Patriot Martial Arts | Self Defense

About Us:

The Patriot Martial Arts team prepares students to protect themselves and their loved ones. We want our kids to be bully proof and for all individuals to have self-awareness. Our classes are meant to teach practical self-defense for real world situations and training to fight for your life if needed. We offer different self-defense based systems to help students develop a variety of skills: Japanese Jiujitsu, Krav Maga, Filipino Martial Arts, and even our own Patriot Knife Fighting System.

Our credentials, experience, and family atmosphere sets Patriot Martial Arts apart from other martial arts schools in Universal City. We don’t stop at teaching self-defense and important life skills – we teach our students how to be the next generation of leaders. Students are able to join the Patriot Martial Arts instructor leadership program to learn management methods for school, work, and life in general.

History:

Owners Tom and Juanita Howanic started as martial arts instructors in Illinois when Tom’s parents moved to Universal City, Texas. As Tom and Juanita continued to visit them, they eventually recognized the need for martial arts in Universal City. They took matters into their own hands and opened Patriot Martial Arts on October 18, 2007. It was their chance to move on from their old academy, spread their own wings, and to start a new legacy. Today, their students motivate them to continue living out their dream. Tom and Juanita are inspired by their martial arts family and the lives they have changed so far on their journey.
