THE FRANCHISOR

Pro Martial Arts Franchise Corporation is the franchisor, and is referred to in this Franchise
Disclosure Document as “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Pro Martial Arts.” “You” means the person who buys the
franchise and includes your owners and principals if you are a corporation or other business entity.

We are a Pennsylvania corporation formed on January 28, 2008, and do business under our
corporate name and the name “Pro Martial Arts.” We do not do business under any other name. We
maintain our principal business address at 630 Freedom Business Center Drive, 3rd Floor, King of
Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406. Since August of 2008, we have been offering franchises for the
establishment, development, and operation of a physical fitness business incorporating karate training and
self defense regimens under the “GRANDMASTER SAMANE'S PRO MARTIAL ARTS KARATE ®”
name and mark (each a “Studio”). We do not engage in any other line of business and have never offered
franchises in any other line of business.

THE FRANCHISED BUSINESS

Studios offer physical fitness and self-defense classes to children and adults in a safe, healthy,
and enjoyable environment. Classes focus not only on physical fitness, but also on developing
participants’ self-discipline, confidence and self-esteem using a mixture of Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do,
and Hapkido martial arts techniques. Each Studio operates according to our proprietary system, the
characteristics of which include: (a) GRANDMASTER SAMANE'S PRO MARTIAL ARTS® karate
training and self-defense regimens; (b) uniform specifications for furniture, fixtures and equipment; (c)
sales and marketing techniques; and (d) other procedures for the operation and management of a physical
fitness studio (the “System”). If you purchase an individual franchise, you will sign our Franchise
Agreement, which is attached to this Disclosure Document as Exhibit C.

All weapons are strictly prohibited in any Studio, except those authorized in writing by us. Those
authorized weapons will be incorporated into the martial arts training and all instructors must be approved
by us.

We identify the System by means of certain trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos,
emblems, and indicia of origin, including “GRANDMASTER SAMANE'S PRO MARTIAL ARTS
KARATE®” and design elements including the rhinoceros logo, and any other marks we may now or in
the future designate for use in connection with the system (the “Marks”). We will continue to develop,
use, and control the use of the Marks in order to identify for the public the source of products and services
marketed under the System, and to represent the System’s high standards of quality, appearance and
service.

In addition to our single unit franchise agreement, we offer discounts to franchisees who purchase
additional units from us, as described in Item 5. The option to purchase additional franchises with a
reduced franchise fee must be exercised when the first franchise is purchased.
