When Chad Robichaux’s French-speaking grandparents wanted to find a hobby for their 5-year-old
grandson, they looked around their New Orleans area.

The family was known as small in stature but strong, lean and hard-working from years of fishing or
working in oil wells. So the grandparents thought they could try
something with Robichaux using his strength. Coincidentally, nearby, there was a small martial arts school.

Since, martial arts has never left his life – through the Marines, eight
tours in Afghanistan, moves to several states and the opening of his
own schools in Texas.
