The door creaks open to a sea of warm smiles, greeted by friendly staff and diligent students scrimmaging through jujitsu and Muay Thai.
Coppell’s Sixth Sense Martial Arts opened in September, specializing in Brazilian jujitsu and Muay Thai. Sixth Sense strives to build resilience, character and self-defense mechanisms within its customers.
“Jiujitsu helped me control my fears and manage my emotions,” jujitsu instructor Matheus Galvao said. “I want to impact lives. People who want to train will gain the knowledge of self-defense and leadership.”
Jiujitsu helps individuals flourish through fostering integrity and establishing a culture of personal responsibility.
Sixth Sense offers a comprehensive approach benefitting the mind and body, empowering students to thrive not just in martial arts, but in various aspects of life.
For many parents, teaching their children self-defense drew them to Sixth Sense. This is the case for Kelly Kim, parent of Sixth Sense student Ian Jee.
“I wanted him to learn how to protect himself,” Kim said. “You hear a lot of bad things on the internet. I read about a threat that occurred in California, where I am originally from. I then decided to have him take classes.”
To other students, the allure of martial arts is improving their character.
“At Sixth Sense, my main goals are to build strength, boost my confidence, and gain the reassurance that I can defend myself,” student Aisha Ahmed said. “I want to move past the fear of bullies, knowing that with this anti-bullying self-defense training, I’ll have the skills to stand up for myself and feel secure.”
Sixth Sense hopes students not only learn martial arts for the sake of life, but gain critical skills.
“I want them to feel empowered in their everyday lives, knowing they can defend themselves and handle challenges both on and off the mat,” owner Fahad Ahmed said. “Ultimately, my goal is to help them discover their inner strength and develop lifelong friendships along the way.”
