Welcome to Dade City Martial Arts, where tradition meets innovation in the heart of our community. Steeped in a rich history that traces its roots back to the late 90s and early 2000s, our studio began its journey as Double Crescent Taekwondo. Under the guidance of esteemed masters Linda Shockly, Ryan Stevens, and our founder Ronald Stevens, it flourished as a beacon of excellence in Taekwondo Chung Do Kwan.
Today, we proudly carry forward this legacy under the capable hands of Zach and Gaby Smith. Transforming into Dade City Martial Arts, we continue the tradition of Double Crescent with the same dedication to excellence and the values instilled by our predecessors. Our commitment to fostering physical fitness, mental resilience, and personal growth remains unwavering.
But our story doesn't end with Taekwondo alone. We've expanded our offerings to include the art of Jiu Jitsu, thanks to the invaluable partnership of a lifelong friend and esteemed practitioner, Professor Daniel Sammons. With his expertise and passion, we now embrace the multidimensional aspects of martial arts, offering a holistic approach to self-defense, discipline, and overall well-being. At DCMA, Zach, Gaby, and Daniel form the triumvirate of leadership, each bringing their unique expertise and vision to the dojang. Together, they uphold the legacy of Double Crescent while propelling us forward into new realms of martial arts excellence. With Zach's family, where both mom and dad are Black Belt Masters, and Daniel's unwavering dedication, the spirit of martial arts excellence runs deep within our lineage.
Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or stepping onto the mat for the first time, we invite you to join us at Dade City Martial Arts. Discover the transformative power of martial arts, forge lifelong friendships, and become the best version of yourself, one kick and one submission at a time. Welcome to our dojang – where tradition, legacy, and innovation converge under the guidance of Zach, Gaby, and Daniel.
