“When we decided to start a business we quickly gravitated to businesses focused on helping kids and their parents with confidence, safety, discipline, feeling good in their own skin. We are excited about bringing PMA’s unique program and mission to Austin’s growing population of families with children.” says PRO Martial Arts Austin owner Bruce Thompson.

Your coverage is welcome and we invite you to join us at the PRO Martial Arts grand opening event at 7318 McNeil Dr., STE 106, Austin, TX 78729 from (10am- 4:30pm).

PRO Martial Arts focuses on Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do and Hapkido forms of karate. The dojos bring a proven brand of martial arts and life skills instruction to area children, teens and adults. Founder Grandmaster Ed Samane designed the PRO Martial Arts curriculum on the belief that karate should teach not only self-defense, but also character by helping to improve overall attitude, self- worth, fitness, assertiveness, and self-awareness. Samane began his martial arts training at the age of 11, and in 1979 trained with Hapkido founder Supreme Grandmaster Ji han Jae. He has since placed in numerous Korean style championships.
