Class Structure & Focus

A complete overview of how instruction is conducted.

Currently, we only offer lessons via private instruction.

But qualifying is easy, simply call or e-mail to find out if you are eligible to begin your training.

Classes:

The Black Belt Class

The Black Belt Class teaches all the required forms, movements and techniques, that students must learn in order to progress through the various belt levels. These levels are designated by color— white, yellow, blue, red, brown, and  black. Students are tested at each level to ensure they have adequately learned all techniques required to achieve Black Belt status.

Youth Classes

Youth Classes are exciting lessons designed for the unique needs of our younger martial art students. Ample attention is given each student based on their abilities, needs, and learning levels. Tremendous emphasis is placed on respect, dedication, hard work, and having fun while learning. Each lesson reinforces respect for one’s family, school, and country, as well as for martial arts. Safety, a priority when teaching anyone, becomes a primary concern when teaching youngsters.

JTMS of North Houston offers Private Instruction for youth or adults who want an individualized program. Private instruction may be appropriate when a student doesn't feel comfortable in a regular class or has physical limitations that may require special attention or modification of the movements. Most students who take private lessons are seeking direct, one-on-one instruction that provides more interaction with the teacher. Private lessons are usually more intense and faster-paced, and enable students to achieve more refined techniques.

Self-Defense Classes

Self-defense classes focus on helping students learn to identify threatening situations and to develop the necessary skills to protect themselves from a physical attack. The training is also designed to help instill self-confidence, self-discipline, and the calm self-assurance that in a dangerous situation, you can often do more than you think you can.


Do I have to be in shape to join a martial arts program?

Absolutely not. Martial arts is one of the best ways to get into shape. Don't wait, act now!

Will I have to do jumping kicks?

No. Everyone is encouraged to undertake the training as their own journey of self improvement and not compare themselves to others. The great thing about our curriculum is that we condition the body during the first 6 months to enable you to reach higher levels of training. However, if you never do a jump kick, that doesn’t hinder your progress or subtract any benefits and values that you receive from your training.

I see that you do meditation, does this involve any religious connotations?

No. The meditation is simply a deeper form of concentration incorporating lower abdominal breathing exercises.

A GOOD VALUE FOR THE SERVICE YOU RECEIVE. Unfortunately, the general public doesn’t know one martial art from another. The important thing is to visit and try out the different schools you are interested in before making the decision to sign up. Similar to buying a car, you wouldn't just call and purchase the lowest priced vehicle you could find, you’d want to see it first and take it for a test drive.
