Texas’ Top Rated Local® Martial Arts Award Winner: Rockhold Karate

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Rockhold Karate is a 2018 award winner for martial arts schools in Texas!

Located in the heart of Central Texas, Rockhold Karate provides martial arts classes for people of all ages and ability levels to help sharpen their mind, body and character.

Rockhold Karate has earned dozens of online reviews with an average rating of 5.00 stars, an excellent Rating Score™ of 99.00 and a 2018 Top Rated Local award for being ranked the number two martial arts school in all of Texas!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Rockhold Karate has been one of the best investments we have made in our son’s future. He has been attending for a little over a year now, and the growth we have seen is incredible. Master Rockhold is an excellent instructor. He demands respect, but does it in such a manner that the kids aren’t afraid but instead trust and enjoy being around him. He can be funny while still maintaining his leadership role. It’s the perfect balance, and we are so glad we took the leap and tried out Rockhold Karate.” – Megan M

Not Your Average Martial Arts School

Chris Rockhold, the owner of Rockhold Karate, doesn’t operate his martial arts school like his local competitors do.

When you call other martial arts schools in the area, they’ll often give you the runaround. They may not be very friendly on the phone, and they’ll often ask you to come in when you have simple pricing questions that could be answered over the phone.

But Chris takes a different, more laid-back approach to operating his business. He’s always straightforward with his students and their families, addressing any questions or concerns promptly, and he never tries to push a hard sale. Instead, he encourages them to come in and try out a class — the rest is history.

We asked Chris why they do what they do at Rockhold Karate, and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what he had to say:

“My mission statement — which my wife and I came up with when I created the business — is sharpening mind, body and character, and that’s we we do. We approach every aspect of the human being. Our programs are like fitness for your mind and your body.”

Building Success Through Great Customer Service

Chris credits Rockhold Karate’s strong online reputation to their commitment to providing the best possible service for their customers.

The moment someone contacts Chris, he takes care of them. He answers the phone when people call and greets guests with a smile as soon as they walk in the door. Even if he’s in the middle of a class, he’ll greet people with a smile and let them know that he’ll take care of them when he can.

Chris does a lot of social media posts on Instagram and Facebook to get his company’s name out there, as well as advertising on these platforms. He’s also done some advertising on Google.

Chris works with a couple of elementary schools, and he participates in a fundraising auction every year. He puts together certificates for these auctions each year so that students and their families will see the value in what they offer.

Rockhold Karate also gives back with multiple Goodwill donations, by donating school supplies to a couple of local schools and by participating in the High Hopes after school program.


Congratulations to the team at Rockhold Karate for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Chris, for taking the time to speak with us!
