As a result, the students still appear to be at the same skill level as they were on Day 1, with minimal improvement or development. I would appreciate a more structured and engaging training approach that helps students build their skills and confidence over time. Most of the time, the mentors do not appear to be actively supervising the children. They are often walking around without paying sufficient attention to the kids' behavior or correcting their mistakes. This lack of active engagement is disappointing and leaves me feeling unhappy with the overall supervision.

My 7 year old has been going here for a year and has learnt a lot in short span of time (is blue…read morebelt now ) . We tried 3-4 different places before narrowing down to Vasquez. What we love about this institute 1. Small family run institution, with 1:1 attention given to each child . A lot of other institutions are too big and commercial . Mr and miss Vasquez are very invested and approachable - I am able to discuss my child's progress and understand his growth areas at all points 2. A safe environment I can trust my kid with - a lot of staff dedicated to safety of kids and ensure all kids feel safe and respected 3. Nurturing a community , focus on life skills - they focus on teaching kids valuable life skills. Miss Vasquez particularly loves kids and she has built a community where everyone comes together to learn, play and celebrate!

Like today my kid had black belt practice session, which was held at Rowlett, TX. We were not communicated that the child had to be dropped there and parents can't even see them perform at practice. This is such an important piece of information that should have been communicated. We took our entire family for this and had planned out the day accordingly. But we were super disappointed and our child was crying end of the day as he was not mentally prepared to be left all alone there. Common white tiger takewondo u can do better

My daughter loves training at this Tiger Rock! The instructors (led by Mr. Thibodeaux) exhibit…read moreconfidence, leadership, and integrity. I've also witnessed an increase of self confidence, assertion, focus and ability to follow instruction, not only in my daughter, but from every single kid in our belt level classes. Some progress faster than others, but definitive progress is obvious none-the-less. The ability of these instructors to instill those actions in kids is beyond what I've seen in other youth programs. Now, on to cost as referred to by some other reviewers. Yes, it's expensive. However, you get to go to an unlimited number of classes so you get out of it what you put in. If you go once a week, you'll get once a week value. If you go more, then you'll get more for your investment and see a faster development of skill. Every business can improve, and Tiger Rock is not immune to benefit from a tweak here or there. For example, they really need to pro-rate months like December when they're closed for two weeks. And I witnessed one communication snafu. But overall, we find a lot of value and growth in this program and plan to continue for a long time. Certainly deserving of the 5 stars.

He has been going there for a little over a year now, and completed the Tiger Club program. He has now turned 6 and moved up to the white/yellow belt classes.

They offer classes all week long, and for a very low monthly tuition, you can attend as many as you like. My son is very excited to come home after class and show me the things he has learned. He was a bit of a hyper kid when he started, but I can definitely tell that he has matured through this program, and their instructors!!! They continue to impress us!! Highly recommend!

Although I'm sure there are many options for classes in the Frisco area, the professionalism, dedication, and kindness shown by Master Chris, Ms. Melissa and the rest of the staff is unsurpassed and I'm grateful that we have found such wonderful instructors.

A black belt means learning responsibility, dedication, respect, discipline and so much more. It has also helped me to stay physically fit and mentally focused. Taekwondo has also helped me with balance, coordination, and flexibility. I am in better shape and feel stronger due to taking Taekwondo. We do a lot of exercises, and that has helped me to stay healthy and strong. I am happy that I know how to defend myself. It has also provided me with social benefits and community. I have made a lot of new friends that i look forward to seeing every week. . I have put a lot of time and effort into training for my black belt test. I have trained several times a week for many years now. I've attended three different schools and learned a lot from all of them. I began Taekwondo when I was 7 years old. I attended a school in McAllen Texas called Bob Davies Taekwondo for about 3 years. At this school, I had a Blue belt with a black stripe. Then, I moved to Allen Texas, and joined Master Atkins Taekwondo school. At this school, I earned a Brown belt. That school closed down due to Covid-19 and never opened again. After that, I started attending the U.S. Taekwondo Academy. I have been at this school for about 4 years, and I will take a test for my black belt. During this time I have mastered different techniques. This shows all the dedication, and hard work I've put into training for my black belt. My school offers sparing, and disarms, twice a week. Disarms means to take away an object from your opponent or the person who is trying to harm you. Taekwondo has been in my life for 8 years and I am glad that I am finally going to test for my black belt.

Our 11 year old daughter who is on the brink of receiving her black belt at the USTA writes about…read moreher experience: "Earning my black belt at USTA is one of the proudest moments of my life. It's not just a belt to me - it is a symbol of all the hard work, and determination I've put in over the years. When I first started, I didn't know much about martial arts. I had a lot of admiration for the higher belts and the black belt students who I saw during belt promotions. But as I continued training, I realized it's about way more than just impressive moves. At USTA, they teach us to be strong not only on the outside, but on the inside too. I had to learn discipline, respect, and how to stay focused even when things get hard. There were times I wanted to give up, especially when I couldn't get a kick right. But my instructors, classmates, and family always encouraged me, and I kept going. The process of qualifying for my black belt has been super intense. I had to demonstrate excellence in everything I learned--forms, sparring, board breaking, and self-defense. I was anxious, but I am also ready. When I finally tie that black belt around my waist, I think it will feel like I can accomplish anything. As part of my practice, I help younger students and try to set a good example for them. USTA has taught me that being a black belt can be the beginning of a bigger journey. I'm excited to keep learning and growing. I know there will be more challenges ahead, but now I believe in myself. That's what earning a black belt at USTA means to me."
