What Do New Students Have To Say About TXO Academy?
"I was a little nervous about trying martial arts for the first time. I'd never done anything like this before. It seemed a bit intimidating, but from the moment I sat down with Coach Dominick, I felt totally at ease, like I was part of their family. They really took the time to address all my concerns, and gave me an awesome introductory lesson. I was immediately hooked! I cannot wait to move up to the Intermediate Program!"

A Special Welcome From The Owner...

Hello. My name is Dominick Perez, and I am the owner, founder and chief instructor of TXO Academy. We are located in Pearland, Texas. At TXO Academy, we pride ourselves on teaching the highest quality martial arts, character development and moral integrity. We welcome children from the age of five years old, up to adults of any age.
AT TXO Academy, you will never feel intimidated or physically vulnerable. We do not tolerate nor welcome individuals with negative intentions. Our “ego-free” team atmosphere is contagious and one-of-a-kind – just ask any of our students or parents of the children who train with us.
Are you, your child, or someone you know being bullied at school, at work, or anywhere else? Our martial arts training helps people of all ages build the skills to handle bullies with confidence and respect. Children grow stronger in self-esteem and learn to carry themselves with confidence. Teens discover how to walk with authority, resist peer pressure, and stand tall against intimidation. Adults gain a renewed sense of self-assurance, learning how to be polite yet firm in challenging situations. In short, we help our students find their “inner voice” and the strength to stand up for themselves.
It does not matter if you are young or old, athletic or out-of-shape; you will immediately feel at home at TXO Academy. The bottom-line is, your dedication combined with our style and approach to the martial arts will transform your life, both on and off the mats.
