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!
This place is awesome brian is a great instructor and worked with my 8 year old daughter. I am a very strict parent in wanting my child to succeed. She struggled in the beginning and I was told my the owners wife ms rosie that she will continue to get better !!! After being here for a year now this place becomes a family with the kids and the parents especially at tournaments. The instructors take your child in the beginning with the rest of the beginners and move at a pace that is at the students level I highly reccomend them. They also have classes for adults as well!!!
Do not sign a contract. My 7-year old was interested in martial arts but after trying it, found she did not enjoy it. We were stuck in a 1-year contract. This is too long of a commitment for this age who frequently change their minds, which is common during this developmental phase. When I inquired about early termination options, the receptionist/owner’s wife commented that this will be a lifelong pattern of quitting for my 7-year old. I’m still infuriated at her presumptuously rude comment when she knows nothing about my child. My child has completed many seasons of soccer, baseball, gymnastics, tap, ballet, reading & more, all of which had much more reasonable terms of commitment, like by semester or by month. My child is not a quitter. However, she did say that karate was not fun. If you know anything about 7-year olds, you know that fun is a pretty high priority, especially for extra curricular activities. They take themselves too seriously at Holan’s; and seem to not understand children’s developmental growth.
My family and I have been training at Holan's Texas Karate Do for more than 6 years and it’s absolutely awesome environment to train in the martial arts. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the facilities are great! Techniques and exercises are nicely put together in the different classes, which follow a structured plan and are supervised by experienced instructors. It’s a lot of fun and you really feel that you get the most out of your time there! Not only does Master Holan and his team of instructors provide great martial arts training, they effectively instill great character and respect to every student that enters their doors. I know my girls have gained confidence in school, respect to elders and preform to a higher standard because of the martial arts program at Holan’s Texas Karate Do.
