Who we Are And why You Should Train Here

About Us

In January 2008, we enrolled our children in martial arts training out of sheer desperation to save our 8-year-old from the depression, anxiety, and loss of all self-esteem or purpose brought on by the trauma of childhood bullying & learning disabilities.  God graciously used that singular move to restore our son, completely shift the trajectory of our entire family, and give us the blessing of a ministry we never could have seen coming, in providing the same path to healing for other families!

Our mission is to provide an uplifting community where each student belongs and can safely develop the confidence, focus, discipline, respect & responsibility that comes through the empowerment of improving one’s overall health and learning the skills of self-defense

We invite you to Taylor’s Martial Arts Academy… and welcome you to the family!
