Korea-America Taekwondo Academy is by far the best in San Antonio! I love this place so much that I now teach at this studio. The curriculum is content filled but also a very great, fun, and overall outstanding environment. There are always plenty of student teachers who help out and guide others to reach their goals. The head teachers to a fantastic job of keeping drills, exciting, and yet challenging for the kids! As far as the adult class goes it is a great workout! Overall body strengthening, flexibility, and knowledge of Taekwondo and its Korean customs are a general list of the benefits you get of signing up with this school! I wouldnt recommend any other place. If you are looking for martial arts school thats actually worth your money and time, Korea-America Taekwondo is the place.

I had always passed by this dojo growing up and always wanted to attend or have one of my children attend. Fast forward 20 years and the dojo is still in place. Luckily, I was able to conceive a child and was able to enroll him in taekwondo. My son loves it here and the teachers are so welcoming. Communication and respect are phenomenal. They make everyone feel like they are family here. If you have the ability to train or bring your children. I would highly recommend it. It is great for adult and children!

The martial arts, discipline, and leadership skills taught here by Master Kathy Martinez are second to none. I was a student 16 years ago in middle and high school. I returned this year and the standards have not changed, the classes have only gotten better.I used to attend the junior classes and the summer school program, eventually assisting with the summer and after school program. Master Kathy Martinez and Grandmaster Rosalio Martinez are top notch individuals whose thoughtfulness and caring for their students are second nature. After almost two decades away the place feels no different, familiar and sharp.The adult classes are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights. Although it may seem so it is not an advanced class, even though it is attended over 90% by homegrown black belts of the school. This is a testament to the loyalty of the students to this school and family, the younger adults were almost definitely junior students who are still attending, youll regularly find people who have been attending over 10 years.Invest time and energy in to yourself with the teachings of this school. You will not regret it.

I originally signed up with my brother when i was in middle school and he was in elementary, and we have now earned our second degree black belts. Mrs. Martinez creates a class environment that is discipline but a space where we can have fun and grow not only our muscles and abilities but our minds as well. After four years i have become a teacher and i learn something new everyday. The experiences i have gained from Korea America Taekwondo Academy are insurmountable. My mom has also joined TKD as a way for us to bond, we also enjoy the womans fitness class, which furthers Mrs.Martinezs lessons on discipline, fun and achieving our fitness goals, what ever they may be. I would recommend this Dojo to everyone if I could!

Excellent martial arts academy, great classes and friendly environment to learn karate. This place has an impressive ratio of instructors to students and I recommend this martial arts school to anyone that wants to train and have fun while getting fit and learning self defense classes at the same time. Their sword fighting hapkido class and martial arts lessons have taught me to be a better fighter, their personal trainers and physical fitness program has made my wife fitter and given her more self esteem and energy and their martial arts classes for our kids have made them more outgoing and willing to try new things. They love the after school care attention and and are all around happier and more well adjusted kids. And its all thanks to the care and attention of this wonderful martial arts studio. We are happy to be part of the Korea America Taekwondo Academy family! If you are looking for local karate classes in the San Antonio area, definitely consider this karate school.

When we first moved to San Antonio from New York, I was looking for a very traditional martial arts school for my son. Initially I was looking at Karate schools, since that is my own background, but I hadnt found any I really liked. At the recommendation of a number of folks in my neighborhood, I visited Korea America TKD and found exactly what I was looking for! The style is Korean, obviously, but its not so far off from my own experience that Im lost and cant practice with my son.What I like best about KATKD is the instructors and staff, who are all amazing, patient, yet insist the students learn and work hard. Belts arent given for standing on the mat here, but the approach is age appropriate and since there is a big emphasis on student teaching, not only do all students eventually become teachers themselves, but beginners always have almost 1 to 1 attention from someone more advanced. The price is competitive and you cant beat the instruction and community here!

My whole family can vouch for this place. We had tried out other martial arts schools in the other areas where weve lived but Korea American Taekwondo classes are the best! The instructors and students are all so helpful and supportive. Our son has been doing karate classes since he could walk and he has been coming here for a little over two years now and it has really helped him with his confidence and focus (and our schedule with their after school care program). They not only teach martial arts lessons but values like responsibility, teamwork and respect that will not only help him protect himself but also help him grow up to be a great man. He even requested to have his birthday party here! When I joined recently I didnt know how long I would stick to to the physical fitness program due to my weight and laziness but after a couple of months Im still going strong. Ive lost weight and not have a lot more energy as well as learning great work out techniques. My wife loves the womens only fitness lessons with her personal trainer Kathy.

My kids and I have trained at Korea America Taekwondo Academy for many years and we wouldnt go anywhere else. My son and I have earned black belts and my daughter has earned brown at this studio. The senseis and instructors are outstanding teachers and my kids have learned to follow directions and be respectful to others as well as self defense techniques and stranger danger awareness during the martial arts lessons and after school care. Kathy is a fantastic personal trainer and her womens only physical fitness program really kicks my wifes butt! They have a wide variety of classes for the entire family (I wants to try out the hapkido class and keeps joking with my wife that I want to learn sword fighting using my braveheart sword to embarrass her). We have all learned so much and have a lot of fun. This is truly one of the best dojos in town and I should know - I have learned many disciplines like jiu jitsu and mixed martial arts (mma) but I have learned more at Korea America than all the others combined! Regardless or your age, experience or your martial arts goals, this karate school is the best!
