Fun Martial Arts Classes for People of All Ages in Angleton, TX
Stay physically active while building your self-confidence by joining our martial arts classes in Angleton, TX. We teach karate, kickboxing, and more.
What We Do
We are a Traditional martial arts school
Our school is located upstairs in the Education Annex Building of the Angleton First United Methodist Church.
What does that mean? It means that we take care of our students, students do not act up in class and if they do, they will be asked to leave until they can get themselves under control. Adults please leave your “ego” at the door. We are all students and are here to learn. We treat one another with the respect that each human being deserves. We are all “karate-ka.”
Class sizes are small by design. All classes are taught by Mr. Brock Brown BS MA from Ball State University and a 7th dan Master Instructor in the AMTA.
Feel free to call or text Mr. Brown at (317) 258-4201 or email him: brownbrock78@gmail.com for any further information.

What is Blue Dragon?
In Korean history…there was an ancient kingdom called Koguryo and during that time the tombs of kings and aristocrats were often decorated with murals on the inside walls. These murals are valuable evidence of the manners, customs and dress of Koguryo times. On the walls of the Twin Pillar Tomb and the Tomb of the Dancers there are mythical beasts representing each of the four geographical directions: the blue dragon of the east, the white tiger of the west, the red phoenix of the south and the tortoise and snake of the north.
CBBA Christian Black Belt Association
The Christian Black Belt Association was founded in 1970 by Soke Clement G. Riedner. It was the first branch of the organization to be developed. In 2002 the CBBAM—Christian Black Belt Association Ministries was created as the overall canopy for all the Kan/Organizational activities. It was Soke’s intention that he would use his experience in the martial arts as a means to reach others for Christ. Beyond this he envisioned the CBBA to be a service organization to other Christian Martial Artist’s.

It was Soke’s intention that he would use his experience in the martial arts as a means to reach others for Christ. Beyond this he envisioned the CBBA to be a service organization to other Christian Martial Artist’s. Other Christian martial arts groups had been in existence prior to the CBBA none of them had taken the role of serving the martial arts community the way the CBBA has. As the association has grown it has had to wear many different hats and continues to change as more needs and opportunities arise. Yet through all the changes the basic concepts of service and ministry have remained. In order to understand what is meant by a Christian association we must first agree on a definition of what is Christian. According to the CBBA Statement of Faith we believe that in order to be a Christian one must:
a) Admit their sin and acknowledge the need for salvation
b) Accept Christ as the slain and resurrected Son of God and the only means of the Holy Spirit
c) Experience change brought about by that salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
It is with this understanding that the CBBA seeks to win people to Christ and minister to those Christians in the Martial Arts. Some of the methods used in such outreach are demonstrations, education and supporting Missions. We serve our members through education promotions and providing fellowship and training opportunities.
As education plays a primary role in our ministry we have many sources available to our membership. Pamphlets, manuals and newsletters are published regularity. Clinics and conferences provide a chance for personal instruction. Our College and Chaplains association allow for more in depth training. It is an underlying principle of the CBBA that it is the duty of Christian leadership to train the body to do the work of the ministry. This is why we place such strong emphasis on education, above all we believe that it is our duty to help our instructors grow.
The Shiho Karano Kai International was founded in 1982 by Soke Riedner as an outgrowth of the CBBA to serve those martial artists who were not comfortable being affiliated with the CBBA. As the activities of the CBBA grew it became evident that there were many martial artists not affiliated with the CBBA who were still in need of the services provided by the CBBA such as networking, training, fellowship, and promotion.
Though the CBBA and SKKI act as separate organizations, they share most of their essential functions including an Annual Martial Arts Conference called “Koinonia” as well as the Korean Martial Arts Division. Though the SKKI does not act as a Christian ministry, it is still based on Christian principles and it is these principles that account for the high standards and service-oriented nature of the organization. Also, as the SKKI is a Kai and not a Ryu it contains practitioners from many different styles and is able therefore to offer instruction and ranking in these diverse systems. The diversity of the SKKI allows the opportunity to gather knowledge from a broad martial tradition and meet the needs of people far beyond the capability of a single Ryu.
The SKKI has now grown to such a level that it can provide services for other organizations and affiliate groups. As with the CBBA, the services of the SKKI are primarily designed for instructors and because of this our membership roll reflects only a small portion of the people under our sphere of influence. Our concern is not how big we get but how well we can serve our membership. This attitude acts as a catalyst for growth ultimately affecting both our size and scope of services.as an outgrowth of the CBBA to serve those martial artists who were not comfortable being affiliated with the CBBA.

Brown's Karate Studio Pricing
Student Tuition for 2023
There are no hidden fees, belt fees, testing fees beyond that…except when they get to Black Belt. Then and only then will there be a separate Black Belt Testing Fee.
$80
Monthly tuition will be $80 per month. At that time, Coach Brown will fit your child with the proper pants, club T-shirt, belt, gloves and foot pads. All of these are already included in your first month fees. For Master Brown to be successful in helping you instill the American work ethic in your child he has no time to be a fund collector every month.
How It Works: Brown’s Karate Studio is just like any other gym facility: you will pay by Credit Card or Paypal at the first of each month on a recurring billing cycle until you choose to discontinue studying martial arts at Brown’s Karate Studio. In this way Coach Brown can concentrate on teaching martial arts in the fun way that it should be taught…and not be a Bill Collector.
