Mr. Bjornebo

Mr. Bjornebo is a 3rd Degree Black Belt and the Program Director at Hoovers Martial Arts. He oversees all of the daily operations and program development for Chief Master Hoover as well as all membership, certification and rank requirements. In other words, he is the 'go to' guy for anything you need as a parent, student or instructor at Hoovers Martial Arts.
If you have a question, he has the answer!

Knowledge - applied!
Mr. Bjornebo is directly involved in the format and instruction of all classes taught at Hoovers Martial arts. He has been a nationally certified Instructor for 14 years and currently teaches students of every age and rank. He possesses an expert knowledge of every technique and training method we employ and knows how to help you develop a practical, working knowledge for yourself.

While that may describe his role at Hoovers Martial Arts on an official level, Mr. Bjornebo is really a developer of people. He closely monitors the development of each and every student and directs them toward the proper path when they're ready. Whether they realize it or not, all of our students heading toward advanced programs or becoming future instructors begin with an evaluation by Mr. Bjornebo. He has an eye for the right talent and the right attitude and knows how to help our students understand which one is most important!

He's Mr. B to us!
If you ask anyone who Mr. Rory Bjornebo is, you'll likely find a few that aren't sure and even some that have no idea. Mention Mr. B, on the other hand, and you won't find a parent or student who doesn't know him. And from the first day you meet him, he knows you too! He is a walking encyclopedia of our students, their achievements and how they're progressing.
If you ever need an honest, objective opinion on how you can improve as a student and achieve your goals, all you have to do is ask!

As Chief Master Hoover will tell you: "Many believe that in order to become a great human being and a great Martial Artist, you need great instruction. While true, that's really only half of the equation. You also need to be willing to be a great student and to do your best.". Mr. B embodies that in everything he does and encourages our students to represent themselves in that manner at all times.

The Man...
Mr. B certainly has an affinity for hard work and he can test your physical limits. "I have always been involved in athletics throughout my life and have gotten so much out of them that I would like to pass this on to as many young students as possible. I feel that athletics brought me confidence so that I could say no to other wrong things in my younger years.".

Mr. B is an avid hunter and family man in all things. He originally began martial arts as an activity he could do with his son, Charles. He has been working and training with Chief Master Hoover for 17 years.

He has been married to his wife Susan for 33 years. Rory and Susan have three children - Heather, Charles and Erik. He also has 2 Labs and 2 Pugs.

...The Legend!
We're 99% sure all of these things are true about Mr. B:
• He shows favortism to Purple Belts because of his love of the Minnesota Vikings.
• Mr. B can have Ninjas steal your ears if you do not keep your hands up!
• Before making his list, Santa Claus checks with Mr. B.
• Mr. B travels to Florida every winter to hunt a giant mouse.
• The missing ceiling tiles are a result of Mr. B jumping too high when he front kicks.
• Many believe the Yellow stipe is achieved by successfully learning the first half of the White Belt form. It is actually a reminder to bring Mr. B a Banana Cream Pie.
