Tupper Martial Arts Academy was established in 2007 by Sensei Anthony Tupper. Our program is designed to teach real world self-defense for a variety of scenarios. Our programs are designed for children (ages 4-12) and for teens and adults. Each class begins with a life lesson discussing the Bushido (Way of the Warrior) lifestyle and how to live as servant leaders with strong character in the commu
nity. Sensei Anthony Tupper began his martial arts journey in 1998, at 11 years old. He was experiencing trouble with bullies, focusing in school and lacking confidence. His mother enrolled him in Sensei Rick Short’s School of Martial Arts in Pearland; and they both saw immediate results. Over the next 20+ years, Anthony would train in a blend of martial arts that focused on Tae Kwon Do, and has concepts of Aikido, Jiu-Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, a Russian military hand to hand combat system and a variety of weapons. Anthony advances to Black Belt in 2003, and earned the rank of Master Level Martial Arts Instructor and 4th Degree Black Belt in 2011. In 2020, Sensei Anthony became an International Sports Sciences Association certified personal fitness trainer, and is continuing course work to become certified as a sports nutrition specialist. These certifications allow our program to expand to include personal fitness training, nutrition planning and incorporate a strong fitness and conditioning regimen into our martial arts curriculum.
