Reputation

The choice to join LINXX Academy is a choice to join a distinguished, time-honored martial arts academy that is rich in tradition. From the day of its founding on March 16, 1992, LINXX Academy has grown in size and stature, but it remains committed to the task of providing students with the most practical and effective self defense skills, rooted in the principles of ethical-moral development.

The LINXX Academy is nationally recognized because of its distinguished reputation as a leading, progressive institution of martial arts instruction. Made legendary in books, magazines, newspaper articles, and TV specials produced over the years, the Academy's list of students include doctors, lawyers, actors, musicians, politicians, teachers, community leaders, corporate executives, law enforcement officials, and senior military officers.

Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the LINXX Academy continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically, and intellectually. Guided by its timeless motto, "Linking Practical Defense and Personal Development", the LINXX Academy is poised confidently to continue providing the Virginia Beach and Tidewater Area after nearly two decades of service.

MISSION STATEMENT

Personal Power

I want every student to gain self-confidence; to enjoy self-development; and to master self-protection.

Practical Protection

My approach to martial arts is entirely practical. Instead of teaching sport Karate, our techniques maximize effective self defense.

Pursuing Perfection

I want every instructor to be a friend, every parent to be proud, and every student to be a black belt.
