Martial Arts Schools near Garland

“My son has been a student for about 4 years and he has learned so much in his classes. Master Daniel provides the kids with structure and helps them set and hit their goals. He teaches them responsibility and gets them ready to become young adults. Mudo has been a fantastic experience and much more than just Taekwondo lessons.“

“My son loves going to his lessons. Everyone should at least do the free trial. Really helped boost my son's confidence and focus.“

“I love it here. I started doing judo last year as a way to build confidence and to make new friends. The dojo is massive (might be the best in the country?) People are nice and willing to help. They also would get Olympians or people from Japan to teach at the dojo frequently. Pricing might be a bit on the higher end but I think if you are committed I think it's worth it.“

“Amazing gym! Nice, spacious & clean! No malice intents when rolling. Great people to work with! I will definitely be stopping here when in town! Thank you to the big Brazilian tank Alex and his gym for the hospitality!“

“Shaolin Wu-Yi Institute, has been a amazing journey for my 1st year as a student who is learning Martial arts. This school has been amazing ! And all the teachers and patient with the students and guide them to their journey. I want to honor my teachers who has been teaching me for 1 year and making me the best self I could become today, from the start of my journey when I became a white belt I was scared and afraid of everything what was around me, but instead a came with warm welcomes from everyone and the community, teaching me my rights and wrongs and helping me become stronger! I was struggling with being bullied by the age of 5 to 10 years old. But my dad who was a brown belt in martial arts had enough seeing me weak and tired and decided to enroll me to this school! I couldn’t thank you enough what my teachers have taught me from heart to soul I thank my teachers for making me feel better and more confident about myself; without being in Shaolin Wu-Yi Institute I wouldn’t be able to do nothing in life. Thank you for helping me through out my 1st year in your school.

“If you are looking for Self Defense Classes in the Dallas area, I recommend A.C.W.A self defense
Academy in Richardson. I encountered a situation that prompted me to start looking for a class to learn to protect myself. I wanted a class I could do being a little older with health concerns. I have been attending over a year now and I have learnt many techniques to protect myself and learned to do so in a safe supporting environment. Justin has perfected the art of combining different martial arts into real life applications that almost any person can achieve. The peace and knowledge that I can protect myself if the need arises is priceless.“

“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“

“A great place of trained professionals to get back to discipline, routine, fitness and of course new friends. I’m happy to have enrolled here, now I have something to look forward to, for evenings and weekends, a great fitness routine. Thanks team!“

“My son has been taking Taekwondo classes here for a year, and I couldn’t be happier! The instructors are amazing — they truly care about the kids, help them grow in confidence, discipline, and strength, and make every class fun and motivating. It’s an incredible team that supports each student like family. They even made my son’s birthday celebration so special! We’re so grateful to be part of this academy. Highly recommend it!“

“Master Choi is very professional and friendly. My kids love him and go there with passion. Strongly recommend.“

“We have been attending Legendary for almost three years, and our daughter has really grown thanks to them. She has learned self-defense, life skills, focus, and has seen improvement through her hard work. She loves it so much, she insisted on having her birthday party at Legendary and all her friends and classmates loved it. (She especially loved cutting her birthday cake with a katana).

We love that Legendary has family classes, so instead of sitting on the sidelines watching, we can learn martial arts and get a great workout as well!

The owners have made Legendary really feel like family. Coach Denny is skilled, patient with the kids while maintaining discipline with the class, and shows how skills are applicable to tournament and self-defense situations.

We have been in their aftercare programs, Tae Kwondo classes, parents nights out, and summer camps and recommend them all!“

“High standard curriculum, they teach about characters and not just techniques. My daughter enjoys the lesson and the environment because it is fun and challenging. The staff are communicative and treat customers like a family.“

“James is as legit as it comes when it comes down to instructors, just take a look at his resume. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for high quality martial arts instruction. Great vibes, great instructors, great people, and awesome facilities.“

“Don’t let the name fool you. This is not Cobra Kai. I had the unexpected pleasure to visit this authentic Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy recently and had a pleasant surprise. They had an open mat the was welcoming and a challenging. What was most impressive was to see how top level grapplers worked with those with less experience with patience and professionalism. Overall, I would encourage anybody who’s looking to get into Brazilian Jiujitsu in the Plano area to check this out. You will get top level education, with a culture that is very welcoming and professional.“

“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.“

Master Valian and Mr. Boraire are truly passionate about helping kids and it truly shows! Thank you both for changing our entire family!“

Thanks to his support at home, we already have a National Champion, and we're going for more!“

“We enrolled our 5-year-old at Maximum Performance Martial Arts in August 2023 and it has been everything we hoped for. Coach Smith is excellent with the students and implements a perfect mix of disciplined learning but also fun activities. I have also been impressed with Instructor Ben who is very patient and effective with the children. The staff members are trustworthy, encouraging, and have a genuine desire for others to learn Tae Kwon Do. I highly recommend this dojo.“

“This is a great dojo! I'm an adult student and one of my kids goes here too. The instructors are engaging, encouraging, and really skilled. I practiced martial arts as a youth with an excellent instructor but then took 30 years off! I came back as a beginner after seeing my son in class and realizing this is a wonderful gym/dojo. Also, the pricing is very reasonable and the workouts are great. Check it out and you will be glad you did.“
