Martial Arts Schools near Pantego

“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.“

“Dropped into this gym for the first time last night and was honestly blown away. From the moment I walked in, everyone was welcoming and respectful, and the atmosphere was top-tier. The instruction was clear, detailed, and effective, and you could tell the coaches really care about their students’ progress—not just running a class. The room was clean, the training was high level, and the vibe was competitive but friendly. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, this place makes you feel like you belong and pushes you to get better. I left exhausted, humbled, and excited to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a legit BJJ academy with great people and great training.“

“I cannot speak highly enough of Master Choi and the entire team at Genesis Taekwondo My son has been training here for just 8 months, and under Master Choi expert guidance, he has already become a national champion in sparring!

Master Choi not only teaches the technical skills necessary for success in Taekwondo but also instills discipline, confidence, and respect in his students. He tailors his approach to each child, ensuring they reach their full potential both on and off the mat. My son has grown tremendously, not just as an athlete but as a person, thanks to Master Choi dedication and passion.

If you are looking for a Taekwondo program that truly nurtures young champions and develops character, look no further than Genesis Taekwondo.Master Choi is a phenomenal coach and mentor, and we are incredibly grateful to be part of this Taekwondo family.“

“My 5 year old son just tested in his first belt test. CUTE can't even cover how adorable the whole experience was! What I wasn't expecting was how dedicated and hardworking the kids really were. Everyone did amazing! I've watched my son's class many times and the instructors are always proactive in helping the kids. They get down on their level and will reposition their legs, if needed. Things like that. Mike and Simon are great with the kids.

After my son received that yellow belt, he was beaming. He broke a board, too! We brought it home. Dad wrote the date on it and MSA. He's building skills and memories for life. 1000% recommend for little kids.“

“My son loves the Shihan! They are awesome & friendly. We really enjoy coming here & my 5 yr old is learning very fast. He is excited the opportunities they give him & how consistent they are with striping & belting there. Recommended to friends & family“

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.“
