Martial Arts Schools near Stafford

“Our kids have been training here for 4 years, started with no experience, and now one is a Red Belt with a stripe, and is well on his way to being a black belt. My little girl, started fresh out of diapers (3 years old!) and is now an orange belt with a stripe! It's not just about the advancement in levels and continued skill building; for us, it's about the confidence, the passion, the patience, and the encouragement that Master Williams and staff have helped develop in my kids. We will be forever grateful! The kids went from iPad kids, to little Martial Art Pros and we are here for it!“

“This Taekwondo school is an excellent place to train. The Master is amazing very knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about each student’s growth and development. He creates a positive and motivating environment where students feel supported and encouraged to do their best.“

“I joined Rilion Gracie at 60 years old with no previous martial arts experience. My thought was to get a good cardio workout while learning some skills. While it's a little intimidating to start martial arts at my age, a friend encouraged me to join this studio and I am so glad I did! ALL the instructors are top notch! They are very patient and give a lot of individual time to you, even in a full class. I've been a student for 3 months now and I already feel like I'm part of a team.......I can't compare this studio to others as I joined after my first week's free trial because they all made me feel welcomed right away. It's intense and demanding and you go home sore almost after every session, but that is exactly what I was looking for! If you are also, you need to check them out!“

“Love this place. Coach Henry keeps all of the students engaged by teaching in the moment and focusing on any students who might be falling behind. This center is different than any other we've tried. Besides the core learning, all of the students learn respect. We also see students coming back continuously instead of falling off the program. Also, the center is kept meticulously clean and orderly.“

“My daughter had a trial class at this location a couple of days ago and we had a wonderful experience. The front desk lady was friendly and transparent with schedule and fee information. In this one class experience we found Master Lee to be an extremely attentive, effective, yet also friendly instructor. It is very rare to see these high qualities combined in one instructor and we were very impressed. The class had a good mix of age and male and female students. My daughter had a blast. The tuition was also very reasonable. We may need to consider some scheduling issues before enrolling, but I highly recommend Master Lee and his class for other families in the area.

Update: My daughter recently started her class at this location. Her experience was wonderful just as the trial class. The classes are well structured and scheduling is flexible. The school also offers from time to time optional activities for children, which we enjoy as a family. We are very happy with this experience, and would recommend this class to others.“

“My daughter absolutely loves The Kick and looks forward to every single class! The instructors are well-trained, professional, and incredibly kind. They go beyond just teaching taekwondo. They focus on building essential life skills, discipline, and proper etiquette that truly support personal growth. I highly recommend The Kick to any parent looking for a positive and enriching environment for their child.
A special shoutout to Master Park, Miss Patty, and Miss Inshirah for their dedication, constant encouragement, and positive energy.“

“My daughter tried out a few different martial art gyms in Sugar Land before easily making her decision to sign up with Tiger Rock. We both had a great feeling about it and we still do several months later. The Saenz family are amazing people and teachers. Ms. San Antonio who has been my daughter’s main teacher is also amazing. All of the teachers are, along with the older mentor kids. I really appreciate the bar that is set for the students while instilling in them respect, kindness, strength, and self esteem. What a special group of people who really care.“

“RTC is a literally a hidden gem of a gym! The Coaches/Fitness Trainers here are not only authentic, but very well versed in obtaining your desired fitness goals, providing achievable milestones no matter your age or level of fitness! This is the type of local business we should be supporting in our communities. They’re truly family friendly atmosphere allows everyone to level up and grow in strength, endurance, mental fortitude, discipline, health. And so much more! ❤️“

“My 9yo son and 7yo daughter have been training with Coach Pablo for the last 4 years and boy, what transformations they have made. Just to list a few, their self-confidence, PERSEVERANCE , focus, respect, and humility have drastically improved. To brag a bit, they both took home gold at the last IBJJF kids tournament in Houston.I have to say that Coach Pablo loves what he does and he goes above and beyond for the kids. There’s a reason students come from all over Houston and as far away as the Woodlands to train with him.“

“Kim's World Taekwondo in Sugar Land has been a transformative experience for my son. Aldhair has an incredible ability to hold the attention of my hyperactive and autistic child, making him feel both comfortable and engaged. My son has truly fallen in love with the sport, and it's heartwarming to see him learn self-defense and discipline in such a supportive environment. The passion and dedication of the instructors shine through in every class, and I feel confident that my child is in great hands. Without a doubt, this is the best taekwondo place in all of Texas!“

“My child has attended classes at Safety America Karate for over three years and thoroughly enjoys them. The instructors and staff are fantastic! They are knowledgeable, kind, and patient with students, both young and old. The waiting area is large with plenty of seating, and the wifi is a bonus!“

“Meyerland Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for my son. He started just over a year ago at age 4 and is now in his second year of training at 5. In that time, I’ve seen him grow in confidence, discipline, and focus—but most importantly, he has so much FUN!

The staff have a wonderful way of connecting with the kids, making sure every student feels respected, seen, and heard. They balance structure with encouragement, taking the art seriously while keeping classes enjoyable and engaging. One of the mottos on the wall says, “Don’t practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t get it wrong.” I love this mindset and even remind my son of it at home.

I’m truly impressed with the skills he’s learned and how dedicated he is to his training. He looks forward to every class and carries the values of respect, kindness, and self-love beyond the studio. I honestly can’t recommend Meyerland Martial Arts and their amazing staff enough.

As a bonus, we even hosted his birthday party here—and it was phenomenal! My son was thrilled to celebrate in a place he loves, and the staff made it such a smooth, memorable experience. I barely had to lift a finger, not even kidding! If you’re looking for a unique experience, I would recommend inquiring about parties here!! It was a huge success and I was blown away by their efforts to make my son’s special day so exciting.

This is an honest review from a very grateful mom who’s thankful for the positive influence, mentorship, and community at Meyerland Martial Arts. I hope you check them out too!“

“I’ve had an amazing experience at Cho’s Taekwondo school! The instructors are not only highly skilled in Tae Kwon Do but also incredibly patient, encouraging, and supportive. They do a great job of balancing discipline with fun, which keeps students of all ages engaged and motivated.

The classes are well-structured, with a clear focus on building technique, confidence, and physical fitness. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance to higher belt levels, the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to help you progress at your own pace.

What stands out most is the sense of community—everyone from the staff to fellow students is welcoming and respectful. My kids have grown tremendously in both skill and character since joining.

If you’re looking for a school that teaches authentic martial arts in a positive and professional environment, this is the place to go!“

“Integrity Kung Fu School is an excellent place ! The coach is incredibly caring and patient, making sure each student progresses at their own pace while still being challenged. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the training is both engaging and effective. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this school provides a great environment to learn and grow. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Had a Bday party here for a group of 7year olds. Couldn’t have been happier. Efficient, happy place with structure and a lot of fun for the Bday girl. Great staff who work hard for the kids to have a great time!“

“My kid loves the classes here. There are sparring classes and fun play time. It offers reasonable prices and the location suits us very well.“

“Good people here, the adult class has a mix of people new to Shotokan and those returning after a few years away. 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.“

“My children have been attending the KSW of Richmond for over 10 years. My oldest son is a Black Belt; his younger brothers hold Brown Belts. They love Mr. Robert and the Kuk Sool Won martial art, which is very comprehensive and involves effective techniques using both the upper and lower body. In addition to learning weapons, it teaches valuable life skills.

I have also practiced martial arts my entire life, holding two black Belts and one brown belt in other martial arts, and I can confidently say that Kuk Sool Won is a well-rounded martial art that can be practiced by individuals of all ages, from young children to seniors.

Lastly, I would like to express my special appreciation for Mr. Robert, whose dedication and passion for teaching his students are commendable. He emphasizes the importance of discipline, respect, and hard work—essential principles not only for any serious martial arts but also for success in life.

I definitely recommend the KSW of Richmond.“
