I've been going here for 15yrs and had my son in the kids program as well. It's an excellent school…read morewith a variety of classes (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai Boxing, Wrestling) and has several class times to choose from every day of the week/weekends. The gym is very family oriented, has 2 bathrooms, a shower, weight room, boxing ring, about 8-10 punching bags and seating areas to watch the classes. A lot of the members have been here for awhile and even earned their black belts from Tery Corkran (owner) so not only do you have one of the original Dallas Machado black belts to learn and train from, but you also have many students who are now black belts and higher ranking to train with too. Most classes you can find at least 2-5 brown/black belts and theres also a good mix of ladies who train too. As far as the contract issues other reviewers have mentioned, it's really no different than other gyms. NTMMA is an established gym and a business. I've had the issue happen with other businesses like my tanning and yoga memberships and neither one refunded me for the 6months-year I forgot I was paying for but didn't use so I certainly wouldn't expect a different outcome from a similar contract. You have the option of not doing a membership but pay a little more so if you know you can't keep up with auto payments, choose the month to month or ask about paying the year up front for a discounted rate.

He usually groans about going to after school activities, but he is ALWAYS excited for Taekwondo! I think this is because he gets to be himself, feel powerful and in control, but also feel like a BIG kid following directions and discipline during his lesson. We love opportunities such as tournaments and camps to further enhance his experience. Master Kim & his protégés know how to keep kids engaged and happy. Shout out to Andrew who goes out of his way to help Ryan feel comfortable when he gets a bit shy.

Steve is the best martial arts teacher I have ever had. He is able to teach at every level from…read morebeginner to advanced. Many instructors are able to show basic technique, but Steve always has extra strategic nuggets of info that make all the difference. Steve also pays attention to his students while they are training and will drop by to make corrections during drills/training. This makes a huge difference because a student could be off balance, using incorrect posture the entire class and have not been aware, this personal instructor attention makes all the difference. I have seen many instructors that just demo a technique, but pay no attention to the actual students delivery and/or retention, so Steve is is an extremely high quality instructor that cares about his work in my opinion. As well, anywhere Steve goes he always has good vibes, and builds positive community feeling around him. He's also quite funny and makes good jokes. He attracts high quality students that are a joy to train with, and also you can get in some serious work at the same time. The vibe at a gym is pretty important, you don't want to go to a gym full of slackers where you feel uninspired but you also don't want to go to a gym where you feel out of your league and you can't learn, can't relax, etc. I followed him to this gym from another gym when he started it because I had such good experiences and such good results training under Steve.

It's made them more active, and more aware of their own capabilities as individuals. Scott and Julie Mischke (and their team!) go WAY beyond at every opportunity not just providing a great service and business to the community but also showing their students that they don't have to settle for "just enough", they can go beyond as well! My oldest son even says everyone there is his second family. They prove it every day.

Lantana Taekwondo is more than a school, it's a community.

The instructors give students the tools they need to improve every single class -- and the tools they need to improve at home when practicing on their own as well! Many of the adult students and families welcome each other as new friends (not just as fellow students), which has made the studio a second home for many of us. I cannot sing their praises enough.

Star Jujitsu has been such a gift for our family! In just 2.5 months, my 4-year-old daughter has…read moreabsolutely blossomed. Her confidence has taken off, she's learning so much, and the discipline she's picked up is showing in the sweetest ways at home. She loves Coach Cain, Coach Yousef, her classmates, and looks forward to every Tuesday and Thursday like it's a holiday. And let's be honest -- teaching a room full of 4-6-year-olds is basically the martial arts version of herding caffeinated kittens. But these two coaches do it with so much patience, passion, and skill that it truly feels like magic. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in the way these kids grow under their guidance. I'm beyond grateful we found this place, and I'm so impressed I'll be joining soon myself! Thank you, Coach Cain and Coach Yousef, for everything you pour into these little warriors. You're making a real difference, and we appreciate you more than you know.
