Oak Cliff Martial Arts

Mr. Patrick Dunn is a 4th Degree Black Belt in the Southwest Karate Association. 

Personal Statement:  I was part of the first generation of youth karate in America.  I started when I was four years old.  As my parents will attest, I was loud and off the walls as a kid.  I quickly learned that that was all a ball of energy just waiting to be focused in the right direction.  I became engulfed in karate and grew in ability and confidence to become the youngest black belt in the State of Texas at seven years old, just days before by eighth birthday.  From that point on I have continued to learn that the lessons and physical abilities that were taught to me as a child have been the cornerstones of my life as a man, husband, father and athlete.  The relationships that I developed as a kid have continued with me as an adult, and it is my aim to share what I have learned and help to be a guiding force for our students in the same way that my instructors have helped me for the last 30 years.
