Grand Master Daniel Longoria
9th Degree Black Belt
For over 4 decades Grand Master Longoria has been teaching martial arts. Owning his own school since 1985 his passion is investing in his students and family (both his actual family and the LTMA family). Speaking of family, he loves doing life and business with his wife Pati, and he's a proud father to Toni & Rudy.
Outside of LTMA you may find Grand Master enjoying his motorcycle, traveling with his family, or traveling to teach classes, seminars and certifications to countless others in the various forms of martial arts and self defense. Learn more about Grand Master.
Pati Longoria
Pati also shares a love and passion for investing in others. As Co-Owner of LTMA she keeps busy with not only teaching a handful of classes, but also managing the front-desk (aka Central Operations) helping all of us with whatever our questions or needs are on any given night.
She loves spending time with her family, (Dan, Toni, Frank, Rudy & Nia), teaching and training and has always loved health and fitness, from running to strength training to group fitness classes and nutrition. Learn more about Pati.
