The Round Rock TaeKwondo is affiliated with the Tiger Rock program. They have several locations in the Austin area and membership to one allows you to take classes at any of their locations. They offer TaeKwondo, Jiu Jitsu, grappling and Yoga classes for toddlers to adults. We have been here for almost a month now. This is location is owned by Mr. Toohey and run by his wife, both are super friendly. Mr. Toohey is very good with kids. He is firm, yet nurturing. He has their respect and they look forward to coming to class everyday. I have never seen my boys so excited to go anywhere. They are even cleaning their rooms and practicing piano just so they can go to TaeKwondo. The new location is much larger, with large viewing windows and a separate room for their after school care. The family membership is a great deal so my husband and I are going to try their Jiu Jitsu program. If you are looking for a great martial arts program in a family-friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend this location.

In just six weeks, I've gained confidence, improved my fitness, and seen benefits in hiking, running, and even how I focus at home and at work. Keep reading for my full experience below. _________________ I've been training at Martial Athletes for about six weeks, attending striking with Coach Cannon, Jiu-Jitsu with Coach Freddy, and HIIT with Coach Maria. From day one, the gym has been welcoming, encouraging, and energizing. I'm a woman in my 40s with a background in weightlifting and CrossFit-style sports, and I was looking for a new challenge to get back to the fitness and confidence I once had. That mindset has helped me dive into these classes. These classes are challenging and real combat sports, not just cardio boxing. Don't let that be intimidating! Just something to keep in mind. Aside from watching Pride and UFC with my husband, I had virtually no martial arts experience before joining. Six weeks is still a short time in a martial arts gym, and my skill level definitely shows. It can be frustrating at times, but I keep showing up, and little by little, I'm improving. The coaches are incredible. They make you feel welcome no matter your skill level. They won't sugarcoat your abilities, but their feedback always comes from a place of honesty, patience, and kindness. The community is amazing, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you grow. Walking into the gym can feel intimidating at first, but by week three you will be hooked. You might wonder, if I'm still learning and not very good, what's the point? Here's a story. I love hiking, but I used to constantly look down, never fully trusting myself on the trail. On Christmas Eve, after just five weeks in class, I went for a long hike and found myself looking up, confident, and trusting my body and my feet. I was able to enjoy the golden hour sunset and take in the horizon instead of staring at the trail beneath me. I recently ran a full mile, something that may not sound impressive, but I did it without pain. Unlike weightlifting, my training here strengthens my joints and ligaments along with my muscles, so I don't experience the usual aches. Again, I ran with my head up, chasing the horizon instead of watching my feet. Striking and BJJ demand focus. You have to pay attention, follow your opponent, and anticipate what's coming next. This practice has also improved my active listening at home and at work. I thought I was a good listener before, but now I can tell I'm much more present. Coach Cannon, Coach Freddy, and Coach Maria, you are patient, skilled, and inspiring. I can't say enough about the gym and its community.

Only taking one star if you decide to come in as a sole adult. There are other programs that offer a much greater variety of days/time options, and greater variety of instructors if you are a lone adult, however, if you look to enroll your child or to train alongside your child, this appears to be a very good program, perhaps the best in the area. Also, Master Schill is an honorable person who gave me a refund after sign-up, since I was looking for a bit different program at the time as a solo adult. You can be sure that he will keep his word.

Yelp review Tiger…read morerock has been a great choice for an after school program for my kids. We wanted to do Martial Arts, and this place has several pros: -picks up my kids from their school (a charter school with fewer options than other schools in that regard). -reasonable prices and discounts on more than one child -they are friendly and fun teachers but also expect a lot from the kids -there is some downtime for kids to decompress from school (important for my kids' personalities); time for homework if needed, a TKD lesson, a workout, and some activities afterward available until parents pick up. -easy to contact with questions -if needed they also do camps for days off school (convenient) My kids are challenged here and really like working towards the various belt stripes and upcoming ranks. They have grown in confidence and some risk-taking in order to advance. I am pleased we signed up.
