The Society of the Arts opened in Wheeling, WV on February 1, 1980 and was founded by Leonard Rycerz Jr. and Frankie Miller. Frankie Miller coined the phrase, “Society of the Arts.” “Martial Arts and Survival Club was later added by Leonard Rycerz Jr. who developed the school from the ground up.
Originally the school started out as a martial arts club. In the early days, the club was not opened to the general public and attendance was by invitation only. This brought together a tough group of individuals who took their training very seriously and brought together many styles of martial arts. This piece of the schools history, along with Leonard’s large amount of martial arts knowledge and experience, is what allowed the club to developed the well-rounded system of martial arts that is taught today.
By the Mid 1980’s, the school had fully opened its doors to the public and integrated itself into the community.
As a long Term dedicated student of th Society of the Arts Terry Burnsworth has made it his goal to bring the schools tradition of dedication to hard work and progressive reality based martial arts training to the Beaver County area and help grow our small network of SOTA schools.
The Newbrighton location held its first class on March 7, 2011.
