Instructor is a professional fighter and is very knowledgeable and respectful, as well as everyone else in the gym. No egos, just straight work.

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.

Min Hur's Taekwondo Academy has been a blessing for my son. He started just over two years ago and…read moreI have seen him grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. The Grand Master really cates about the students of all ages and his instructors are top notched. They make sure that the students grow in taekwondo but also as young men and women. I would recommended this to any parent looking for a activity for their children or even for themselves.

I have been attending Brazilian Jujitsu Classes here for almost a year now and I can honestly say…read morethis has been my favorite fitness/training establishment. I wrestled in the past and I tried many Jujitsu establishments before I found this one. The coaches make the classes engaging and they break down the moves, so anyone at any skill level would be able to understand. Every training partner is friendly and welcoming. This place breeds positivity. Aloisio Silva also participated in tournaments/completion which gives you the option to scratch that competitive itch without making it mandatory for the students. My daughter isn't old enough to participate in the kids courses, but I often will see the kids Bjj classes end before the adult ones begin. It looks like a safe and fun environment. I will be enrolling my little one when she's grown some. If you're looking for a place to train I would highly recommend coming here!

Awesome place and Awesome coache. My wife found this place for my daughter and she's loved it ever…read moresince. She has been there for a few months that even I decided to also join. Coach Eric's instructions are very broken down and easy to follow. I never felt that he's pressured anyone or made anyone feel incapable. He actually has a very opposite effect and makes you feel like you can learn it all with time and practice. I'm glad my wife found this place. My daughter has improved a lot during her time here. She's just competed in the NAGA novice tournament and brought home first place in no-GI and second in GI. Really proud of her and the coaches for teaching her so well.

He know the system backwards and forwards, can show how it works, and can explain how it works for you. Sifu Mullen's lineage is top notch, and his sifu, Bill Graves, maintains steady communication with Sifu Mullen's kwoon, from Florida to Arlington, Texas. Take the time to contact Sifu Mullen. The system and the lineage are solid, and Scott is as good as they come.

Open Tue, Wed & Thur nights. Closed Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. Sometimes the instructor does not show up…read moreor is in his office during class trying to sell classes to new customers. The building leaks water & the A/C frequently does not work. Charges for belt tests & promotions. Good traditional Karate, but only open 3 nights a week is what makes this 2/5 stars. Tue & Thur is beginning, intermediate, then "advanced" (involves mostly socializing during the advanced class). Wed is very light sparring or weapons. Again, only open 3 days a week, Tue - Thur, closed Fri - Mon, no weekends available. It is quite dangerous working out in an aluminum building during summer when the A/C is out, people have passed out before. The water leaks are continuous & have caused moldy spots on the wood floor. The instructor is excellent, however he is getting older and his students (both regular & private who pay extra) have left, leaving it hard to keep the doors open (They do yearly festivals and car washes to raise money). This is why it is only open 3 nights a week (it used to be 5 days). If you have children, this might be a great place to start because of the lack of time required, then if he/she is serious move on to another school (that is what most of his students do). My daughter attended classes briefly when she was younger and loved it, but she wanted to put more time into martial arts and we moved on. The instrutor is a great guy, however, I have to be honest, 2/5 is appropriate. Have a great day.

My son started classes at Dr. Flury's school about a year and a half ago. He was about 3 1/2 years…read moreold when he began his training. His classes were on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. The classes were adequate, but many times, the instructors were late arriving to the Saturday morning classes and we (and the other students and parents) were left waiting in the parking lot until the instructor(s) arrived, set up, and began class sometimes as much as 10 minutes late. Yet there was no make-up time and we were still charged full price for the 30-minute class. The Wednesday classes were respectable until Dr. Flury began her "After School All-Stars" program. When this began, as many school-age children were crowded in behind a curtain for their class while my son's class was held on the other side of the curtain. (Dr. Flury's last boast to my knowledge was that the program had 71 kids enrolled.) It is hard enough to keep children of 4-5 years old focused, much less in an environment as chaotic as this became. My son's class would sometimes respond to the commands given to the after-school program instead of the ones given by their instructors because they could not hear - I couldn't either! I pulled my son out of the Wednesday class because we both were not happy - it was HIS choice. He is finishing up his 6-month contract for the remaining Saturday classes. We have joined a different Taekwondo academy and my son is very happy there. Also, don't be fooled by the "Parents' Night Out" events - I trusted this academy with my son for a "Superhero Showdown" evening. He came home almost in tears. Almost all of the kids there were older and piled onto him - he is very articulate and would not make this up. It might be okay for kids at the older end of the spectrum, but it certainly wasn't appropriate for a 5-year-old. I contacted Dr. Flury about my concerns, and she did correct the problem with the instructors' Saturday tardiness, but other than that, this place continues to pack as many children as possible into a space that cannot accommodate them. It's as though Dr. Flury doesn't care about anything but the almighty dollar - we only saw her on graduation days (it is my understanding that she only works with the older, higher-ranking students) when the younger students were given their new belt rankings, which were not necessarily earned by skill, only by number of classes attended. The Grand Master at my son's new academy is always present, usually teaching the classes, and has plenty of well-qualified assistants. Any "pro's" I had regarding Dr. Flury's school are gone. The "con's" are many. Your child will be taught for the most part by students, the mats are FILTHY (one of my son's former instructors even admitted that they didn't know how long it had been since the mats had been cleaned), the student-to-teacher ratio has been as high as 14:1 (again, we are talking about 3-4 year-olds), there are no options for make-up classes, the academy is governed by the school district (you will pay full price for NO class if it's a school holiday) and there are many more issues I had that Dr. Flury was not willing to bend upon. We are finished here, and I know we are not the only ones that have left due to unacceptable circumstances.

The instructors are amazing; I joined a month ago and have learned more than I could have imagined…read more You receive instruction from coaches who are skilled, patient, and personable. I did my due diligence before joining, I visited classes throughout the area all they way to Bishop Arts and found my home here. When it comes to classes, disciplines and coaching you can't go wrong.

The Gym is a really great place to work out and to learn a lot from some of the great instructors…read moreand owners there. The two brothers Matt and Ryan are very welcoming, approachable and fun, but also tough in the best way possible to keep you motivated to want to push yourself to the limit. The Gym has a classic style feel to with some aspects of the weight equipment but also has some great up to date MMA style gear and areas where you can learn and practice. I highly recommend The Gym for those who want to get a solid workout in, wanna learn some self-defense or looking for personal training assistance. The Trainers there will make you feel welcome but they will push you! This gym has all that you need!
