360 FMA
360 Family Martial Arts is owned and operated by 2nd Degree Black Belt Instructors Scott and Stacey Conder. As members of the AOKKA we offer training in Kenpo Karate, a system developed by Grand Master Ed Parker, founder of the IKKA. The American Kenpo system is largely characterized as a self defense system derived from traditional Japanese Karate and other martial arts such as Chinese Kung Fu and Jiu-Jitsu. The AOKKA is founded by 5th Degree Master James Pitts a student of American Kenpo and master of his style. Scott and Stacey earned their Black Belts through close personal training from Master Jim Pitts and are still training with him today.
Programs
360 FMA is a "Family Studio" offering training for a variety of age groups starting at age 4 through adult. Children's programs are structured to develop coordination, balance and focus while promoting discipline and self confidence. Youth classes offer a striped belt system and begin to teach the basics of self defense techniques while developing the core principals and values of the martial arts. Adult classes start at age 12 and provide a complete belt system including Kenpo basics, self defense techniques, forms and breaking. Youth and adult classes also have the opportunity to join competition and demonstration events sponsored by the AOKKA. We also have family packages that offer large discounts so the whole family can train together.
The Origin of "360"
So what does the 360 mean in our name? Ed Parker's system was developed with the understanding that motion is both multi-dimensional and multi-directional. In an effort to understand movement more thoroughly he designed the universal pattern to help students understand the interrelationship of linear and circular movement and the paths which they follow. It is this basic principal of movement that shapes our awareness of attacks. This 360 degree awareness is the core of our name and our crest.
Benefits of Martial Arts Training
Training in the martial arts offers so much more than self defense. Students of the martial arts learn the basic principles of respect, self confidence, honor and character. Students are taught to display good judgement and character in all situations life offers. We encourage our students to excel to the best of their abilities in school, family and life. We promote a positive attitude for oneself and to others. Recently it was noted that a small karate school in Oklahoma was able to effectively train students with ADD and ADHD helping them to achieve better grades in school and a more positive self image, proving that karate offers so much more than just self defense. We welcome you to visit us today to discover what martial arts training can do for your family.
