I achieved my Black Belt in 1986 and I have trained thousands of students in my 27 years as a martial arts instructor. I teach my students that martial arts is not just a form of self-defense, but a way of living. We teach our students to respect themselves and others, to find strength in holding steadfast to one's values.

The challenges you overcome during training helps one to realize that we hold tremendous power within us both mentally and physically and that the choices we make can either create balance and harmony or cause chaos in our worlds. It is my belief that our society needs the balance that martial arts can instill into individuals, especially our children.

For more than 25 years Master Nixon and his team at Rowlett Martial Arts Center have made strengthening their students' mind, bodie, and spirit their lifes' work. Martial arts is much more than self-defense. Our student learn how to overcome challenges, build mental strength, perseverance, respect, discipline, fitness, and integrity.
Get 6 Full Weeks of Class, A Brand New Uniform & Belt To Enjoy The Benefits of Martial Arts. Kids start as early as age 5 and If you think you're too old think again. We work with our students at their fitness level and we don't push anyone to hurt themselves, martial arts is much more than what you see on TV.
I cannot say enough good things about Rowlett Martial Arts! Our daughter is in the after school program and we couldn't be happier with how Master Nixon runs his program. Master Nixon couldn't run his business as well as he does without his whole team of awesome instructors and staff at his side! When parents need to work, having safe reliable transportation is paramount.
There is no age limit, however you must inform the center of any health issues or limits you have before you begin the training. Master Nixon shall evaluate your knowledge base so he can properly place you in the class that will benefit you most. Taekwondo is a derivative of Japanese Shotokan Karate and is Korean based with an emphasis on dynamic, powerful kicks.

We took out 7 year old grandson here for Taekwondo. The instructors were great with the kids and it gave him some structure he really needed as well as boosted his self-esteem and helped develop his athletic abilities.

The owner and staff of Rowlett Martial Arts are truly a great team! We enrolled our first grader in the after school program and have been treated as family ever since! The program and classes are top notch and our daughter is learning a lot. Thank you Mrs. Donna and Master Nixon.

My son has been attending the Rowlett Martial Arts after school program for almost 4 years and he has loved every minute of it. In his time there, he has learned more than Taekwondo (he is a black belt now, by the way), he has learned hard work, respect, tenacity, determination among other life skills. Master Nixon is the most caring and skilled teacher that knows how to bring the best out in kids.
If you are looking for an after school activity for your kids, I will highly recommend Rowlett Martial Arts.

We have been members since 2017 and have only wonderful things to say about Master Nixon and the team at RMAC. We’ve been able to be a part of the TASMA program for about a year and it’s been such a blessing to help teach our young child, discipline, respect and self worth all while actively moving and staying in healthy shape! Our child has asked we not pick her up early from TASMA so that she can enjoy the company of her training mates and her instructors.

Rowlett Martial Arts Center has the best After School Program in the Rowlett and Garland area. They provide a positive atmosphere and support family strength. My son Sean Matheis trained from 1995-1999 and earned his Black Belt at 14 years old. Love the entire team at Rowlett Martial Arts Center!

My son has been attending RAMC for almost 3 years. It has given him confidence and building core values that help him be grounded and a well rounded individual. Master Nixon is amazing instructor, disciplined and patient. The staff has been amazing as well.

My daughter has been taking classes at Rowlett Martial Arts Center since she was 8 years old. She earned her black belt when she was 10, and is earning her second degree next June. Master Nixon as an amazing person and instructor. My daughter has learned so many life lessons from him. I would highly recommend Rowlett Martial Arts Center to adults and children alike.
