When I found Champion GTMA, I reached out and received a nearly immediate response. Mrs. V chatted back and forth with me, answering my questions and encouraged me to bring the boys to give it a shot. When I brought my kids up to try a class, they were met with kindness, excitement and encouragement and their little nerves were gone fast. Since that day, we rarely miss a class. My boys are challenged, held accountable, encouraged, and loved on during every class. The small classes are exactly what we hoped for and we appreciate and love the attention and focus our kids receive from their teachers. Highly recommend.

He now has confidence, respect for himself and others, and a passion to keep learning. I saw the review that knocked them for not responding quick enough, and based on the timing I'm betting that was in the midst of COVID. We were all doing the best we could - show some grace. I feel very thankful to have found this place for their classes and the after school care program. Thank y'all so much!!!

Red Tiger Karate is hands-down the best karate program that we found for our son after shopping the…read moreother programs around north TX. The program has completely transformed our son, who was frequently bullied at school. He now has the confidence to better-deal with stress, and is better at accepting 2nd place too, because the program teaches the students about training not only their bodies, but also their mind and spirit. The teachers are super-approachable, and have certainly answered every question we have had. I am puzzled about the previous reviews, because those comments are completely opposite of our experiences. I recommend Red Tiger without reservation! It has done wonders for our son and for us as a family.

They also offer their classes at affordable prices that don't break the piggy bank and have an introductory class for around $10 for 5 weeks to see if you or your child will like TKD. I suggest this place over any other place!

For those who know me, I preached Kenpo. I was a 2nd Degree Brown Belt, and I was ready to test for…read more1st Degree at the time I was shelved. I just needed to polish my staff set. I had already stripe tested everything else. I put in dozens of hours volunteering. I was on payroll for a while as well, as an asisstant instructor in the sparring program. I *loved* sparring, and I *loved* teaching it. My constant gushing about Kenpo led several folks to either sign themselves or their children up. Last year I was diangosed with cancer and my doctors told me I needed to take a break. The owner told me to take care of myself and not to worry, they would be there for me when I was ready. Fast forward 9 months. My cancer was in remission and I was ready to return. When I reached out to the owner he told me he was excited to have me back, and told me I could come back at the "new member rate". I'll save you from a ton of math here, but the short of it is my kids and I attended for $391. This included unlimited classes, sparring, sticks, etc. The new rate would be $1200 a month for each of us to attend one class per week. When I expressed that this was out of my budget, he told me I could just end my daughter, and I could sit in the stands and "watch". At this point I reminded him that he had promised to hold my rate, and sent him screen shots of the conversation. I wasn't angry. I just wanted him to realize I wasn't asking for special treatment here. After 7 years of attending that school, when I was told I could return at that rate, I was shocked when he blew me off. At this point he basically just stopped responding to me. When i made a facebook post and tagged the the studio and explained what happened, he simply blocked me. His way of dealing with his lies is to block me and ignore me. After 7 years of considering that studio to be a part of my family. He is unhinged these days. He literally just posted about how one of the schools he workls with "doesn't understand him" because he told them he was going to put there account on hold due to low membership. They couldn't believe he would act this way after working with him for ovger 15 years, so they asked him to leave. All he cares about is money these days. Please stay away. This is not a place where you learn martial arts. This is a palce where you buy a belt, if you can afford it.

I first learned about Grand Prairie Karate Academy from a flyer advertising an introductory class…read morethere. My son had lost interest in baseball and we were looking for something to keep him exercising. I was a little concerned when I drove to the gym. It is not in the best of neighborhoods,and the strip mall it was in was more than a little run-down. Meeting one of the black-belt instructors - Bryan Higgins - put my mind at ease, however. GPKA has been operating for more than thirty years in Grand Prairie at this same location. Attend a belt test there and you will see a full panel of black belts that reads like a who's who of Texas Karate. Two years later, and I can't think of life without GPKA. I joined shortly after my son did and am now a brown belt there. The instructors are top notch, and the gym is owned by a legend of Texas Karate - Dr. Brax Boyd - a man who counts Chuck Norris as a long-time friend and professional associate. Classes are for everyone - boys, girls, young, old, disabled - you'll see them all. Its great exercise, great for coordination and flexibility, great to lose weight, and great fun. And you learn the art of self defense. There is no down side! So if you drive by and think the place looks run down, come in an experience the heart these folks possess. As the author Larry Niven once said, mutts may not win any dog shows, but they usually beat the winners in a fair fight. If you want the prettiest gym, go somewhere else. If you want to learn karate, and to fight with the best of them, this is your place.

It really threw me back and I started searching for Song Choe. I was saddened to learn of his passing so early in life. He was a virtuous soul and strict instructor and not only taught the art, but also morals, honor, integrity and God. I'll never forget "toenail inspection" wherein we lined up and Song Choe would walk by and check your toenails. If they were too long, he'd mash your toe with a cane! He would yell "You cut you toenail! You cut somebody!" Well, after i saw the first toe smashed, I made sure mine were perfect LOL! Unfortunately, I had to stop going due to life but my brother continued to achieve his 1st dan. The point is, although I can't speak of the college as it is today, I know that Song Choe's legacy is still very much alive and well. I have deep respect for him and I know his successors do too and are passing on his teachings, not just the art, but leading a clean life as well.
