Martial Arts Schools near Hurst

“We’ve had such a great experience at Excel Academy Tae Kwon Do! Both my young daughter and my 6-year-old son absolutely love their classes and look forward to them every week—they literally count down the days until class night.

Since starting, I’ve noticed a positive shift in their obedience and attitude at home, and one of my favorite things is seeing them come home excited to keep practicing what they learned. It’s been so fun watching their confidence and discipline grow.

Master Valdez does an incredible job of creating an environment that is focused while still being fun. He meets kids where they are and allows them to grow at their own pace, yet pushes them to be the best they can each class, which has made such a difference for our family. He holds the kids accountable no matter their age, which has been great too.

We’re so thankful to be part of this community and highly recommend Excel Academy Tae Kwon Do to other families!“

“My daughter has been attending Reveal - Alliance for about 1.5 years now. Prior to karate, she struggled with confidence, so we she expressed interest, I jumped on it. In addition to traditional karate classes, I enrolled her in Leadership classes just over a year ago. Since then, I have noticed such a huge difference in confidence and leadership! She is more assertive and confident in things outside of karate, such as school and social events, which I am very happy to see. I have had many adults tell me how confident and polite she is for her age!

The instructors are top notch and just wonderful with the kids. I've even been motivated to take the adult classes during the summer, so it is now a family thing we share together. Participation in multiple Karate tournaments has developed her ability to deal with stress, anxiety, and competition. She has experienced both the pain of disappointment along with the pride in winning. All of which are valuable life lessons.

Time will tell, but her goal halfway to her black belt is to become an instructor! One very proud Mama here. Karate is not just physical activity, it is discipline, respect, integrity, self-control and perseverance. It develops the child's overall well-being and I see tremendous value in this kind of activity. Wish I had to opportunity to do this as a child. :)“

“My family and I have traveled to Texas for several tournaments, and after hearing so many great things about All American MMA, we finally stopped in. I’m glad we did!

From a wrestling camp with Jason Nolf to private lessons with Heath the Ref, it quickly became clear that this place is a true one-stop shop. The instruction from the coaches and Rocky is sequential, meticulous, and taught with purpose, making it easy for kids to learn and retain what they’re being taught.

Coach Rocky was knowledgeable, genuine, approachable, and excellent with the kids/athletes. He takes the time to teach things the right way and genuinely wants every kid to succeed. The kids were welcoming, the parents were friendly, and the atmosphere felt like everyone was invested in helping each other improve.

This definitely won’t be the last time we come here. One of the best experiences we’ve had while traveling, and an amazing place for kids to train and grow. We haven’t even left yet and I already can’t wait for my son Shi to come back and train here again. Thanks Coach Rocky for everything, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.“

“I recommend Tiger Rock Keller all the time! From the teachers to the facility to the testing options it is all great! My child has grown so much in the last 2 years since she started classes! She enjoys the peer to peer training and it has helped her come out of her shell. The teachers are able to adapt their expectations and criteria based on the child and allow them to rank when they are ready it's never forced. Mr. Matthews and Mr. Allen are the best! If your child is struggling with too much energy or needing more non parent discipline, instructions, and physical outlet Tiger Rock is a great place to try. They remind them to keep it on the mat and follow the Tiger Rock traits including honor humility perseverance etc. Try it out and see what they can offer yourself as the adult and/or your child!“

“Great place! I’m able to work my full shift without any issues, and my kids have learned a lot of discipline. They love being there so much that they don’t even want to leave when I pick them up. Highly recommend!“

“Phenomenal coaches great place to train from beginners to pro. Good energy. I highly recommend if your in area.“

“LSIT led me through my entire journey from white belt to 1st degree black belt. As an adult student with no prior martial arts or combat training prior to joining, this was one of the most formative experiences of my life. Master David Kestenbaum is a true professional and no-nonsense instructor who genuinely cares about doing things the right way. He fosters a community grounded in discipline, respect, and integrity, supported by an exceptional group of black belts who all lead by example. You will find few self-building experiences that are more worth your time than training here. They will meet you where you are, but will not let you stay complacent. Speaking anecdotally, they pushed me past my comfort zone in ways that built real toughness, confidence, and mettle that stuck with me far beyond the mats. I am profoundly grateful for the lessons learned, the friendships made, and the people who shaped me in this community, and I cannot recommend LSIT highly enough.“

“Wonderful, patient instructor who is passionate about what he does! Highly recommend!“

“Great gym with excellent instructors who care about helping their students improve. Highly recommend this gym!“

“Sentinel Martial Arts is truly my home away from home. Anyone that steps foot into the school walks out a better person and truly creates a village of people who show up for you. Everyone is welcome, everyone is pushed to succeed, everyone has different goals and it’s amazing to see their journeys along the way. Hope and Jose are the biggest blessing in my life as well as my family’s life couldn’t say enough to really describe how great instructors/mentors and overall just great human beings they are.“

“Its best kids Martial Art place we discovered coner of our house last year. Highly recommended.“

“My son has been doing TKD for 5.5 years. Being from Arkansas I didn't think we had opportunities to pull away when we became unhappy at the old place. Coach approached us one day and gave us an opportunity we couldn't pass up. In the short time we've been here, my son has started to feel the love for TKD again. Thanks to a coach who pushes him, is positive, and coaches the kids. He is not one to stand back and watch someone do it for him. He is definitely there for the kids.“

“My son has been coming here for two years and we have nothing but positive things to say about the dojo. When we arrived, it was apparent that they care deeply about all their students as they check in on us frequently whether that be for him being sick or injured. The dojo will forever have a place in our hearts.“
