About the Instructor

Master Hughes believes that martial arts are about more than kicks and punches. They're about building focus, discipline, respect, and self-awareness. Whether a student is a competitive athlete, a homeschooler seeking enrichment, a child with special needs, or an adult returning to fitness, he meets them where they are and guides them toward their own goals.

His class is structured but warm. He celebrates individual progress as much as competitive achievement.

"We feel like Master Hughes helped us raise our daughter through her teenage years. He was the exact fit for our family. My daughter went into her first class as an almost teenager with very little confidence in herself. Now at 20 she has thrived and become a very confident adult. He teaches by encouragement, not by pointing out flaws. It was the best decision we have ever made for lifelong lessons."
