Mr. Michael Wall always wanted to do martial arts, but coming from a small town in Iowa there weren’t too many dojo’s around. He finally got a chance to train while he was attending the University of Northern Iowa in 1972. After receiving his black belt in 1978 he came to Arizona to further his training under Mr. Trias. He opened up the Paradise Valley School of Karate shortly after. Mr. Wall has always been active in the tournament circuit. He holds both National and World titles.
