Martial Arts Schools near Irving

“This is a kid/toddler friendly martial arts school. Starting from the ages of 4+. The school is well organized and structured. The instructors are very friendly and attentive.The beginners class (Dragons Class) ranges from ages 4-6. It is well designed to provide not only martial arts, but also to teach life lessons in becoming a good person. The classes are fun for the kids. A great way to utilize their energy in a safe environment.Classes are from Monday-Saturday. You attend two 30-minute classes a week during the designated time spots. Classes are separated by age groups and also by skill level.My son started around the age of 4. He was very timid and shy at first. It was a struggle to get him to participate in class, but with the help of the awesome instructor staff he overcome his fear. He definitely enjoys going to classes now, and has shown a ton of improvement since joining 9 months ago.“

“Literally one of the best decisions that I made was signing my child up at Genesis Taekwondo! The curriculum is so well rounded in teaching, confidence, discipline, and mental focus, all the while having fun! The instructors are phenomenal with scaffolding on the student’s knowledge, while building them up into the best version of themselves. Truly a genuine place, full of genuine people that want the best for your child!“

“I'm not sure how I missed reviewing HEB Martial Arts; I might be so close that I forgot to review it. It's a family, and the journey started almost eight years back. I came to this facility to have my little one trained, and if I a not wrong, I paid for three months, and two days later, my kid refused to go saying she doesn't like taekwondo. I asked Master Christy to return the money, and without asking anything, she returned all the money. Can you believe this? Trust grew, and here we are, my kid and myself, practicing at this location for almost eight years now, and my kid is now a second-degree blackbelt. Since I am associated for so long, I will have my bias, but I will try to be truthful. Master Christy and the army will try to help you learn, grow, be self-reliant, fit, and train to be a black belt. You learn to protect yourself and, most importantly, learn to be a good human being. There are many hidden gems here, Master Justin, Master Jean, and many more. Master Jean gives motivational, inspirational, and life-changing speeches that will bring positive changes to you. These pearls of wisdom are precious and rare. Overall, there are great things to learn that will help your physical, mental, and overall growth; these learnings should help you academically, your career, and in other places.“

“I started training with Steve just about a year ago and have already noticed a significant improvement in energy levels, sleep, and body. I came to gain muscle and live a healthier lifestyle and that’s exactly what I’ve received plus MORE! Steve truly knows how to cater to ones individual needs whether that is through working out, eating habits, and/or overall lifestyle habits. If you’re looking for a trainer who is going to make every workout different, keep you motivated, and who gives you their absolute undivided attention - go to Steve!! You won’t regret it.“

“Great gym, friendly staff. Classes are competitive, yet fun and friendly. A great group of members! I'm glad I found this place.“

“I've been training with the OKCD for a few years now and love it. The instructors and the people running the school are so kind and welcoming that you can't help but feel like you're joining a community first and training karate second. I have a few years of martial arts training under my belt in many different arts from before my time at OKCD, and I gotta say that I've never felt more at home than I do at OKCD. Everyone who trains and teaches there LOVES karate and it's hard to miss. There isn't any kind of "we're better than everyone else" bravado and there aren't any cliques within the dojo. It's just training and exploring ideas and concepts within the curriculum.I truly believe that the culture of a school, or business for that matter, comes from the top and trickles down through the ranks. Because this dojo was founded by people who are passionate about martial arts and the sharing of the style they fell in love with, that mentality of just appreciating where you are and exploring the movements is prevalent throughout the entire school. I spent many years searching for a dojo to learn traditional Okinawan karate from, and I'm so thankful I found OKCD. Looking forward to many more years making new connections and meeting people who share a love for all things martial arts.“
