Maxey-Scarcello began her martial arts training as a child in NY. She began practicing again after the birth of her children and taught in the Rutland Area for 11 years.
After taking a year off, phone calls came in asking her to begin a class. Through word of mouth, message spread that she had a program and the students came through the door.
Initially only accepting children, the adults were training in the back of the kids classes. Seeing the need, the adult program was born.
Her first class included a student with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease) and another student that was on the Autism Spectrum.
In the years to follow, the need for special classes to serve students with more severe physical and cognitive difficulties was more apparent and more classes were added.
Maxey-Scarcello has been recognized as Female Black Belt of the Year and Instructor of the Year by the Eastern US Martial Arts Association.
