Our instructors provide expert lessons in traditional and modern martial-arts disciplines.

Our curriculum includes a combination of Korean Tang Soo Do, Japanese Jujitsu, Fillipino Arnis, as well as other fighting systems. Our training program is based upon the Tae Gun Do method. Tae Gun Do is not a martial arts style, but rather a martial arts philosophy who's name means "To Seek Simplicity." Following this philosophy, we study our various martial arts in an effort to find to simplest, most efficient means to acheive our self defense needs.

What we teach goes beyond lessons in physical self defense. By striving to attain higher levels of rank and ability, our students learn to set goals and work hard to achieve them. It is also important that students of martial arts have good ethical standards so that they do not misuse their fighting skills. This is especially true with children who must learn to resist the negative influences they face each day. At Ron Little Martial Arts we try to stress positive character development, as evidenced by our student creed:

  1. I will develop myself for success; mentally, physically, and spiritually by avoiding negative habits and attitudes.
  2. I will develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
  3. I will use my martial arts constructively and defensively; building a strong community through social harmony and only use might for right!!

A Little History

Ron Little Martial Arts first began teaching at Health Beat, a local fitness center, in 1991. We had a group of about ten people interested in an alternative fitness and exercise program that emphasized techniques which could be used as a means of practical self-defense. As interest grew, the studio moved to a separate location at 3900 Creighton Road. During its first year, it expanded to a satellite location at the Blue Angel Early Learning Center.

After only three years, over one hundred and fifty students were enrolled. Once again, in order to meet the growing needs of its students and community, Ron Little Martial Arts moved the studio on Creighton Road to a new location at the Tradewinds Shopping Center on Burgess Road.

Our school continued to grow and before long, the Burgess Road location simply could not contain our classes. Ron Little Martial Arts moved once again, into its present location on Palafox Street. The new school has over five thousand square feet of training area alone. In addition to that there are office space for Master Little, an office for the Leadership Team, a weight room, and a pro-shop.

Ron Little Martial Arts continues to grow. We kicked off cardio-karate and kickboxing programs in 1998. Our Blue Angel Parkway school continues to prosper. Another big event occured when we recently formed partnerships with a number of other local martial arts schools to found the American Martial Arts Association.


Our students train hard to prepare for real life self-defense situations.
