Our Story
More than a martial arts school — we're a family on a mission to build confident, disciplined leaders.
The Cox Family: Master Kalob, Mrs. Charissa, Kyrene & Alannah
Meet Our Family
Master Kalob Cox & Family
6th Degree Black Belt · ATA Certified
Master Kalob Cox founded Cox Martial Arts in 2012 with a simple but powerful mission: help people and families lay a strong foundation to grow mentally, physically, and emotionally through martial arts and life skill training.
With over 15 years in the community, Master Cox has built more than a school — he's built a family. His personal journey through martial arts drives his passion for supporting students and families during their most challenging times, and celebrating their greatest victories.
The Cox family lives and breathes martial arts. Mrs. Charissa Cox, daughters Kyrene and Alannah — they're all on the mat, leading by example. Under their leadership, Cox Martial Arts has grown to three locations with over 40 certified Level 1 through Level 3 instructors — every single one developed from within the Cox Martial Arts system. We have more active Level 3 certified instructors, which takes over 300 teaching hours and a minimum of 2 years to earn, than any other martial arts school in Texas.
The Families We Serve
Growth Happens in the Hard Times
We're looking for families that want to grow and learn together — families who understand that you don't just give up on things when they become hard, sometimes boring, when you lose, or when you become uncomfortable.
Real growth and life skill development happens in the hard times. We desire to be there for your family in those moments — on and off the mat.
In today's world, everything teaches us to give up and move on — to not give activities or relationships the time to grow and see the full potential of what they can become. We believe the best things in life are built through patience, perseverance, and showing up — especially when it's not easy.
