Martial Arts

Sigung Portnoy is the best at what he does. For all self defense and close quartered combat based fighting, MACP is the way to go. Helped turn my kid into a respectful, squared off and intelligent human and fighter.

I know 5 stars seems extraordinary, but when you've been a paying customer (parents of a student) for over 6 years and you can't think of a single "issue" - my wife and I believe the 5 stars are deserved. This place (Mesquite Martial Arts) is a place you need to check out, whether it's for yourself (adult classes) or a child. It's right there in the heart of Creek Crossing - it's clean, it's fun and there's not a minute of wasted instruction. The owner, Keith Gorham, has been and is, a solid instructor and a ideal role model for my son. Thanks Keith for teaching him about "doing the right thing" not only when it comes to karate, but in everyday life. As a dad, he hears it one way coming from me. But from you, it takes on added emphasis. I also think it's a testament to Mesquite Martial Arts that not once have I heard "Dad, I don't want to go today," or "Do I have to go to karate?" He always wants to go. He's excited to go. He's learning things that he'll carry with him all his life that will help him and possibly others as well. Professional with a capital "P". So, I say ABSOLUTELY try them out!

Great environment for the whole family! Knowledgeable instructors who practice what they preach.

I have trained in several different styles over the years, but this Southern Fist Wing Chun was by far the most impressive! Best in the Dallas Area!

I've watched my son develop into an emotionally generous, intelligent and self-disciplined teenager. The Universal Martial Arts Academy under the direction of Dr. Alvin Mack, a 10th degree black belt, deserves much of the credit. I've been so impressed with this school's mission and environment that I am now enrolled in the school's Kenpo karate class as well.

We have been at J Tiger for 4.5 years. Master Lee and his staff are loving, gentle and fun, yet teach discipline and great Taekwondo skills. Our 8.5 year old son is working on his 2nd degree black belt. We love J Tiger!!!

awesome instructor, very affordable

Great instructor. My daughter loves going and is learning valuable life resources here.

Snow mma is awesome BJJ acadmey.

If you are looking for a good place to take you kids to train look no further.My little boy takes a class here is loves it. The instructor really takes his time with him and that's hard to find anywhere else. They have a place for the parents to sit and watch class . It is very inviting and everybody is very friendly.

The instructors are so friendly, caring and great with the kids. My 9 year old is enjoying classes and I love that he's not only learning technique, but also life lessons that are incorporated with their training.

The best art I have ever taken. Juan is the most patient instructor with students of all ages. He is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the art.

My son trained here for a while before we moved across the country. Master Roby is a great instructor and truly cares about the kids.

Very impressed! Mr. Nevels and his team run a fine program here. Mr. Nevels is repeatedly plugged into the community and truly loves serving the citizens of Coppell. If you're looking for a high quality martial arts program for kids and/or adults, you can't go wrong with this school.

We have been attending since the fall and our son can't wait to attend class each week. The instructors have a great balance of fun and work in each class which makes it worth it for both the kids and parents. All the instructors are fantastic especially Mr. Garcia and Mr. Peng. :) Mr. Rhode is superb to work with and encourages all little ones with his kind approach. My son has not only learned karate skills but has gained confidence, focus, and respect.

I have had my so Gavin attending this academy since December 2015. When he first started I wasn't sure he had it in him. I have to say I am beyond pleased with the results. He was invited into the XP program which he loves! At first, he had no interest in participating in tournaments but he will be attending Nationals next month in March at Galveston, which will be his second tournament. This says a lot about the self-confidence he has gained while in the program. Kudos to the instructors for pushing and encouraging him. Their after school program is great too and Gavin loves it. It's a convent way to get their lessons knocked out. Trust me, it's worth it because he has skipped a belt level during his time and is now a Brown belt. So proud and can't wait to see him make Black belt!

This school is amazing! They have done a great job teaching my ADHD child self discipline and respect. I would highly suggest Tiger's Den to anyone!
