Meet your instructor, Sensei Dave Harris
Sensei Dave Harris is an award-winning instructor and, as his former students put it, a master instructor in the art of Kenpo Karate — a teacher who has trained thousands of students over the years, from their first white belt to black belt.
His approach is about function and practicality, not a “belt factory”. He develops each student based on their own abilities, and brings a sense of humor that makes the journey enjoyable for beginners and experienced students alike.
More about Mobile Martial Art“David taught me how to analyze a technique, and in his words, ‘Make it work.’”

Martial arts for a better world
Our mission is to elevate martial arts instruction beyond technique alone. We believe that martial arts, when taught well, develop healthy bodies, confident minds, strong character and responsible leaders.
We are committed to:
- Putting students first
- Teaching with integrity, excellence and compassion
- Serving as positive role models
- Using martial arts as true self-defense against violence, poor health, stress and negative attitudes
One student at a time, Mobile Martial Art strives to make the world a better place.
If you want to understand the truth in martial arts, to see any fight clearly, you must throw away the notion of styles or schools, prejudices, likes and dislikes, and so forth. Then, your mind will cease all conflict and come to rest. In this silence, you will see totally and freshly.

I’ve been training Martial Arts for 47 years, teaching for 35, and I have to say, David Harris was one of my earliest and most influential teachers. David taught me how to analyze a technique, and in his words, “Make it work.” His approach to self-defense is one of function and practicality, as is his method of teaching, developing each individual based on their abilities, maximizing their potential. He combines all that with a sense of humor that makes the journey a truly enjoyable and rewarding experience, where the beginner student develops confidence, and the experienced student enhances their skills. David Harris is truly a Master Instructor, and in a world of, “Fast Food, cookie cutter, ‘Belt Factory’” Martial Arts, schools, stands out as a teacher who’s lifelong passion is evident in every aspect of his teaching.
★★★★★
Dave Harris is an extraordinary teacher and life coach. He has the ability to communicate his skills and knowledge with students of all levels. He excels at instructing karate and the martial arts with genuine care and concern for each individual student. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.
