Self Defense.    Family fun.    Health and Fitness.

Classes are at OLD SETTLER'S facility while Towne Lake being renovated!

Where: McKinney Old Settlers Park recreation center, 1201 E. Louisiana St.,      
About 1/4 mile east of Hwy 5, on Louisiana Street.
Phone 972-542-5014

When: Monday nights.
Beginners thru Orange Belts at 6:00-7:00 pm.
Green Belts and up at 7:00-8:00 pm.

Cost is $12.00 per class, or $45.00 for that calendar month.  You may pay at the Old Settlers center or online.

No uniform is required until the student tests for their first belt (yellow), although they may certainly get a uniform sooner if they like.
No special signup is required. We run classes all year long. If you have other sports that's fine. We have several students who disappear for baseball/cheerleading/whatever season, and come back when it's over.

Ages: "6 to 600". (I say "6" years old as a general guideline for parents. .I've had TWO 5-year olds in 20 years, who could keep up,
so that's why I tell parents 6+ years old).

There is no age "too old". If you are 106 and want to start now then you have a great attitude!  Our oldest student so far was 85!

Schedule: Every Monday night except for "Monday Holidays" ---MLK, Memorial Day, "Juneteenth", (July 4, if Monday), Labor Day--- when the recreation center is closed. They are OPEN Presidents' Day, and every other Monday holiday not listed above.  We have class every Monday they are open, with some exceptions around Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Those exceptions are announced in the weeks prior.

 

Private Lessons are available.
Students preparing for a belt exam or tournament--or just wanting some extra practice time--often ask about these.
Please contact the Instructor for details if you are interested.
