Cypress, TX -11/20/24- Cypress Martial Arts and Fitness (CMAF) is excited to announce that Robert Webre, founder, owner, and head instructor, has successfully tested for his 7th degree black belt in Taekwondo in Fairfield, New Jersey on November 15, 2024. This significant achievement comes after 27 years of dedicated training in the Cypress area and coincides with CMAF’s 20th anniversary of serving the Cypress community, marking a momentous year for both the school and its students.
For two decades, Master Webre has been focused on instilling confidence and essential self-defense skills in students of all ages in programs at CMAF. As part of the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF), CMAF emphasizes traditional Taekwondo teachings as they were intended by the founder of TaeKwon-Do. General Choi Hong Hi. “People often don’t realize that there is a difference in Taekwondo programs; CMAF stands out by teaching the fundamentals of TaeKwon-Do the way they were meant to be taught” stated Master Webre. “The ITF represents a pure lineage, with the son of the founder of Taekwondo, Choi Jung Hwa currently leading our organization, ensuring that our style remains traditional and closely aligned with the foundational principles of the art.”
“Our mission has consistently been about providing our students with the ability to be able to carry themselves in a manner that makes them less likely to be a target, along with the practical self-defense skills needed to protect themselves,” he stated. “Our success is rooted in a true commitment to the personal growth and achievements of each student.
Recently, CMAF relocated to 16326 Mueschke Rd E9 to better meet the needs of the business and to create a boutique-style gym focused on smaller classes, advanced self-defense training, and personalized instruction for students ages 9 and up who desire to excel in martial arts. This new environment allows CMAF to provide more comprehensive training experiences that cater to the unique requirements of each student.
In addition to Taekwondo, Cypress Martial Arts and Fitness (CMAF) offers Krav Maga, an Israeli self-defense program for people who want to learn practical, real world self defense skills. Additionally CMAF has a Fitness Kickboxing program, providing a fun and engaging way to improve fitness while learning proper punching and kicking techniques. Boxing is currently offered one night per week, with plans to expand this offering in early 2025 to meet the growing demand for striking sports.
In addition to leading CMAF, Robert Webre is also the owner and founder of Silverback Self Defense (SBSD), a mobile self-defense training company established in 2017. SBSD offers customized, on-site self defense training for individuals, families, groups, and corporate clients, driven by the need for accessible self-defense training beyond traditional martial arts settings or classroom instruction.
Cypress Martial Arts and Fitness looks forward to continuing its legacy of empowering individuals through self-defense training for many years to come
