About Us

Our Academy is a safe space for all who seek to enrich their lives through martial arts.  

Whether you've been on the mats before or this is your first experience in a martial arts setting, you'll find a group of supporting practitioners ready to push you and grow with you.

Regardless of belt color, we are always learning and we believe that we learn best when we grow and learn together.

Master Adam Knorr (Owner/Instructor) started Martial Arts as a child at Duvall's Academy in Maryville, MO, where he trained until he moved to Fort Worth, TX in 2009.  He then joined North Texas Hapkido as an instructor until he decided to open his own location right here in Fort Worth in 2014.  With more than 26 years of experience, he holds a 6th Degree Black Belt and has trained numerous students to achieve black belts of their own! He's a senior board member of the American Institute of Modern Hapkido Instruction ("AIMHI"), and delights in training brand-new students just as much as he loves training seasoned martial artists.  When he's not on the mats, he loves spending time with his wife, Corinne, and their two boys!

Instructor Corinne (Co-Owner/Instructor) handles most of the office functions of the business - if you call the office to ask a question, she will usually be the one to answer and assist you!  She also runs the Kinder-Kido Program (specialized classes for 3-6 year-olds) at Knorr's Academy.  She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre and Psychology, which she utilizes to develop fun new ways to help guide children through their critical developmental milestones in a nurturing, encouraging environment.  She and her husband, Master Knorr, love this community and continue to look for ways to engage with others.  A loving wife and mom, she likes to relax and have fun with her boys in- and outside of class!
