in Houston, Texas, our martial arts training programs extend beyond the physical and improve you psychologically and spiritually as well. While our Karate and Kobudo programs are rich in tradition and history, our approach to training is supported by modern sports medicine principles, with an emphasis on performing techniques they way the body is designed rather than based on aesthetics and competitive appeal. Through proper instruction and training you can be rewarded with an extended quality of life well into advanced years.
Developing True Confidence requires a strong mind, strong heart and strong body
There are many reasons why someone chooses to train in the martial arts over other sports or physical activities. Besides the physical benefits, the martial arts are famous for improving other areas in our lives. To truly benefit from martial arts training, the student must develop a strong body, a knowledgeable mind and deep sense of integrity. This is our definition of true confidence which improves the student's ability to succeed both on the dojo floor and in life. However developing confidence and other life skills through martial arts training is not automtic. The training programs must be specifically designed to priovide a path that will help the student realize these assets.
