At PTX Martial Arts, we believe the dojo is more than a place to learn kicks and punches. It's a sanctuary of growth — a space where children discover who they are truly capable of becoming.
Rooted in the timeless values of martial arts — discipline, respect, perseverance — our programs are designed to develop not just skilled martial artists, but confident leaders who excel on and off the mat.
We specialize in families and beginners. No experience needed. Our instructors meet every student exactly where they are and guide them toward their personal best — one class at a time.
Start Your JourneyWith over 37 years of martial arts experience, Master James Hale is a 6th Degree Master, licensed instructor, and school owner trained extensively across traditional martial arts, combat systems, and self-defense. His passion is developing the next generation — teaching young students the discipline, focus, and life skills needed to reach their full potential.
Elana began training at age 10 in Kenpo Karate in the DFW metroplex. She holds a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo, a Black Belt in Krav Maga, and a Level 2 Kali Instructor certification. A 2015 Texas State Champion in Forms, Sparring & Combat Sparring — known for her ability to connect with students of all ages in a way that is both encouraging and challenging.
My son has attended for years, and the positive impact led our entire family to join through the family plan. The school is an outstanding environment for developing discipline, confidence, and mental strength. I trust Mr. Hale completely and strongly recommend this program.
I am an educator and a U.S. Army veteran, and I have trained under Mr. Hale since 2003. He is one of the most knowledgeable, thorough, and dedicated instructors I have known. I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality self-defense training.
I originally enrolled my son expecting a typical martial arts program, but what we found was something far greater — discipline, confidence, and exceptional instruction. We both committed to training, earned our black belts, and developed real-world self-defense skills that actually work under pressure. Even after training at multiple schools in Houston, I have yet to find anything comparable. I would train with Mr. Hale again without hesitation.
No commitment, no pressure — just one free lesson that could change your child's life.
