Martial Arts Schools in San Antonio

“Fantastic experience! The staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, teaching with positive reinforcement. They welcomed my teen, who is a wheelchair user, and didn't blink at making accommodations for her. The training was a mix of demonstration, explanation for the technique, and plenty of time for repetition and practice.“

“San Antonio Expert Taekwondo is a fantastic place and has been a great place for my 7yr. My Lil girl has been loving these classes since Tiger level and now in intermediate level. A+++++“

“We started a couple months ago and he has learned so much already. He always looks forward to coming to class. Not only do they show them taekwondo moves but patience, discipline, to be respectful….it goes on. I have seen the difference in my son academically and at home because of Excel Martial Arts ??“

“My son has been attending Studio Martial Arts for a year now, and he has made significant progress with self discipline, physical fitness, and social interaction. As a father of a child with Autism I highly recommend this dojo if you are looking for a kid geared and discipline centered activity for your child.“

“The best martial arts school , all the masters at this school are one hundred percent, they take there time to teach you the rt way .“

“Great place to come for both adults and kids. Fantastic instructors and the Sensei is very good. Both jujitsu and karate are very easy to learn a pick up thanks to the instructors. Easy to understand progression as well as life applicable topics through discipline and focus. Been training here for almost 7 years now and both the kids and adult classes are unmatched in friends you can meet, fun you can have as well as actually learn how to protect yourself and not just karate.“

“If you want your kids to learn discipline and martial arts. This is the NO.1 choice. They have 5 classes a week, that include sparring, forms, and weapons such as nunchucks. This is a must stop by martial art school for everyone.“

“There are so many reasons to love this school. Yes your kids will learn karate skills, they'll learn self defense, they'll learn how to deal with bullies but the character development and leadership that they will learn is what I love so much. So often my husband and I will be speaking with our son about life lessons we hope to teach him and without speaking with Sensei Pierce, he will share the same message. Having our son in a karate school with biblical principles incorporated was a no brainer but seeing God work in our son's life through his sensei is truly a blessing.
All of the instructors make this place truly special and the kids are not just students, they become family.“

“He’s a great instructor. Would you?
Helps
you do taekwondo. He’s really funny.“

“My 6-year-old daughter and 9 years old son have been attending JK Taekwondo classes for more than a year now and I'm amazed at the progress they have made! Not only have improved their coordination and balance, but their confidence and focus have also grown tremendously. The instructors are fantastic with kids, making the classes engaging and fun while still teaching valuable life skills like discipline and respect. Highly recommend JK Taekwondo.“

“They have great instructors. Family friendly at a reasonable price!! They compete in world nationals and many tournaments!!“

“I can’t say enough great things about this Judo dojo. The coaching here is truly exceptional—every instructor is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in each student’s growth. They don’t just teach technique; they teach discipline, respect, and life skills that carry far beyond the mat. What really sets this place apart is the family atmosphere. Everyone is welcoming, supportive, and encouraging, creating a strong sense of community that makes you feel like you belong from day one. Whether you’re training for competition, self-defense, or personal development, this dojo offers an environment where students of all ages can thrive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality coaching and a positive, family-friendly place to train!“

“I highly recommend Victory Martial Arts Leon Springs. The instructors are dedicated, the community is welcoming, and the adult kickboxing classes are an awesome workout.“

“Hello, thank you for the effort made by the teaching staff, it's a very good karate school that everyone listened to.“

“We tried two other taekwondo schools, one was based in attendance, the other was not a good fit and then we did two trial classes at KATKD and I knew it was the perfect fit for my 10 yr old daughter. Its instructors are encouraging, the students are very supportive, and Ms.Martinez is amazing as a teacher and someone who genuinely cares for all her students from white belts up. Don’t just drive by, stop in for a class for sure.“

“Our son has changed so much. We are so proud of him and his accomplishment. Master O'Hara has been phenomenal and Mr. Martindale is fantastic. We are amazed by the staff and not only the staff but our son and everythingg he has learned in a year. He learned leadership. He learned confidence. He learned how to be his own person. We are so grateful for you all! Thank you.“

“Good Spirit Tai Chi Chuan is an excellent experience. I have been attending for five months. The instructor, Nameer Kirma, establishes a welcoming environment for the classes, which slowly build the flexibility, skills, and mindset to practice Tai Chi. The class encompasses both experienced and novice students, with each group working on building skills at their current level of training. Nameer helps each individual refine their movements with clear explanations and demonstrations. He is very patient!“

“Master Hsu is fantastic with kids of all ages. He has very high expectations while also demonstrating patience and understanding.“

“Master Lobo is the best teacher, who works with the child’s strengths and weaknesses to help make the student successful!“

“My pre-teen wanted to try martial arts to help him with his anxiety and to help him stay fit. He loved it and learned so much after just one lesson! It’s affordable and everyone of all ages including the instructors are welcoming and friendly. Sensei Gadier and the other instructors are skilled and patient. They offer group and private lessons. Their studio is clean and large with a seating area for parents.“

“We are about a month into our son's training and the experience has been great. The instructors are professional and stay dedicated to his learning, on and off of the mat. With forms to give to his teachers at school and forms for us to fill out at home, he stays motivated to succeed. If we have concerns or problem areas, we are welcomed to talk with his instructors and they help us by incorporating that into the lesson.

Activities and extra classes are relayed through the app and this makes it easy to stay in the loop on special training days or even events like parents night, etc.

Tools, equipment and ppe is offered for purchase at the studio or through the app so there isn't any need to waste extra time searching for where to buy the tools he needs to progress through his belts.

Overall we are very pleased and can't wait to see where he can be in a few months even weeks time.“

“We absolutely love Kung Jung Mu Sul of Texas! All three of my kids have been in their after-school program for a few years now, and it’s been such a great experience. The instructors are amazing — they’re not just teaching martial arts; they’re helping the kids build real-world skills like respect, discipline, and responsibility. They also work closely with parents and even teachers when needed to help address any behavior issues, which makes such a huge difference. Plus, they’re fantastic with special needs kids — patient, supportive, and really tuned in to what each child needs. This place is more than just a martial arts school — it’s like a second family. We’re so grateful to be part of it!“

“During the past two years, I have been training Japanese Jiu-Jitsu under the instruction of Sensei Eduardo De La Garza. I had always wanted to do some form of martial arts, but never got around to it. What kept me away from training martial arts and more specifically Jiu-Jitsu, was that most places seemed competition based and I had heard a lot of stories about serious injuries. As someone in their thirties, these were the two biggest issues for me before I began my training and this is where Sensei Eduardo really excels. Training at Eduar-Do has the perfect balance of competition, real life training and safety. We train hard, we train competitively, but we also train safely. I have had no injuries to date. All of the fellow classmates I have encountered have been great to work with and have a great understanding of what our training is about. No one here has an ego and everyone works hard to bring the best out of each other. I have seen improvement not just in Japanese Jiu Jitsu, but in my overall strength, conditioning and mindset. The real life situational training has also provided me peace of mind if I were to ever be in a situation that required self defense. When you factor in the quality of instruction and the cost of the classes, there is no greater value in Japanese Jiu Jitsu than training under the instruction of Sensei Eduardo De La Garza. It has been an amazing experience so far and I look forward to improving more and more at Eduar-Do.“

“Our 2 boys started last month and absolutely love it. The life skills they are learning is incredible. Mr Mastin does a fantastic job with the kids they respond to him really well. We can't wait to grow here at Victory“

“I've been emailing and calling different gyms to find a class for my son. He'll be turning 3 in a few days. There are a few who will take them not potty trained yet. I let them know he's on pull ups and it was fine. They got back to me promptly with emails and got him into a trial class within a couple days. We got there and one of owners Juliana greeted us. She was super nice and friendly, explained everything and got a practice gi for my son. The other owner came and met us as well and took my son into the practice area to meet the coaches. They all were very kind and friendly. He had no problems at all. I was worried he would be too young and wouldn't be able to understand. After the class I met with coach Chris and he reassured me he did well and it would be good for him. I met with Juliana again to go over the breakdown and fees and how things work. They have a great promo right now til June 22nd. After leaving I knew we picked the right gym for my son. Everyone was friendly and they were all great with kids. Definitely recommend“
