Ennis Black Belt Academy

Ennis Black Belt Academy Taekwondo, meaning "the way of the hand and foot," is a general term used to describe Korea's national sport. We train in traditional Korean forms.

We supplement these punches and kicks with self-defense techniques and overall endurance and flexibility training. Master instructor Jackie Self teaches all classes. Master Self started her martial arts training in 1976 under the instruction of Grandmaster Roy Kurban. As a competitor, she is a six-time winner of the coveted Eagle Award for high point in the Traditional Karate League. Her rank acco

mplishments include:
•5th Dan Korea Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Federation)
•5th Dan United States Grandmasters Society

Master Self began instructing students in a small studio in her home under the name, Ennis Karate Club. As her enrollment increased, she found the need for a larger, more formal dojang (studio). So began the Ennis Black Belt Academy. The EBBA is a 3800 sq ft. facility complete with a large, padded workout floor, separate lobby area with 2-way mirrors, retail area, and separate dressing rooms.

🥋Our buddy night was a success! We are so thankful to everyone who brought someone and participated

It always makes training more fun when you have someone you already know walking the journey with you AND they can keep you accountable for showing up and putting in the work 🤝

What an **AMAZING test!** 🥋👏

So few people who begin their martial arts journey make it to this level, and we are incredibly PROUD of every one of these students!

Each of these boys and girls faced their own challenges along the way, pushed through difficult moments, and continued showing up. The perseverance, discipline, and dedication they’ve developed will stay with them for years to come—both on and off the mats

Please help us give them a HUGE round of applause and congratulations for this incredible accomplishment! 🎉🥋👏

In times of joy, we celebrate together as a community. In times of grief, we must come together with that same strength to support those affected by tragedy.

Recently, one of our students suddenly lost her father. We are asking our EBBA community to surround her family with love and support during this incredibly difficult time and remind them that they are not alone—we all have their back.

🤼 **Ground Defense!**

Taekwondo is our primary style, but real-world self-defense can be unpredictable. You may need to defend yourself on your feet using strikes—or the situation could end up on the ground.

A well-rounded martial artist should be prepared for both!

Of course, our students also just love wrestling with each other—and judging by all the smiles, they had a great time practicing! 🥋💪

We love seeing all the new faces in our Intermediate Class! 🥋🔥

These boys and girls are showing what GRIT and PERSEVERANCE really look like. It is not always easy to stick with something, keep pushing through challenges, and continue showing up—but they are doing exactly that!

We are so proud of their hard work, determination, and growth. Keep it up, Intermediate Class! 💪👏
