This place changed my life for the better. I’m part of their adult program, it has helped my fitness and confidence tremendously. The master is the best you’ll find in Texas and he will take the time to give you the individual attention you need to thrive in this program as well as helping you to work in teams. Edit: I Haven’t been able to attend recently due to life circumstances, but the team here is very understanding and will help to get you back in the groove when needed if you can’t attend every class.

It’s a decent place to learn martial arts. I wont lie, including testing fees, gear fees and tuition, and other hidden fees, this studio will set you back about 200-250 (~150$ for tuition + 50-100 dollars for testing fees) a month, and duly note that they don’t do month-by-month payments, so you’ll have to commit to this for 3-6 month contracts. Cancellation fees on contracts are about 250$ They don’t do much sparring at all, but the place is clean and there’s an emphasis on developing the enthusiasm of students. I’ve always been a pretty soft-spoken guy as I yell a lot when I’m at work, and after a while I started to feel like it wasn’t welcome. Good place to put your kids; after a while they’ll start to learn some good discipline, learn how to not be scared, learn how to stand still, learn how to stay committed, and so on. I personally invested in it hoping to reconnect with something I had grown up doing, but as far as martial arts go, TaeKwanDo is chiefly a sport now. The instructor emphasizes Kukkiwon aesthetics and rules that start to seem arbitrary at times, and competitions, but personally I was never interested in competing; I wanted to connect to a military tradition and seek out an art that would help me fend for myself at work, as I often find myself in incredibly hostile and extremely violent environments. I decided to step away, accepting that TKD isn’t what it was and letting go of what I once knew. The place is pretty clean tho… needs new mats. Edit for clarification: “Hidden fees” in this context define required payments for continued enrollment not specified by the tuition contract. Testing fees are 50-100 dollars on a regular basis of every other month, in addition to payments involving board-breaking, these are fees *on top of the total tuition*. Sparring classes, from my communication with other students were comprised mostly of sparring drills rather than free-sparring, and are held on a once-per-week basis. From their account, I determined free-sparring was an infrequent practice.

Perfect place for kids to learn the Tae Kwon Do classes in Lubbock. I have my two kids learning here and they are doing a amazing job. I like the way the Masters teach the kids that makes the kids not only to practice here but to learn the self discipline, respect and confidence. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested.

We love being a part of the CTMA family! It's something the entire family can do together. Both Grand Master Cheon and Master Jay are amazing teachers and mentors. Anyone thinking about joining any form of martial arts should really consider training with the best at CTMA!

I’ve had such a wonderful experience learning from the Cheon’s. There such a nice & wonderful family, If you’re looking to start taking Taekwondo. CTMA is the place to go! You’ll be taught by the best & you’ll learn from the best, learning both respect & taking pride in the art that you’re being taught. It’s pretty tough in the beginning, but I promise you won’t regret choosing this dojang. There’s much more to accomplish, never give up & always try you’re hardest. You’ll look back and realize how much progress & success you’ve made. Thank You To The Master’s Of Cheon’s Tiger Martial Arts For Everything Y’all Do.
