Located on Southwest Pkwy in College Station, students of all ages, from 4 years old to adult, cross-train or train Taekwondo, Modern Arnis, Judo, Aerobic Kickboxing, Kung Fu, Tai-Chi, Yoga and Modern Karate. We welcome all.

  • Taekwondo

Our Taekwondo Program is a truly well-rounded curriculum. Not only does one learn the hand and foot techniques, we safely train the takedown and ground fighting that has been lost in other styles of Taekwondo.

This incredible program for Tiny Tigers ages 4-6 to adult is developed from a blend of traditional Taekwondo to American Taekwondo. You are welcome to come by to watch or participate.

  • Modern Arins

Modern Arnis is a countering style using striking, locking and throwing techniques to counter an attack. We will teach you what to do whether you have a knife, one or two sticks, or your empty hand.

Dr. Michael Hume, a 3rd Degree Black in Modern Arnis and a 6th Degree Black in Taekwondo, teaches under the International Modern Arnis Federation (IMAF) which is led by members directly appointed by founder Grandmaster Remy Presas.

  • Aerobic Kickboxing

Sign-up and start burning over 600 calories a workout. Every class has an aerobic session, bag work, and toning. Classes are taught by our martial arts instructors who teach technique along with the great workout. This is a great stress reliever! We have evening classes five times a week.

  • Modern Karate

The purpose of Modern Karate is simple: to forge technical excellence while training the spirit to a positive end. Modern Karate has its roots in the traditions of Japanese and Okinawan karate-do, from Shotokan to more contemporary stand-up styles. Each class involves training in kihon, kata, and/or kumite, with strong emphasis on the body mechanics leading to stability, speed, and power. Please note that a belt ranking system will not be used in this class. Please wear karate pants and a school t-shirt. A list of required equipment can be obtained from the office manager or instructor.

  •  Kung Fu

Kung fu is a popular term that expresses Chinese martial arts in general. The term "kung fu" in Chinese alludes to any individual accomplishment or cultivated skill obtained by long and hard work. The origins of Kung Fu can be traced over 6,000 years ago to self-defense needs, hunting activities and military training in ancient China. Since then, Chinese martial arts proceeded to incorporate different philosophies and ideas into its practice expanding its purpose from self-defense to health maintenance and finally as a method of self-cultivation.

  • Judo

Judo is an incredible dynamic and combative sport that demands both physical and mental discipline. Judo means "gentle way" and originated in Japan in the late 19th century. It is a competitive sport that includes throwing the opponent to the ground, or subduing them by grappling. Students first learn the proper way to fall, ensuring safety during practice sessions.

Our Judo program is led by Bob Perez, 4th degree Black in Judo and coach of the Texas A&M Judo Club. Mr. Perez and his assistant instructors have been building an outstanding kids program for the past 6 years. Judo is a "must-try" martial art.
