HOUSTON MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY
© Houston Martial Arts Academy 2023
The Houston Martial Arts Academy ("HMAA") specializes in real life self-
defense training. We are dedicated to developing our members'
confidence and ability to defend any type of attack at any range. We also
make sure to have fun while we are training so that we actually enjoy
practicing the techniques, drills and concepts from the martial arts we
offer.
Welcome
Our Three Core Concepts/Code of Ethics/Code of Conduct
Core Concepts
Self Defense - Physical self-defense is the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat
of violence. Such force can be either armed or unarmed. Mental self-defense is the ability to get
into the proper mindset for executing a physical self-defense technique. Verbal Self Defense is
defined as using one's words to prevent, de-escalate, or end an attempted assault.
Self Discovery - Self Discovery is the act or process of gaining knowledge or understanding of
your abilities, character, and feelings.Through concentration exercises and free flowing drills, it
allows the practitioner to learn to adapt under stress and discover spontaneous responses that
otherwise would be overlooked. This combined with set patterns of movements and striking
creates a balance atmosphere to learn and integrate intuition with willpower through intent.
Self Confidence - Self Confidence is a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment.
Confidence comes in many forms and can be translated to Life's everyday necessities. We help
build the practitioner's confidence levels by simple direct progressive drills that teach
competency and focus in a fun environment. Multiple partner exercises start off with compliant
partners to gradual resistance and then to free form sparring so the practitioner can assess
their own development and review where they would like to go.
Code of Ethics
- Skills aren’t enough it’s your attitude that makes the
difference.
- It is not the knowledge of the art but the doing of
the art that makes you truly a great practitioner.
Code of Conduct
- Honor, respect, ethics, loyalty, discipline, dedication, patience, and humility.
- Without honor, there is no art only pretending but boastful.
- In everything you do, think not highly of yourself but deeply of the world.
- Lead by example so others can follow. Self-control.
