Mr. Brown's Bio
Mr. Brown first started studying Shito Ryu karate at Hanover College in the fall of his sophomore year in 1974 with Mr. Darrell Gehr. He studied with Mr. Gehr for 9 months and was never offered the chance for promotion! We just worked on wazas, break falls and walking the floor. I did not really understand what I was doing.
That summer Mr. Brown transferred to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana and enrolled at Mr. David Foreman’s Karate Institute. While there for two years he progressed up through the rank of purple belt or 3rd kyu while studying with Mr. Foreman and Mr. Ronnie White.
How did you end up in Angleton, Texas?
Mr. Brown is also the owner and head trainer of Independent Performance Fitness LLC here in Angleton. Independent Performance Fitness is a personal one-to-one boutique training facility that specializes in functional fitness, strength, mobility and balance training for Baby Boomers and active age adults that want to stay vibrant and live their best lives!

Team Coach
Meet Mr. Lance Reece
Mr. Lance Reece helps me with many of our children’s classes. He and his son Landon have studied with me for two years now and he is a valuable asset to our school.
He has valuable knowledge of Ju Jitsu and weaponry and is climbing the ranks toward his Black Belt very quickly. When our school is open Mr. Reece is always there ready to learn!

Mission
Our purpose is to lift up, mentor, build and strengthen self-confidence in our youth and adults in our community to help them become the Leaders they were meant to be! We do this in a family friendly atmosphere leaving our ego’s at the door. We also provide Life Skills lessons as part of our Empower Kickboxing curriculum.
Our philosophy is that life is a gift and we should go out each day and make the very most of it! Our training emphasizes the traditional ‘hard work’ ethic that has made America great, along with TKD traditional values: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit and humility.
Set a Godly example for each other as we work-out together to strengthen our bodies, minds and spirits.
Martial arts training is a journey, not a destination. It is a long term commitment to one’s health, wellness and being. As Master Brown’s lifelong teacher Mr. Fred Walliser likes to say, “It is an art that lasts a lifetime!” Let us lift you up to new heights. Go where only eagles dare!
