International Martial Arts Association Houston

I.M.A Houston is a traditional martial arts school offering quality instruction in the art of Shotokan Karate-Do, related self defense by instructors who have trained with Sensei Patrick Richoux.  I.M.A Houston is part of the I.M.A Family, dedicated to teaching Shotokan Karate, a traditional Japanese Martial Art.

More Details
I.M.A Houston is offering classes to young children (from 3 years old) and adults of all abilities and levels, with no distinctions.
One master says: "Karate is based on attemps to avoid any trouble, so as not be hit by others and not to hit others".
Another says: "Harmoniously avoid trouble, and abhor violence. Otherwise, you will lose trust and will perish."
At the bottom of the soul of karate-do lies the wish for harmony among people. Such harmony is based on courtesy, and it is said that the Japanese Martial Ways begin with courtesy and end with courtesy.
Such is the case at
I.M.A Houston.
