“Coach Lucas is incredible🙌🏽 We have been with Rockstar Martial Arts for the past couple of years, and it has been amazing to watch my son transform from shy to confident and genuinely happy.

Coach Lucas has helped guide my son to become comfortable with who he is while teaching him how to defend himself both physically and mentally.

His positive influence and genuine care extends far beyond the mats, helping build confidence, discipline, and resilience that carry into everyday life.

We are truly grateful for everything Coach Lucas and Sarah at Rockstar Martial Arts have done for our family, and we look forward to continuing this journey for years to come.

Jujitsu really is more than martial arts, it’s a way of life.“

“Shaolin Wu-Yi Institute, has been a amazing journey for my 1st year as a student who is learning Martial arts. This school has been amazing ! And all the teachers and patient with the students and guide them to their journey. I want to honor my teachers who has been teaching me for 1 year and making me the best self I could become today, from the start of my journey when I became a white belt I was scared and afraid of everything what was around me, but instead a came with warm welcomes from everyone and the community, teaching me my rights and wrongs and helping me become stronger! I was struggling with being bullied by the age of 5 to 10 years old. But my dad who was a brown belt in martial arts had enough seeing me weak and tired and decided to enroll me to this school! I couldn’t thank you enough what my teachers have taught me from heart to soul I thank my teachers for making me feel better and more confident about myself; without being in Shaolin Wu-Yi Institute I wouldn’t be able to do nothing in life. Thank you for helping me through out my 1st year in your school.

“Coming in as someone with no martial arts experience, I felt comfortable from the jump. The staff, coaches and students were all very welcoming, respectful, and helpful.

Muay Thai classes have been enjoyable and rewarding, and I look forward to them every week.“

“World Champion Tyquendo has been such an incredible experience , from their very first class, the instructors made my son feel genuinely welcome, supported, and motivated to push themselves.

They focus the kids on the importance of fitness, safety, mental toughness, and of course self-defense and awareness. They are patient in their teachings but hold students accountable. You must earn it and show you are committed to practice and bettering yourself. Highly recommend. My daughter has been there a year now and never wants to skip a class. She gets excited.“

Thank you for everything!“

“There are so many activities for kids, and we are so thankful we stumbled into martial arts with Power Kenpo Karate. Logistically, with two studios and flexible scheduling in the member app, it is convenient. The community they created is amazing - weekly lessons, tournaments, PNOs, camps and the annual Trunk-or-Treat. EVERY instructor is fully invested in the success and overall well-being of each student, even the challenging, high-energy kids like our son! They are passionate and truly know how to engage and balance discipline, learning and fun. The skills and lessons our five-year-old son is gaining transcend the mat and will carry him for many years to come. Leadership, responsibility, commitment, respect, confidence, compassion.. thank you for being a positive inspiration to all of us!“

“I've been going to this dojo for over 2 years now, my kids were one of the first to get their youth/teen black belts here and they continue to train because of the AMAAZING instructors.

Mr. Olson writes the curriculum, with self- defense taught in every class!

Mr.Malone, Mr.Caseres and Mr.Gonzalez have their unique styles, and give personalized instruction even during group lessons.
Sometimes there are multiple instructors in a class - so dynamic and fun!

I can't say enough good things - character traits for each month, skill sheets, parents nights out, in-school tournaments, and a top notch leadership program.

The instructors are so warm and kind.
With TX martial arts, anyone will enjoy learning martial arts, no matter your age or skill level.“

“Top notch facility and great instructors. If you’re in the Coppell area this place is highly recommended.“

“Our grand daughter Misha has been attending classes here and absolutely loves it. We've been so impressed with the positive changes we've seen in her; she has learned discipline, focus, and respect, and she's completely dedicated to her practice. She looks forward to her class every single week and is determined to improve and work toward earning new stripes and belts.
Im very impressed with Grandmaster & Master Dennis patience and dedication in making a positive impact and a fantastic place for kids and adults. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to start their martial arts journey in a supportive and friendly environment.“

“My daughter has been going to sidekicks for 9 years, and she now has a first degree black belt and almost ready for her second degree. Sidekicks martial arts has helped her grow not only physically, but mentally. She started as a little dragon, learning with other kids, and sidekicks is now like a family to her. The environment is warm and welcoming, and the instructors put all their effort in your child. My younger son has followed the elder sister and is now a red belt. He has been in sidekicks for almost 4 years now. I would strongly recommend sidekicks for an amazing karate experience.“

“This place is something else. Teaching kids on how to react on the street where there are no rules, yet enough discipline to know right from wrong. Love this place! Paul is amazing.. Fun with the kids, but still finds a way to push them to their potential.“

“Wonderful studio with amazing instructors!! The owner Steve Tapper is phenomenal ?“

“I remember him from college as we talked about my Master Chang Peo. HP (Ahn) said he new him well. Years, later, a friend of mine of caring for a young man and he was in Anh's class. His self esteem increased along with his discipline !“
