Dan Atherton 3rd person from left in picture (tattoo on arm)

Mr. Atherton started karate when he was around 5 years of age. Due to what was available at the time, he studied several different systems including Tae Kwon Do, Bujinkan Martial arts, Kuk Sool Won 1st degree, Kuk Sool Hapkido rd Degree, Ryu Kyu Kempo 1st Degree, Mu Sool Won 3rd Degree, CKM and Filipino Martial arts.

Along with working as a bouncer, he has compiled a program that was taught at Illinois Central College which incorporated Filipino stick and knife, Kuk Sool Hapkido and Commando Krav Maga to help with anti rape and attack defense. Some of the students were military police officers, corrections officers and just regular people that lived in bad areas.

What makes Mr. Atherton have such a love for teaching is the bonds and friendships that are created, as well as knowing what he teaches enhances people's lives and works.

Yes sir, Yes Ma'am Attitude

Our students start learning the first day they walk into our school, learning not only ettiquette, but learning effective self defense and respect. We feel that a martial artist with out good ettiquette is a thug or a bully, we do not want this.

We strive for a "Yes sir, Yes Ma'am attitude".

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts programs

Does Martial Arts Training Ever Turn Kids Into Bullies?

Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Jarrell kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!

Should Parents Stay And Watch?

That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Jarrell martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.

Do I Need To Be Fit For This?

No way! Some folks come to us who have never exercised in their lives. Others have athlete-levels of fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts — everyone starts at the same place. And although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. There’s no ego here in our Jarrell kids and adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.

How Long Until I Get My Black Belt?

There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some folks have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness.

It’s not about getting to black belt, it’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out.

And our instructors here at Gtx Family Martial Arts Jarrell are committed to you every step.

What Do I Need To Bring To My First Martial Arts Lesson?

For your first martial arts class here at Gtx Family Martial Arts in Jarrell you’ll only need a few things: comfy clothes, a water bottle, and an open mind.

It’s perfectly natural to be nervous your first time too. Happens to everyone! As soon as you see how kind and welcoming our community here is, that will disappear.

I'm Not Very Sporty Or Coordinated, Will That Be A Problem?

Not at all! Jarrell men, women, and children of all fitness levels come to us, whether it’s for kids or adult martial arts. Come as you are!

Some of our top students were unfit and uncoordinated at first. Now they’re performing techniques they never dreamed possible. The confidence they gained realizing what they were capable of is the biggest gift of the process.

All you have to do is show up. We’ll take care of the rest.
