About Pratt's Karate Club (PKC Karate) & Founders
Master Leonard Pratt (7th Degree) Pratt's Karate Club Founder
7th Dan Master Leonard Pratt founded the Total Control System of Tae Kwon Do and established Pratt's Karate Club in 1979. Master Pratt began the PKC children's program in 1981. Master Pratt had over 30 years of experience in Martial Arts training and over 20 years of experience as a black belt instructor. PKC is founded in the belief that in order to become a complete martial artist, one needs to be schooled in several disciplines. Although PKC is grounded in Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do, he had incorporated the arts of Hapkido, Kick Boxing and Judo into the program.
Master Pratt's one-on-one attention with each and every student is what made him unique among other martial arts Masters. The dedication of teaching the martial arts had paid off, as PKC has had several students ranked #1 in Texas as well as the United States through the AOK circuit in the 1990's.
He stated once "One needs to be able to react to any situation, and it is our belief that ALL martial art styles offer benefits to their students". Therefore, he welcomed any and all students from other styles into the program to learn, as well as teach aspects of their training that help others become better martial artists.
Master Pratt believed that martial arts is much more than just an art, it's a way of life. Therefore, he has developed the Total Control System of Tae Kwon Do with this belief as its cornerstone. The Total Control system is the the ability to "know" the distance and timing of your blocks, Kicks and strikes. He always stated that if you can not control it you must not throw it. He would demostrate this by kicking pennies out of his partners lips with cresent and hook kicks. Master Pratt will never be forgotten and is seen through every student and instructor everyday at Pratt's Karate Club.
