What is your lineage (and history)?

The founder and CEO of our national franchise “Vortex Academy” is Kyoshi, Scott Maczuga. Kyoshi started his martial arts journey over 40 years ago. Rising in the rank through their systems and became one of the most proficient students in their respective styles of fighting. He holds 2nd degree black belts in Japanese systems of Koei Kan, Shotokan, and Ashihara Karate, as well as a 6th degree black belt in Martial Arts World (Korean TKD/Hapkido), as well as instructor certifications in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Krav Maga.

What does “Vortex” mean? Where does it come from?

In traditional Japanese karate, linear and angular movement was the only real strategy for years. Years later, in the 80’s, a style of karate utilizing “Sabaki” was created. Sabaki is the concept of blind-spot positioning and balance manipulation of an opponent through circular movement. you are pulling the opponent into a “vortex”, spinning around until you decide to reverse your momentum, creating a collision. Our English interpretation and translation of Sabaki is “Vortex”, which is where we derived our name from. Vortex is one of the only organizations teaching this in the United States.
