Martial Arts Schools near Bellaire

“My 9yo son and 7yo daughter have been training with Coach Pablo for the last 4 years and boy, what transformations they have made. Just to list a few, their self-confidence, PERSEVERANCE , focus, respect, and humility have drastically improved. To brag a bit, they both took home gold at the last IBJJF kids tournament in Houston.I have to say that Coach Pablo loves what he does and he goes above and beyond for the kids. There’s a reason students come from all over Houston and as far away as the Woodlands to train with him.“

“KMA Tae Kwon Do has terrific instructors. My son enjoys learning. I like seeing the confidence and respect that the instructors teach as well. This is a well-run studio that benefits all ages!“

“This gym changed my life. Professor Romolu, Lucas, Andrea and all the black belts have been so welcoming. I learn something new every class and most importantly, they care about your safety and growth. This gym feels like family. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to begin their BJJ journey with people who will meet you where you are at. I lost 25 pounds and I’m in the best shape of my life. CAUTION: this stuff is highly addictive !“

“I've been coming here for almost 3 years and I absolutely love it. If you feel hesitant to try it as an adult ...I recommend you at least try it out before completely dismissing it. It's definitely increased my flexibility and that's saying for a man that's 260lb, but it's also shown me a different side to martial arts that I've actually come to enjoy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking into trying something new ! Adults !! It's never too late to try something new... One day can before your day one of training!“

“I really enjoy learning aikido here. As an adult woman (mid 40’s) I chose this dojo because there's no children training here, and winning competitions is not the goal. The training mat is top notch for taking the harder falls, and I appreciate the changing rooms so I'm not traveling in my gi.I receive instruction from a wide range of people and ranks, and the years of experience the senior instructors have is hard to find. This is a difficult martial art and I've never felt put down for not being as quick or capable as others.Update (04/04/22): We made it through COVID and remain an active dojo. I still train here and am on track to earn my black belt despite my body trying to break down on me (injury not related to aikido LOL). I've added the SMR Jodo classes and find I really enjoy learning the weapons system in addition to the hands-on aikido system.“

“I visited Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Houston. As a school owner and myself. I find that Master Williams is a great teacher and loves kids and loves what he doing. I would definitely recommend this school.“

“Been here 40 years ago, Master Kim Soo might not remember me, but long time ago he told our class that he fought Bruce Lee. We didn't believe him at first, but then he showed us a picture of him and Bruce Lee. I believe Bruce Lee was doing a demonstration on him. I just want to tell master Kim Soo thank you.“

“As a parent, watching your child grow and develop is a priceless experience. When my 5-year-old started BrazilianJiu-Jitsu classes at Midtown MMA Houston, he was a beginner with much to learn. Now, a year later, the transformation is remarkable.Professor Chris, Coach Chris and all the instructors have not only taught my child the techniques of Jiu-Jitsu but also valuable life skills. My child’s self-esteem and confidence have soared, and he always had so much joy on practicing jiu jitsu at Midtown MMA Houston.I highly recommend this academy to any parent looking to enrich their child’s life with martial arts.“

“Good people here, the adult class has a mix of people new to Shotokan and those returning after a few years away. Sensei Alex has taught me physical and mental aspects of the sport which I'm still learning, I have developed in self discipline and strength....the classes are also fun! You will feel welcome here.“

“Our 7-year-old daughter has been attending The Houston Center for Taekwondo for 2.5 years, and it has been an outstanding experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive to each student’s growth, helping build both physical skills and confidence. Over the years, we’ve seen her progress not only in her taekwondo abilities but also in her self-discipline and focus.

The center fosters a welcoming environment where young students feel motivated and excited to learn. The classes are well-organized, combining technique with valuable life lessons, like respect and perseverance. Watching her thrive and develop a true passion for the sport has been a rewarding journey. We highly recommend The Houston Center for Taekwondo to any family looking for a nurturing and professional martial arts school.“

“Professional Karate Instructors. Good Traditional Karate Shihan Johnny Hunter is the Best also good Family Atmosphere and affordable Classes.“

“Master Rick and staff do a tremendous amount of effort to excel on how to teach the art of taekwondo and also teach the students good behaviour and discipline. If you are considering joining taekwondo classes you might want to give Talium a chance.“

“Meyerland Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for my son. He started just over a year ago at age 4 and is now in his second year of training at 5. In that time, I’ve seen him grow in confidence, discipline, and focus—but most importantly, he has so much FUN!

The staff have a wonderful way of connecting with the kids, making sure every student feels respected, seen, and heard. They balance structure with encouragement, taking the art seriously while keeping classes enjoyable and engaging. One of the mottos on the wall says, “Don’t practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t get it wrong.” I love this mindset and even remind my son of it at home.

I’m truly impressed with the skills he’s learned and how dedicated he is to his training. He looks forward to every class and carries the values of respect, kindness, and self-love beyond the studio. I honestly can’t recommend Meyerland Martial Arts and their amazing staff enough.

As a bonus, we even hosted his birthday party here—and it was phenomenal! My son was thrilled to celebrate in a place he loves, and the staff made it such a smooth, memorable experience. I barely had to lift a finger, not even kidding! If you’re looking for a unique experience, I would recommend inquiring about parties here!! It was a huge success and I was blown away by their efforts to make my son’s special day so exciting.

This is an honest review from a very grateful mom who’s thankful for the positive influence, mentorship, and community at Meyerland Martial Arts. I hope you check them out too!“
