I started martial arts in 1994 at South Post Oak Baptist Church(now Fountain of Praise) on the south side of Houston. I trained under Philip Plumber for a majority of my martial arts training. Mr. Plumber instilled a lot of confidence and self control in me. I was a member of Soldiers for Christ Karate Team where he gained numerous titles as an underbelt in local tournaments. After achieving my red belt from Mr. Plumber, he allowed me to train with a well known respected martial artist George Minshew and Louis Garcia for the
1997 Super Grands where I gained my first silver world title for continuous sparring 18+. Also that year I was Hall of Fame for Texas National Tour and State Champion in Men’s Continuous Sparring and the following year too.
Later I moved to the west side of town and couldn't
continue to train at Mr. Plumber’s so I began to train with the famous “White Ninja†from the Chuck Norris movie Sidekicks. A world champion himself, well-known instructor, and has one of the top schools in Houston, Mr. Wayne Nguyen. In September of 1998 Mr. Nguyen promoted me to my 1st degree Black Belt. Then in 2002 I received my 2nd Dan, and in August of 2005 I received I 3rd Dan in Dallas, Texas. Continuing to give back in the Martial Arts, I started working for Chuck Norris Kick-Start in 2006 along with Mr. Loebe and Mr. Huerta to help guide our youth in the right direction. In 2008 I will open Pettway's Texas Karate Organization to train and promote my own black belts. The focus of this school is to take good people young or older , and make them well rounded from begining to end.
Our Focus: To take good people young or older, and make them well rounded from begining to end three hundred and sixty degrees.
