times we will become unstoppable in the future.
Tyler, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Tyler Larsen and I am an owner of Ethos Martial Arts in Queen Creek,AZ along with Wyatt Shepherd and David Hoopes. I have been training mixed martial arts for roughly 15 years. I got into martial arts as an angry young man that needed an outlet and a purpose in life. Martial arts gave me both along with discipline, which I desperately needed at the time. I have grown from a student to a teacher which allows me to share the knowledge that has made such a huge impact on my life. Ethos Martial Arts has been open for 5 years and is my daily passion is spreading my love for martial arts. I believe Ethos is the premier facility in the East Valley for mixed martial arts!
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
I believe our culture is what sets apart. We focus on our three principles which are loyalty, honor and integrity. We feel these are the most important values of a martial artist. Ethos caters to all, whether you would like to get in shape or compete.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
I believe that word of mouth has been our biggest source along with our social media presence. We highlight our classes on social media and really try to show what an amazing community we have at Ethos Martial Arts.
