My son started taekwondo lessons about a month ago. He is a teenager, and I was very skeptical…read moreabout him starting lessons so late in adolescence. Most kids start at 5 or so. This is abundantly apparent with most kids in his white belt classes. My apprehension of him taking classes have now subsided because of his wonderful instructors. I realized it really doesn't matter who is in class with him. It all comes down to who is teaching him. The Vasquez family has made all the difference in my son's taekwondo journey. The husband and wife team of Master Vasquez and his wife are the ying and yang of teachers. Master Vasquez focuses on respect and technique of the martial arts. He repeatedly reminds students to coordinate and harmonize his or her own mind and body. Mrs. Vasquez (who is also called Master Vasquez) is patient and kind to all her students. I have witnessed on several occasions her showing kindness and empathy to struggling learners. She is defiantly a teacher that has the virtue of great patience. Their son, Julian, has probably made the biggest impact on my son's learning of the martial art. I think he's really just made a connection with his instructor which is what all parents hope for their child. I'm excited to see what's in store for my son as he continues down his taekwondo journey. What I do know is that he is in good hands.

Despite attending training for a considerable period, there has been little to no aggressive or…read moreprogressive coaching. 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.

Our child has been attending karate here for over 3 years. We initially picked it because it was…read moreclose to our house, however we couldn't have found a better fit for our child. The owner is incredibly caring, but stern. He is truly the third party our child needs to help keep him accountable. I highly recommend this dojo.

Recently moving from SoCal and a much larger studio where my girls had spent many years in Shotokan…read moreKarate we wanted to stay in the same style but were apprehensive about the limited choices and concerned about the class/ instruction dynamic. However, after one class we were convinced this was the place for us. But, I wanted to give it some time to make sure it was a fair and honest review. Here is the scope: Senseis Lee and Matt are incredible and passionate about their instruction which shows in every aspect of their teaching style. Not only are my children stepping up their game and performing strongly but one can see that the children in their class feel a connection to the art as presented by the instructors and are progressing at a solid pace. The instructor-student dynamic is very engaging, and all students regardless of ability are treated with an equal amount of compassion, discipline, and respect which results in every class being a fun and serious karate training season that my girls look forward to attending. Classes are unlimited and scheduled throughout the week which is nice considering our schedule and +20 miles we must drive each way to attend (for us it is worth it). There are no high-pressure sales tactics or crazy 6 + month commitments like some other place (we have looked at a few). Bottom line if you are considering Karate or any martial art for that matter seriously take a look at this studio. It is a great experience on every level!

He appropriately holds his students to high standards and engages them in a way that makes them want to meet those standards. You will learn real skills, re self discipline here. Master Kim is patient and gives each student attention. He works with individual needs. He has a great team and Ms.Henley is very supportive and friendly. She works well with Master Kim rounding out the entire experience for the class. You're not a number here. You're a team member! Adding to this review: we are almost 1 year into this experience and again couldn't be happier and looks like we will be renewing the membership. We'll keep you updated. Our 10 year old son has long term goals with this program that he has developed on his own and hopes to be an instructor here some day.

The other instructors there are amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful and very patient... Would not choose any other ATA around. I know there's a lot to choose from.

If Southlake location works better for you, I would recommend for you to attend or have your children attend there.

We had tried out another place but for this age group it was just throwing a ball around and not really learning Tae Kwon Do. But here they are really learning moves and rules.

You won't regret it.
