This is far more than kicks and punches. It's a program that builds strength, character, and focus. As an official Olympic sport, Taekwondo is a highly technical martial art. Practicing the sport with the right coach sharpens athlete's concentration, academic skills, work ethic, and perseverance. Many top performers at Team Ascend also excel academically. USA Taekwondo formally recognizes student-athletes for outstanding scholastic achievement. Master Jimmy Duong is a world-class coach who excels in both training national team members and growing beginners into strong and confident athletes. Ascend athletes consistently earn medals at the US Open, US Nationals, US Grand Prix and Texas State competions. Master Jimmy's coaching acumen enabled his students to secure highly competitive spots on Team USA and Team Texas in recent years. Ascend is a part of the nationwide Global Athletes United (GAU) network, giving students a chance to train, compete, and grow alongside peers across the country. Ascend team culture fosters athletic excellence while teaching how to succeed together. Highly recommend!

I bumped into the owner (TKD & BJJ Black Belt instructor) Jimmy Holmes before they opened this new location as I was peering through the windows after getting a coffee next door. I ended up getting a full tour of the facility & the plans for their use of the back building to be a competition/tournament sized mat space with a weight training setup as well. It is a beautiful facility, they're still doing upgrades here & there, but my favorite little fact about it is that the dumbbell rack in the back goes all the way up to 150lbs!! They offer a great selection of youth classes with a mix of high level men & women instructors. The team, THE TEAM!! They have competition medal winners across the board in martial arts & a great team atmosphere! Boys, girls, men, women, tons of competitors & winners, but minimal ego. Personally, I was only living here while I completed an internship for my degree program, but they've been very welcoming & accommodating during my short stay with them. I look forward to visiting in the future & getting some rolls in on a Sunday Open Mat or Warrior Wednesday where we just roll 10 rounds in lieu of a structured BJJ class. All love, I'll be back!

My child loves this place…read more The Little Tigers program at Master Hong's is a super fun, well structured, and non-monotonous taekwondo class for kids ages 4 to 6. (They have classes for children, teens, and adults as well.) It's a half hour packed with action for the kiddos. I like that it is fast-paced, so little ones - like mine - don't have time to get too distracted, and they are definitely not bored. Master Hong, Master Lee, and the third Master (whose name I am not sure of!) are terrific. I see each Master as an excellent, caring teacher, encouraging strength and respect in the children. They have stretching exercises and fun, varied activities as well as lessons on techniques - stance, punching, kicking... I see this as definitely improving my child's motor skills and agility as well as building her esteem and self confidence... And respect for others. She's doing better with listening and following instruction/obedience. Most importantly, she's happy, exercising, and learning something new that she really enjoys. The facility is clean and well organized. Meeting with Master Hong to discuss programs before we attended a class immediately put us at ease and he understood any special concerns/accommodations we had. We are happy to support Master Hong and enroll our child here. The place has a great vibe. The kids all seem happy. And many have awesome skills!!

If you're looking for a martial arts school in the Woodlands area, look no further! Kuk Sool Won of…read moreThe Woodlands is a long-established, professional, and truly outstanding martial arts school. School owner Joe Foster has been training in Kuk Sool Won for over 40 years, and it shows. His depth of knowledge is exceptional and far beyond what you'll find at most martial art schools. Even more impressive is his attention to detail and the genuine care he shows for every student who walks through the door. The instruction is structured, professional, and rooted in tradition, while still creating a supportive and encouraging environment for students of all ages. If you want traditional martial arts training from someone with decades of experience and passion for teaching, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Over the last 10 years, our son has developed the "mindset" to over come obsticals, the "heart" and soul to never give up, and the "courage" to try harder and push through both on and off the floor. Martial arts has given our children an amazing foundation, and skill set. We love of Kuk Sool Won family.

I came to watch my friend's son have a belt grading on a Saturday and I was amazed at how many kids…read more(and a few adult students) were at the event. The kids were all very well behaved and seemed as though they really enjoyed the event. I have not been to a normal class but it seems the instructors all know the children by their names and are all very nice! When I was a child, I also went to similar martial arts courses but they were not as large and as fun as the class that Cho was giving. I envied the small children having so much fun with each other and with the instructors. I believe this would be a great place for your little ones (or yourself) to come take courses. The venue is quite large in which there are 3 rooms with various equipment. They have mirrors in one room which I assume the children use to watch themselves while they are learning moves. The lounge area has a few couches where the parents and visitors can have a seat and watch the students. They even have three stalls where you can change. I was quite impressed by the one visit. Check it out if you or your child is interested in learning martial arts with some fun instructors.

Horrible experience at this facility. I'd give this rating ZERO stars if it was an option. The…read moreabsolute only thing good about this facility is the owner Mr. Cho. Mr. Cho is an honest, kind man and it's easy to see that he truly cares about the students. However Mr. Cho can't be everywhere at once. My kids were in the before & after school program and the lady who is responsible for that side of the business is horrible !!! Her name is Ms. Key and she is the one who would get the kids late to school, she's not patient and understanding that kids are kids. She would get my son to text me or my wife to see where we were at almost everyday when we were on the way to pick up our kids. We were never late picking up our kids so I have no clue why she would do that. The facility closes At 8:00 the childcare side closes at 6:30 we were alway there between 6:20-6:30 Never late ! The funny thing is when your child gets hurt by accident or another kid she nor her staff calls the parents it seems like they try to cover it up first. This lady also is a very big liar. She has to talk to all the parents everyday to tell them how bad their kids were. And if the kids weren't bad she'll make small stuff up. She'll continue to lie until she gets caught up in it and you confront her about it. Her assistant named Emily calls kids "little shits" and none of this is made up Ms. Key told us herself that Emily said that. After hearing bad reports everyday we got tired of it and just took our kids back to the daycare that they were at before joining taekwondo.

Coach Eduardo and Coach Johnny are both extremely talented at figuring out if a kiddo understands or doesn't and then explaining a move or idea again until it clicks for them. Our 5 year old just completed the trial period and already has learned quite a bit! I'm extremely impressed. It feels safe and welcoming. And they have great seats for the parents and a great air conditioning system too, lol.
