Martial Arts Schools in Houston

“The classes are well organized, and the training is both fun and meaningful. The environment is positive and encouraging, which makes it a great place for students to learn and grow.

Master Park and Julie not only teach excellent Taekwondo techniques, but they also emphasize important values such as respect and discipline. What I appreciate most is that they encourage students to keep trying even when they fail. They help students develop perseverance and confidence, which is truly valuable both inside and outside the dojang.

Thanks to their guidance and support, my child is growing not only in Taekwondo skills but also as a person. I strongly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Taekwondo in a supportive and inspiring environment. It is definitely worth it.“

“My daughter really enjoys participating. She’s shown improvement at home with discipline and structure and knows that self defense is a necessity. Coach Walker is patient with all kids and you can tell he’s passionate with his work. 💕“

“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.“

“My son started there when he was three. We had to move to another state . My wife was transferred. We miss him. I have nothing but praise for him.“

“Very nice clean facility. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable of their martial arts style.“

“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.“

“Our son has been attending the Aikido classes for a month now. It is an absolutely great place! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing environment for their children (and adults) to bloom!“

“This place is beyond awesome!!! Mrs. Amanda has helped me with my son in ways that I am very grateful for!!! My son joined them for the summer program then after school to karate lessons with Sensei!!! The staff is so nice too!! They actually care for the kids!!! We are thankful to have met them!!! Thank you for everything Mrs. Amanda & Sensei!!!!“

“Don’t let me get started, I love this place so much it has been my childhood I started this class when I was either 3 or 4 I have learned many self defense techniques and more manners because they do not play and I also used to help instruct and I’m now a retired black belt .“

“Tengo a mi hijo practicando TKD y Boxing y solo puedo decir que es la mejor decisión que he tomado sobre la educación de mi hijo, lo recomiendo de todo corazón, no hay mejor lugar que con la Máster Laura!!“

“Houston Karate Academy serves the Houston community with quality instruction in the art of mixed martial arts and the tenets of karate. HKA meets each student where they are in their ability and takes them up to and beyond what they believe they are able to achieve. Karate is a life-long commitment. Each One Teach One!“

“Our two children attended Master Rick's Taekwondo school for about two years before we had to leave Houston.
The kids were always happy to go to class and were very proud of their progress and achievements.
As parents, we appreciated a perfect blend of technical rigor, friendly atmosphere and transmission of the moral values of Taekwondo.
Master Rick set the bar so high that since we moved, we've been struggling to find a suitable alternative in our new location.
Highly recommend !“

“I made a decision to put my kids into karate and it was the best thing I could have done. This way they can get all that pent up energy out! They are in summer camp and they love it! Sensei Patrick is the absolute best!“

“My two daughters have been attending the Tiny Tots Jiu Jitsu sessions at Impact Self Defense since October, and the experience has been incredible. The growth I’ve seen in both of them in just a few months has been amazing.

Not only are they learning real skills, but their confidence, focus, and listening skills have improved so much. The instructor is patient, encouraging, and truly knows how to work with young kids in a way that keeps it fun while still teaching discipline and respect.

My girls look forward to every class, and as a parent, I couldn’t ask for a more positive and supportive environment. I highly recommend Impact Self Defense to any family looking to build confidence and skills in their children!“

“I started as a super morbidly obese adult and it was the best decision I ever made. I was able to work at my own pace while still being pushed outside my comfort zone. I trained for an extended period of time (including taking time off), but eventually earned my black belt. The owner (Master Mike) and the instructors are top tier and do all they can to help anyone willing to learn. It is an investment in yourself that cannot be matched. Although they also train kids and young adults, don’t let that stop you from starting. You won’t regret it! Thank you Meyerland Martial Arts for everything you have done for me.“

“I highly recommend the Bjj classes at Midtown. The instruction is excellent, everyone is very friendly, and it’s a lot of fun!“

“Training at kma Taekwondo Hapkido has been such a positive experience for me. As a 17 year old orange belt, I’ve learned so much in a short amount of time. The instructors are highly skilled and encouraging, which makes it easy to push yourself without feeling intimidated.
What I appreciate most is how balanced the training is it’s not just about physical techniques, but also about discipline, respect, and focus. I can already see myself improving in both my form and my mindset.I feel proud to be part of this dojang. I look forward to continuing my journey here and reaching higher belt levels with the guidance of my instructors.“

“Amazing classes and instructors! They definitely are trying to help you reach your best potential“

“My nephew has been going to their classes since last summer, and he loves it! He goes 3-4 times a week, and often chooses to go to their Saturday classes as well because he likes it so much. We notice he has better focus and is more disciplined from what he is learning at the classes. It helps him spend his energy so he isn’t so hyper at home. We look forward to keeping him in the classes.“

“It is a good place for your child's discipline, it has helped my daughter a lot and she has met new friends...“

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.“
