More than kicks and punches
Martial arts are unique disciplines that combine mental and physical fitness with self-mastery. At Mobile Martial Art, we are dedicated to helping our students reach their full potential in all areas of their lives.
Along with learning how to defend themselves, our students develop the life skills that empower them to become high achievers — by working on goal-setting, self-control and self-discipline.

Your instructor: Sensei Dave Harris
Every lesson is taught by award-winning instructor Sensei Dave Harris. His roots are in Kenpo Karate, and his former students describe him as a master instructor who has trained thousands of students over the years — and made the journey from white belt to black belt fun.
Dave teaches self-defense that is functional and practical. He develops each student based on their abilities, maximizing their potential, and he does it with a sense of humor. Beginners develop confidence; experienced students sharpen their skills.
“Dave Harris is an extraordinary teacher and life coach.”
— David Epstein
Our mission: martial arts for a better world
At Mobile Martial Art, we believe martial arts — when taught well — go far beyond punches and kicks. Proper training builds strong bodies, focused minds, confidence, respect and personal responsibility.
Our mission is to bring high-quality martial arts instruction directly to our communities while putting students first. We are committed to:
- Teaching practical self-defense and lifelong health
- Building confidence, discipline and self-respect
- Reducing stress and improving mental focus
- Modeling integrity, respect and leadership
We define true self-defense as more than protection from physical threats. It is also defending oneself against poor health, stress, negative attitudes and apathy. Through consistent, well-taught martial arts training, we help students protect their bodies, strengthen their minds and improve their lives.
One student at a time, Mobile Martial Art strives to make the world a better place.

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.
