When Donnie and Celeena Bedore joined TX Black Belt Academy, the brand had one location and a struggling second. They bought that failing school, transformed it into the Fort Worth headquarters, and made it profitable within months. Building on that success, they developed a repeatable franchise model that fueled TXBBA’s statewide growth. Their results came not from luck or outside capital but “from relentless work, smart reinvestment, and a shared belief that martial arts changes lives.”
