Martial Arts Schools near Carrollton

“Coach Hicks and Coach Key are both very thorough and ensure that you understand every step of the process.“

“My children took karate here and the first thing I noticed was that by the second class, the instructors already knew their names. I was disappointed when my children decided that they didn't want to go anymore, because I knew that not only did this place teach them how to defend themselves, but also to be better human beings.

A few months ago, I decided to start my own journey of karate. I wasn't as concerned about learning self-defense as I was about setting and achieving goals while doing something active. It was refreshing to see an environment where higher belts teach lower belts and the students root for each other. In these divisive times, it's important to have a place where people are encouraging you to succeed and helping you along the way instead of tearing you down. This is that place for me.“

“I made the best decision for my little one, by enrolling her at Championship Martial Art. The Owen's Mr. and Mrs. Niels creating a great organization that is truly a family that cares for the children, Mr. Davis, Jennifer, Rachel and the many host of phenomenal instructions welcome us each and every time with kindness, encouragement, and great communication. I know we will be there many years to come, she is now a yellow belt with more confidence, strength, and knowledge as she proceeds to each level earning her achievements, she will excel mentally, physically, emotionally, and intellectually. I am excited for her growth and successes.“

“This is a kid/toddler friendly martial arts school. Starting from the ages of 4+. The school is well organized and structured. The instructors are very friendly and attentive.The beginners class (Dragons Class) ranges from ages 4-6. It is well designed to provide not only martial arts, but also to teach life lessons in becoming a good person. The classes are fun for the kids. A great way to utilize their energy in a safe environment.Classes are from Monday-Saturday. You attend two 30-minute classes a week during the designated time spots. Classes are separated by age groups and also by skill level.My son started around the age of 4. He was very timid and shy at first. It was a struggle to get him to participate in class, but with the help of the awesome instructor staff he overcome his fear. He definitely enjoys going to classes now, and has shown a ton of improvement since joining 9 months ago.“

“Amazing dojang, amazing instructors. My kids are not only practicing taekwondo but also acquiring a lot of good habits and important skills such as focus, self control, respect and discipline!“

“My daughter has done taekwondo here for five years now, from her very first class ever through her black belt. We have been very happy. The Master is an excellent teacher. He both challenges and supports the students, caring about developing both their taekwondo skills and their character. Their is a community feel and my daughter has many friends here. Highly recommend.“

“My daughter just loves it there. The classes are always fun and full of energy. Amazing staff, very professional and friendly. Nicely maintained premises. They also have an app to track progress , upcoming events, attendance and communication. Very responsive to texts too. Highly appreciate the team here. Keep up the great work.“

“Hello everyoneCobra jujitsu is one of the gyms that have the authenticity of the sport and the qualities that other gyms don’t. It has been god and destiny that put me in this wonderful place. The instructors are beyond professionals and the people that attend are welcoming and friendly. My time in this gym has been very knowledgeable and fulfilling to the sport. This gym is great to come in and learn the art of jujitsu, the discipline you learn, the experience of others and a great way to keep your health in track. I invite anybody different ages, genders, sizes and endangered humans. Cobra Bjj is the way!!!!!!! OSS!!!!“

“I've been learning here for a few months now and love it! The people are very supportive. I am in the adult group and I've been able to work around a very busy work and family schedule. I highly recommend this school for folks looking for a martial arts school.“

“I could not wish for a better place and a better group of people to learn American Kenpo and train with!“

“I would recommend this ATA to any family! (And I do) The instructors are amazing when they teach, they take their time to help all the students and answer their questions as well help the students out when they need help. Students and staff are amazing and friendly along with the parents that watch their kids will help if needed, such a easy-going environment. Family's GO TO THIS ATA!!“

“They worked with my oldest boy in a way that was so intentional and loving. REALLY appreciated Master Kim and his son. I could not be more appreciative!“

“My daughter relocated from Austin Karate school with Black belt and after an year she wanted to start learning Karate again as she was missing it, I enrolled her closer to home and it was just not a right fit for her and me, I did search and called Texas Karate Do (Brain) was super kind to answer all my questions. She loves this schools, this school is one of the best and they truly love their students and families. I am so blessed to be a part of Texas Karate Do! We will be here till she moves from Dallas and goes to college. They are the best! thankyou so much for positivity!“

“Had my child's birthday party here and it was pretty great!!! The hosts engaged with the kids and the kids loved it! Only thing I wish was like maybe 10-15 more minutes in the party room, 30 minutes is kinda rushing, but overall would definitely come back!“

“I spent a large portion of my life in martial arts. When moving to Dallas my daughters were finally of age to start them in Taekwondo. Unfortunately, the majority of martial arts dojos have become belt farms taught by inexperienced paper black belts that push kids through the belts regardless of if they are truly learning the discipline. I spent quite a few months scouring dojos until I came across Ahn's Taekwondo.Master Ahn has been teaching for decades and has been a master of the discipline the majority of his life. His brother also has a dojo a bit north of his. Master Ahn truly loves what he does, loves the kids, and loves taekwondo.My girls are very different in personality and maturity and he quickly identified their strengths and weaknesses. He works with them every class to overcome their weaknesses and expand on their strengths, while always helping them increase their confidence. He does this while continuing to challenge them.Most importantly this is not a belt farm. If kids are not ready to test, they don't test. If they didn't practice and don't pass their belt test (he gives them many chances to fix mistakes) then they don't pass their belt. They need to earn their achievements. However, when they do, he is the first to give them kudos, raise them up, and bring their confidence to all time high.He's tough, he cares, and he will help your kids grow physically, mentally, and emotionally.If you are looking for a true martial arts studio, this is the only place to be in Dallas!“

“Dropped in while visiting Dallas for work. The reviews don’t lie. This place is legit. Clean, friendly, great instruction and tough training partners. This was perfect after my 10 hour corporate workday. How do you recommend; 10/10“

“Well FB is throwing shade and won't let me post this as a review since I already reviewed DDA a while back, so Ima just leave this right here and write some reviews on Yelp and Google maybe. My 2 boys adore Sifu and all he teaches them. I hear "SIFU SAYS DON'T HIT" often - apparently Sifu is default authority over fighting. Suffice it to say, I was NOT surprised when my son wanted his 5th birthday to be "a karate party with Sifu". I wasn't sure what to expect, but my non-expectations were EXCEEDED and taken for a ride. Isaac LOVED his party - the lesson, the CUTTING HIS CAKE WITH A REAL SWORD, playing Piso (sp?), joking around with his favorite Sifu. All the parents were so impressed and several were like, "Who IS this guy?!?!" Sifu was great and Isaac hasn't stopped talking about it. Thank you, Sifu!“

“We have been with Master Buddy Hudson for 7+ years at his Snyder Plaza school. Our son started at age 4 and is now 11 yrs old and a 2nd degree Black Belt. We still have one of the original instructors that trained Ryan at our school! I saw an early review that state that Master Hudson was not involved and I can only tell you that he is fully engaged this year. He has made vast physical improvements to the school and the way testing is treated. His leadership training program is one of the best I have seen offered. Our boy is also a certified assistant instructor helping out weekly at the dojo teaching under belts. The amount of self worth and confidence he exudes these days is due in part to the respect that is taught along with this martial art. It will bode well for him as he searches for jobs in the future and it shows daily in his respect for others and love of the friends he has made over these years. I highly recommend HPBBA to anyone who wants to see their kids grow into respectful adults. John F.“

“Our son john went to master juan's karate for 6 years and they are all great people up there! He loved it!! He always wanted to go!“

“This place is something else. Teaching kids on how to react on the street where there are no rules, yet enough discipline to know right from wrong. Love this place! Paul is amazing.. Fun with the kids, but still finds a way to push them to their potential.“

“I have trained jiu-jitsu previously in Florida before moving here and tried multiple gyms in the area. This gym was by far the best gym. The atmosphere, instructors, and students were all incredible.“

“If you're interested in learning self defense and getting into shape, then this is place for you! All of the instructors are dedicated, professional, and knowledgable. Every time I leave class, I feel healthier and more confident in my ability to protect myself and my family and friends. Overall, a great place to learn defense skills!“

“My daughters have been going to Kim’s USA for over 2 years, Agustina and Catalina have learned not only Taekwondo and Gymnastics but also to be disciplined and consistent to achieve their dreams and goals with respect as their number one rule. Master Kim and Master Dennis along with every Master and Coach at Kim’s USA are extremely professional not to mention kind. Thank you Kim’s USA for being our second home and happy place.“

“I've been training with the OKCD for a few years now and love it. The instructors and the people running the school are so kind and welcoming that you can't help but feel like you're joining a community first and training karate second. I have a few years of martial arts training under my belt in many different arts from before my time at OKCD, and I gotta say that I've never felt more at home than I do at OKCD. Everyone who trains and teaches there LOVES karate and it's hard to miss. There isn't any kind of "we're better than everyone else" bravado and there aren't any cliques within the dojo. It's just training and exploring ideas and concepts within the curriculum.I truly believe that the culture of a school, or business for that matter, comes from the top and trickles down through the ranks. Because this dojo was founded by people who are passionate about martial arts and the sharing of the style they fell in love with, that mentality of just appreciating where you are and exploring the movements is prevalent throughout the entire school. I spent many years searching for a dojo to learn traditional Okinawan karate from, and I'm so thankful I found OKCD. Looking forward to many more years making new connections and meeting people who share a love for all things martial arts.“

“Great staff!! Very good all across the board very passionate teaching and developing their students from tiger tots to black belt.“

“My personal opinion is Master Wilkerson is a chess master whose teachings carry over into real life as well as in his dojo ! The students who stick it out through black belt are confident but humbled people introducing strategy and patience into their decisions . I would recommend students becoming lifers after achieving black belt as I did and testing through various degrees of success.“

“Excellent coaches. True fitness experts. All coaches have a broad knowledge base across multiple disciplines. There are also top tier specialist coaches for black belt/pro level students. I’m a novice, older than 45, and while it’s been honestly more intense than I anticipated upon signing up, I’m loving it and it’s been great for my overall fitness, alleviates stress, better sleep, and I’m also training with world champion fighters. Come give it a try. You’ll be glad you did!“
