History: Impact Martial Arts - Little Rock, formerly known at Little Rock Martial Arts, is now under new ownership as of June 2010. Impact Martial Arts - Little Rock has transformed into a highly professional and well-maintained martial arts studio. The Academy has doubled in students since the transfer in ownership and has wonderful, new programs to challenge your children!
Aside from its powerful techniques, TaeKwonDo’s focus is primarily educational. At our Academy, your child will learn not only physical training and discipline but mental training and discipline as well, skills they need to be successful in school and in life.
Program Highlights: At the Academy, entire families can train together in a positive and friendly environment that’s safe and fun. Many who train with us say they’ve become more productive at work and have a feeling of increased overall wellness.
As part of our Elite Team and Masters Training Programs, students will be introduced to the Life Skills/Leadership Program™ and begin earning merit stars along with their rank stripes. The Merit Stars are awarded based on the students’ attitude, attendance and over-all improvement at home, school, and in their TaeKwon-Do training.
The Red Star will be awarded by the TaeKwon-Do Instructor for demonstrating that cycle’s life skill in the classroom.
The White Star will be awarded to the student upon parent’s completion of the White Star sheet, and in addition to demonstrating that cycle’s life skill, students are asked to practice qualities such as completing chores, showing respect to family members, and improving his or her attitude.
The Blue Star will be awarded to the student upon school teacher’s completion of the Blue Star sheet, and in addition to demonstrating that cycle’s life skill, students are asked to practice qualities such as focusing, improving grades and helping our classmates.
Parents love helping their children practice life skills at the Professional Black Belt Academy, home and school. Some Life Skills topics include:
Trustworthiness
Honesty
Respect
Citizenship
Manners & More!
Support Services: From the four-year-old child who develops self-confidence and self-esteem through training, to the 62-year-old student who gives hope and inspiration to us all, our studio is a great place to make friends and serves as a support system to our community and the families involved in our program.

based on each child’s individual pace. Classes become more challenging as each child

Forget the gym!
Unlike many other types of workouts or fitness programs, Professional Black Belt Academy’s martial arts training program combines fun, fitness, self-defense and results, without the boredom and lack of motivation that comes with a regular gym membership!
Results
- Muscular Development tones and builds muscle strength while improving your appearance.
- Cardiovascular Conditioning strengthens your heart and lungs while increasing your daily energy level and burning calories.
- Flexibility reduces the chance of injury and keeps you feeling young and agile.
- Stress Relief: When most Americans want to relieve tension they book a vacation. The problem is, relieving tension just once or twice a year is not enough. You need to release stress just as often as it is built up, which is constantly…every week. That’s why Professional Black Belt Academy is so popular with men and women who want to relieve stress from their daily lives. Our workout burns off excess energy, built-up tension and promotes a sense of calm. Each class becomes a “mini-vacation”. You leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and better able to deal with life’s daily challenges.
