I have been in and around martial arts my whole life. I have trained in various styles such as;…read moreShotokan, Judo, Moo Duk Kwon, Tong Soo Do and now Tae Kwon Do. I never really felt at home anywhere until I met the instructors at Hwang Martial Arts. Our family wanted to start but we did not have much money to spend. Their plans were the most reasonable around. I quickly found out that at Hwang Martial Arts it is not just another self defense school; it is a life changing experience! They teach that it is not just about self defense, but that it is about a change in how you live your life and act on a day to day bases. Furthermore, they are an integral part of all their students' lives. It does not matter whether your favorite is Mr. Chris, Mrs. Stacy, Mr. Weeks or Mr. Hall because they all have true interests in their student's lifestyle and health. Over the past 3 years my children have grown and learned that martial arts' training is about oneself, their achievements, both in class and in public school. Because the business is a family owned and operated we have grown to be good friends with the Weeks' and all the other instructors there. I would not trust my family and especially my kids with anyone else. There is no doubt in my mind that joining here has made a huge positive impact on our lives! Scott Stephenson

My boys were always interested in martial arts, but, as a single mom, I always assumed I couldn't…read moreafford it. I had a membership to a gym right next to Hwang Martial Arts and passed by it every day, not certain of whether we could just go in. Finally, we visited them. My boys were very interested and I was unsure. When we sat down and discussed this, I found Hwang Martial Arts to be very affordable. Not only that, but my children had no male role model in their lives at all. Now they have incredible male teachers, who demand respect, but at the same time, give positive motivation, teaching the kids the most important principals of being a solid person. Not only did my kids take advantage of Tae Kwon Do, but I attended the Muay Thai classes for fun and exercise. I had no idea that Mr. Weeks and Mr. Hall would change my perspective completely on physical fitness and how much my mind, body and spirit require physical exercise. My confidence level was very low when we started and I didn't see anything extraordinary about myself. All of that has changed drastically in just a year. Now, when I talk about my life, about fighting techniques and working out, people are very intrigued. My passion and zeal for life have skyrocketed. I went from being another single mom to being an extraordinary, tough woman nicknamed "Killer". I've lost a lot of fear in going places with my children, and gained a lot of confidence in my ability to defend my family in an aggressive situation. In short, just going to these classes has changed my entire life. It opened me up to receive positive things that I believe are coming to me because of my increased confidence level and better perspective. Such a small step, but what a huge difference it has made in the quality of our lives! The Longs Joy, Bethani, Garrett and Jeffri Reilly

When I started this journey almost 5 years ago, I wasn't sure how long I'd last. Fast forward to now, I haven't lost interest nor desire to learn. It's such a challenging and rewarding past time to me that it's all about the learning and never the belt. The environment at Keller Elite Martial Arts is positive. People are helpful and encouraging. Some of the best people around. The head instructor Roberto is extremely skilled, practicing all that he preaches. He is there on the mat rolling with everyone and working out with newcomers. He teaches well but more importantly he troubleshoots well. It is difficult to find a skilled practitioner who is also able to visualize how you are attempting to follow but missing something. BJJ is not for everyone but if you are up for a challenge and are looking to improve your fitness, there is nothing better. And Keller Elite is a great place to boot up this experience for you.

But I will say this…read moreschool right here Texas Storm Kenpo Karate as a young student at the time I was able to learn not only self defense and not to use my knowledge that I learned as a toy. I learned a lot more then that I learned self discipline, respect, and how to be independent. Not only were they my instructors they became more than just friends. They became family to us. Still to this day when I walk into the dojo I feel like I'm walking into my own home always getting that warm greeting welcome. This is by far my one and only karate school I will ever go too. I'm getting my kids ready to go to their school in the near future so they can have the exact knowledge and connection I have with the pipers and their school. Texas Storm Kenpo Karate is a black belt school they are motivated and dedicated and they are there to do there best and be there best!

I went here a few weeks ago for a belt test for my friend. I've always found martial arts very…read moreinteresting and I've even lived in Japan for part of my life. This Kenpo school seemed very intense vs some of the other martial arts that I've witnessed and been involved with, I worked for a Muay Thai instructor for about two years. Any way. While I know there are differences in the schools of thought and the level of discipline that is needed in each practice I always knew there to be one thing in common. Respect. Respect for the 'class room, the art, the student, the teacher, just through and through everything was based on respect. I found it very concerning that this school didn't seem to follow that. They spoke of money openly and about their policies on their tests. Not unusual but they did it in a joking manner that I've know to only be associated with people who were clearly taking advantage of the individuals they were taking money from. This was after the conclusion of the belt test itself. As for the instructor himself, and I do apologize for the fact that I cannot remember his name just that he was the owner/founder/head instructor. Well I know belt tests can be rough, but there was a harshness that seemed to be contained by the man, like if there wasn't an audience and wasn't a live video going he would have been acting differently. That he was in himself restrained in what was his natural state. I hadn't intended to write any reviews but after over hearing a conversation between a mother and son tonight I felt a warning needed to be put out there. To protect the individuals involved I will not be using their names. However, while eating out tonight I couldn't help but over hear this family talking. When I inquired further I discovered that tonight it appears that the instructor called one of his students out to the front of the class. From what I gathered this isn't unusual. But he then proceeded to curse out, berate, and threaten to have his 'black belts come in and beat this students ass' and then kick out seemingly ban this student over what appeared to be a comment they made on social media that the instructor didn't agree with. I called my friend who attends this school and he admitted that he isn't surprised that this happened. While I can appreciate the idea that one is responsible for what One posts on a social media site -such as Yelp, Twitter, or Facebook- there is no reason for someone in a leadership, instructor role to do that. Publicly shaming someone who had put their trust in that person's leadership. From what I gather this follows more of the unprofessional and what now seems to be abusive behavior and I will not be allowing my children to attend this school.
