Our Team

As a group, we are creative, committed, respectful, passionate and prolific.

What's in a name?

The name of our company holds special meaning to our founder Micah Martin who trained in the Hakkoryu School of Jujitsu.

As a company, we focus on our clients as we seek ways to meet, exceed, and even predict their needs. As craftsmen, we continually practice our craft and hone our skills.

In this sense, we share a particular kinship with the spirit of Hakkoryu, which in Japanese means “The Style of the 8th Light.”
