CKA was started in 2005 in Irving, Texas by Senthil Thiyagarajan and Ponmalar Senthil. Champion Karate Academy has recently celebrated their 15th Anniversary with 300+ students, two locations, and four full time and two part-time instructors. The academy has received the “Best Karate School” award from Irving Awards multiple years in a row, and the City of Irving has also proclaimed the month of June 2016 as Champion Karate Academy Month.

"We love teaching our karate classes at Frisco Performing Arts Center as it is a centralized location that is very convenient for our students to come to from all around the metroplex. FPAC have such a clean environment and the staff are always very friendly.
