Ellis County Martial Arts

Awesome. I decided do karate for having a relaxed mind, and especially self defence.

I feel a lot safer now. I have seen other karate places in this county and they either seem old or have really mean instructors.

However, this place has really nice people.
I would really recommend this because, well, it kinda looks like a dojo for our generation.
You can get a patch, uniform and belts. There are also cameras in the lobby to watch me and other kids.

Once you get into higher belts, you will be able to use alot more stuff such as staffs and you can even be a *Junior or adult * leader.

I would really recommend this place. And remember, use common sense before self defence.

My daughter has been attending Ellis County Martial Arts for about 6 months. Mr. Ray and his staff are professional and knowledgeable. Not only is my daughter learning a new skill but she is learning discipline while at the same time, having the most fun of any sport she has tried.

My son absolutely loves coming here and looks forward to class every week. I've been to other karate places in town and they were chaotic & unprofessional. This place is very different, I love that the kids are separated to help minimize distractions so they can learn. The parents are able to still watch and see everything from the cameras in the lobby.

I love bringing my son here. Sensei Ray is an amazing instructor he and his staff are very knowledgeable and professional. His facility is very clean and the overall environment is very pleasant. My son was nervous and shy at first but now his confidence has skyrocketed and he won’t miss a class. They instill lifelong skills that your child can take with them forever. The art of karate is also much more complex than I ever could’ve imagined but their teaching and explaining of everything is great that even my eight year old is thriving, Physically and mentally growing as well. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, it really shows. We will come as long as they are open!

My son has been going here for almost a year and my daughter has been going for about 3 months now. ECMA has been amazing for both of them in different ways. For my son it has helped him focus and start to develop healthy leadership skills and for my daughter it has given her more confidence in herself and her abilities. I love that the focus here is practical self-defense skills instead of competitions. The environment is conducive to learning and the assistant instructors are amazing with the children. Mr. Ray's thorough and common-sense approach to everything makes him easy for the kids to respect and learn from. I highly recommend ECMA.
