Jones Family Black Belt Academy

A Local Martial Arts Studio

February 24, 2024

Macaroni KID Evansville recently welcomed Jones Family Black Belt Academy to our site! A locally owned martial arts studio, Derrick Jones has shown a dedication to teaching these skills to youth in our community. Here's some insight from Derrick:

"I remember when I was a child, feeling uncertain about beginning martial arts. I wondered if I had what it took to succeed and I wasn’t the most athletic or confident child - quite the opposite. Little did I know that beginning my martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of my life!

When I opened my school in 2020, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Evansville by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts."

Our programs have a strong focus on personal development. The foundations of our morals, values and core character traits are formed in our early years. For this reason, the programs at Jones Family Black Belt Academy LLC are an essential way to enhance the growth and personal development of young students of all ages. 

You may have experienced boredom with your usual fitness routine or reached a plateau in your performance or physical fitness results. Our adult programs are the perfect alternative to a boring gym routine, as they help you develop into your maximum potential both physically and mentally by providing real-life self-defense strategies in a fun, focused environment. 

Taekwondo is the style of martial arts practiced by Jones Family Black Belt Academy LLC students. We've joined the Global Traditional Martial Arts organization to provide a world-class curriculum built on five decades of traditional taekwondo and today’s martial arts systems. The journey from White Belt to Black Belt is one of incremental learning and skill development, that students of any age and fitness level can embark on.

One of the most fun parts of martial arts training is the ability to test your skills by competing in a tournament. Tournaments are not only fun for competitors, but they also become a great social experience for parents as well!

From sparring to forms to team demos, these awesome competitions are not only a place where our students can test their skills, but also a place where team spirit is built, fears are overcome, and character is developed. Most importantly, they are tons of fun!
