The name Trinity is based upon the highest three. If you take all the Martial Arts in the world you can categorize them into three groups, Striking, Grappling, and Weapons. At Trinity Martial Arts the student will learn a foundation based belt ranking system that will progressively add more difficult techniques and mental requirements. The three styles the student will learn are Tae Kwon Do, Arnis, and Jiu Jitsu.
Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do comes from Korea. It is an ancient Martial Art which focuses on long, low stances and high kicks. The system is called Modern Chang Moo Kwan, (a clear path) an updated form of old Tae Kwon Do that can find its root before World War II; it has more hand techniques and longer lower stances then found in Tae Kwon Do today. Tae Kwon Do encorporates self-defense techniques by incorporating real life situations.
Arnis
Modern Arnis is an art from Grand Master Remy Presas a native Filipino who traveled around the Philippines and combined knowledge from all the islands the different styles of escrema, cane fighting, and at its highest levels short sword and knife fighting. This is a soft fluid art which is a great compliment to Tae Kwon Do, known as a hard and powerful art.
Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has become the fastest growing Martial Art thanks to the fighting shows on TV which is kind of ironic because the direct translation means the “soft art.” The fundamental belief of Jiu Jitsu is to win by not hurting your opponent with submissions. This art mostly focuses on how to protect yourself if you end up on the ground; this looks similar to wrestling but is much different.
Ever Expanding
The world of knowledge is ever expanding and so are we. Our goals are to stay up to date with the most current information of physical fitness science and mental development.
Thank you Grandmaster King & 8th Dan Mayberry for visiting our school and testing our newest ranks of advanced brown belt. Grandmaster King commented on how our great our students look at there forms.
Trinity Martial Arts Third Annual Christmas Party
Thank you to all that came out to celebrate the holidays with us. Even though it was just a third of the people who attended at our Halloween party it was good to have a more intimate setting. The food was enough for everyone to try everything and the demos looked great.
Congratulations to everyone who went and participated in the True Martial Arts Sparring Tournament. Thank you True Martial Arts for hosting a great event and giving our school a place to show all the hard work and dedication we put into martial arts

Trinity Martial Arts Third Annual Halloween Party!
It seems like every school event has less room. This is a great problem to have, as we know our school is becoming bigger and with each student also makes us stronger as a “Martial Arts Family.” Great food, great Martial Arts demos, Pinata full of candy? (how did that dental floss get in there?), and the best food at a pot luck. We would like to thank everyone who came out and put a lot of effort into making such wonderful pot luck dishes. Congratulations to Walden Family for taking first place in the potluck competition with Zombie Green Potato (BRAINS!!!) Salad. Congratulations to Andylyn for winning first in the costume contest. And thank you to everyone who came and made our party so much fun.
I met Chris at True Martial Arts over 15 years ago. In that time, thousands of students came and went. Chris is someone who really separated himself from the other faces in the crowd. I've seen talented martial artists. I've seen people willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to martial arts. I've seen people that could reach others through teaching martial arts. But I don't know if I've seen anyone quite like Chris that has excelled in all of those areas combined. Several years ago, Chris did a martial arts exhibition at my school that people still talk about. Chris and Tiffany are great people. I am very proud to be associated with them and I know they have what it takes to run a successful school and help improve people's lives through martial arts.
