Justin Hagen

Justin Hagen is a Japanese ukiyo-e–inspired woodburn artist, martial artist, and educator whose work bridges the worlds of visual art, martial tradition, and classical literature. A lifelong martial arts practitioner since 1994, he is currently a martial arts instructor as well as an educator within the Pennsylvania public school system.

Hagen earned his Bachelor’s degree in History with a minor in Philosophy from the University of Rhode Island in 2011, with a focused emphasis on East Asian studies and religious traditions. He continued his academic pursuits at DeSales University, where he received a Master’s degree in Education in 2018. His graduate thesis examined the impact of martial arts programs on student behavior within educational environments, reflecting his ongoing interest in discipline, ethics, and personal development.

As an instructor, he teaches Kyokushin Karate, Taekwondo, and Kickboxing in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. His deep engagement with martial arts naturally led him to explore related creative disciplines, including Japanese-inspired visual art, poetry, and long-form narrative writing. Justin Hagen has contributed articles to Black Belt Magazine and has self-published several works on Amazon, including Shodai-Soke: 101 Quotes, Anecdotes & Precepts From the Founders of Modern Japanese Martial Arts and Intent: The Path of the Warrior.
