How It Works
Join our martial arts community with these simple steps.
Step 1
Contact Us
Reach out to us via phone, email or stop by to watch or participate in our class.
Ph.# 281/236-5676.
Address 4963 Louetta Rd. Spring TX 77429
Step 2
Schedule a Trial
We suggest trying one of our FREE child, teenage, or adult trial classes. This allows you to see if our classes are right for you, and if you're a good fit for our courses.
Step 3
Attend Orientation
Our orientations are jumping into the pool. We'll make sure you don't sink. We've never had a drop in that didn't have a great time training. We allow 1 trial per class, unless it's a family membership, so all of our attention can be on our new student.
Step 4
Choose Your Style
9th Degree Master, Curt Doyle, and his son Jonathan, along with black belt instructors, Rick Edwards and his daughter Juliana, David Lewis and his daughter Sophia, Tim Star, and Jeffrey English, have black belt or instructor certifications in 11 systems of combat/self defense.
Seito Ryu...Okinawan Karate.
Filipino Kali/Escrima/Arnis.
Muay Thai Kickboxing.
French Savate.
Tae Kwon Do.
Indonesian Silat.
Japanese Ju Jitsu.
Combat Sumission Wrestling.
Tai Chi.
5 Animal Styles of Kung Fu.
Wing Chun Kung Fu.
Every martial art system has "holes" in it. Wrestling has horrible punching and kicking skills. Boxing doesn't deal with weapons. Karate trapping and almost non existant.
At 17 years old, Master Doyle...a 2nd degree black belt at the time...was attacked in Memphis TN on Beale St. Although an experiensed martial artist having been training for a decade at the time, he was beaten by 3 men with a knife.
"While on the ground being kicked in the head, throat, and body, I realized I had absolutely no practical ground fighting skills. I was almost killed" as you hear him tell it.
These 11 systems fill the "holes" that each of the other systems have and help to give each student a well rounded, overall, personal system of self protection.
Each student trains in each system, although most will gravitate toward one style more so than another.
