History

5Fold Martial Arts was founded in the summer of 2025 with a clear mission: to build a strong, positive martial arts culture in Granbury, Texas. For the Stevens family, martial arts is not a trend or a side business — it has been a lifelong commitment.

Before opening 5Fold Martial Arts, the Stevens family operated a successful martial arts school in another part of Texas for nearly two decades. During that time, Adam Stevens coached students of all ages, building lasting relationships through consistent training, mentorship, and personal growth.

One of Adam’s most meaningful experiences as an instructor was watching students he once taught as children return years later with families of their own, bringing their children to train. That sense of continuity, community, and long-term impact is the foundation Adam is carrying forward at 5Fold Martial Arts — creating a place where today’s students can grow into tomorrow’s leaders.

Tiny Ninjas Program (Ages 5–7)

Our Tiny Ninjas program is designed specifically for children ages 5–7 and introduces martial arts in a fun, safe, and age-appropriate way. Classes focus on building coordination, balance, and basic movement skills while helping young students learn how to follow instructions, work with peers, and stay engaged in a structured classroom setting.

Through our specially designed curriculum, Tiny Ninjas develop important life skills such as listening, focus, and confidence. Physical training is presented through games and drills that emphasize practical body movement, coordination, and basic personal safety concepts, including age-appropriate stranger awareness. The goal is to help children have fun while building a strong foundation for future martial arts training.

5F Kids Karate (Ages 8–12)

Our 5F Kids Karate program is an age-appropriate martial arts and self-defense program designed for children ages 8–12. Classes focus on building confidence, discipline, and respect while teaching practical self-defense skills in a safe, structured environment.

A key part of our kids karate curriculum is anti-bullying education. Students learn how to recognize bullying, set boundaries, use confident body language, and respond appropriately — both verbally and physically — when needed. Training is designed to empower children without promoting aggression.

In addition to self-defense, students improve coordination, strength, and overall athletic ability while developing important character traits such as focus, perseverance, and accountability. Our goal is to help kids grow into confident, respectful, and capable young leaders on and off the mats.
Families from Granbury and the surrounding communities choose this program to help their children build confidence and resilience through consistent training.

Classic Karate (Ages 12 & Up)

Our Classic Karate program is designed for teens and adults who are interested in traditional Japanese Karate rooted in the Shotokan style. This class emphasizes proper technique, discipline, and the traditional structure of karate training while maintaining real-world relevance.

Students focus on aesthetics, form, and precision through structured practice, while also learning realistic and practical self-defense applications. Training incorporates striking, takedowns, and ground-based self-defense using classical karate techniques adapted for modern understanding.

Each class is organized around four core elements of traditional karate instruction:

• Kihon (Fundamentals): Proper stances, strikes, blocks, and movement
• Kata (Formal Routines): Traditional forms that develop technique, balance, and focus
• Kumite (Applied Sparring): Controlled application of techniques in partner drills and sparring
• Goshin Jujitsu (Self-Defense Grappling): Practical self-defense and grappling skills rooted in classical karate principles

This program is ideal for students who value tradition, technical depth, and disciplined training while still wanting effective self-defense skills. This program follows a structured curriculum and belt system consistent with classical karate traditions.  

5F Kickboxing (Ages 12 & Up)

Our 5F Kickboxing program is designed for teens and adults who want a challenging, high-energy workout while learning effective striking skills in a safe and supportive environment. This class is beginner-friendly and requires no prior experience.

Kickboxing classes focus on fundamental punches, kicks, and movement, with no sparring required. Instead, students train through structured drills that build coordination, power, and conditioning at a pace appropriate for all fitness levels.

Each class includes a full-body, calisthenics-based strength and conditioning circuit, mobility work, and high-repetition skill drills to help students burn calories, improve endurance, and build confidence. You’ll train alongside a positive group of teammates — everyday people committed to improving their fitness, health, and mindset.

No sparring. No pressure. No judgement.

Just effective training and a great workout.
