Meyerland Martial Arts proudly serving Houston since 1996

Originally from Baytown Texas, Kwan Jang Nim Michael Nebgen began training in 1988 in Tang Soo Do under Master Allen Sharpe in Huntsville, Texas. Kwan Jang Nim Mike continued training and teaching as an assistant under Master Sharpe’s supervision until his graduation from Sam Houston State University in 1991.

In October 1991, Kwan Jang Nim Mike relocated to Houston and was advised by Master Sharpe to find Kuk Sool Master Jay Lee to continue his training. Upon finding Master Lee, discovered he was not accepting students and was recommended to the Clear Lake Kuk Sool Dojang.

Kwan Jang Nim Mike was immediately accepted for training. where he began an accelerated training course. Within a couple of years Kwan Jang Nim Mike was a Black Belt instructor teaching and training for many hours each day.

Meyerland Martial Arts was opened in June 1996. After training hundreds of instructors and developing programs for all ages, Meyerland Martial Arts is arguably the best martial art skills training development program in Houston. Covering virtually every facet of martial arts training.

One of the most important aspects of Mike’s approach is the relentless attention to safety and students longevity. Particularly in the context of training methodologies that have the best long-term benefits in the least long-term injuries. Historically, Traditional Martial Arts has not had the benefit of the high level of medical science of our era, and as a result some of the traditional methods required adapting to the most up-to-date safety standards… Most of the rigorous traditional training can be augmented to have the most benefit, and the least detriment for the long-term improvement of the student of any age. Mike has collected literally thousands of data points to document where training safety can be constantly improved. Including developing higher level curriculum based on the needs of all ages of students including adults over 50.
