Going to Dallas Capoeira is one of the best choices you'll ever make joining a community in the…read moreDallas area. You'll not only get stronger and witness yourself do things you never imagined yourself to do, you'll also further the life of a passed down beautiful culture. I'd say joining this community will probably make you live longer. The friendships you build, the fitness and crazy movements that become you, the rhythm you learn, the music you make... Capoeira is an art that you can continuously be a part of. No matter your age or ability you can play and/or contribute in Capoeira. All of this to say, this impression comes from my experience with Abs, Sebastion, and all the other instructors and capoeiristas at Dallas Capoeira. Definitely take a chance and check it out. It's a great time.

My son has been going to Dallas Capoeira for over 2 years. He is almost 10 and I can't express how…read moregrateful I am that he has this in his life. The training is rigorous yet accessible. Somehow Sombra and the leaders in this community manage to train at their high level (amazing to watch!) while inviting the younger participants and newer folks to participate, grow and be challenged at their level. By the end of the class, everyone seems to walk out more joyful than when they came in. They are exhausted in a good way. So many times, I hear people talking about being able to do something they previously thought they were not capable of. Sombra is an experienced, kind, patient teacher. He creates a fun, lively atmosphere. Sombra and the other leaders in the group are impressive in their athleticism and intellect (they will nerd out if you ask them to ;)). I've watched everyone grow in their practice over the years. It's a great community.

I once attended this school for years until some life changing events happened. But I will say this…read moreschool right here Texas Storm Kenpo Karate as a young student at the time I was able to learn not only self defense and not to use my knowledge that I learned as a toy. I learned a lot more then that I learned self discipline, respect, and how to be independent. Not only were they my instructors they became more than just friends. They became family to us. Still to this day when I walk into the dojo I feel like I'm walking into my own home always getting that warm greeting welcome. This is by far my one and only karate school I will ever go too. I'm getting my kids ready to go to their school in the near future so they can have the exact knowledge and connection I have with the pipers and their school. Texas Storm Kenpo Karate is a black belt school they are motivated and dedicated and they are there to do there best and be there best!

I went here a few weeks ago for a belt test for my friend. I've always found martial arts very…read moreinteresting and I've even lived in Japan for part of my life. This Kenpo school seemed very intense vs some of the other martial arts that I've witnessed and been involved with, I worked for a Muay Thai instructor for about two years. Any way. While I know there are differences in the schools of thought and the level of discipline that is needed in each practice I always knew there to be one thing in common. Respect. Respect for the 'class room, the art, the student, the teacher, just through and through everything was based on respect. I found it very concerning that this school didn't seem to follow that. They spoke of money openly and about their policies on their tests. Not unusual but they did it in a joking manner that I've know to only be associated with people who were clearly taking advantage of the individuals they were taking money from. This was after the conclusion of the belt test itself. As for the instructor himself, and I do apologize for the fact that I cannot remember his name just that he was the owner/founder/head instructor. Well I know belt tests can be rough, but there was a harshness that seemed to be contained by the man, like if there wasn't an audience and wasn't a live video going he would have been acting differently. That he was in himself restrained in what was his natural state. I hadn't intended to write any reviews but after over hearing a conversation between a mother and son tonight I felt a warning needed to be put out there. To protect the individuals involved I will not be using their names. However, while eating out tonight I couldn't help but over hear this family talking. When I inquired further I discovered that tonight it appears that the instructor called one of his students out to the front of the class. From what I gathered this isn't unusual. But he then proceeded to curse out, berate, and threaten to have his 'black belts come in and beat this students ass' and then kick out seemingly ban this student over what appeared to be a comment they made on social media that the instructor didn't agree with. I called my friend who attends this school and he admitted that he isn't surprised that this happened. While I can appreciate the idea that one is responsible for what One posts on a social media site -such as Yelp, Twitter, or Facebook- there is no reason for someone in a leadership, instructor role to do that. Publicly shaming someone who had put their trust in that person's leadership. From what I gather this follows more of the unprofessional and what now seems to be abusive behavior and I will not be allowing my children to attend this school.

We…read morechose Min Hur because it is close to home and we like the approach of Grand Master Min Hur and his instructor Mr. Barrios. For the record, I hate going to gyms (waiting on machines, then watching people glare at me as I use the machine I had been waiting on), I don't like to run, and swimming for me is a seat on the bench in the pool with a cold beverage in hand. But I do need to exercise. So it was just a few weeks ago that I put my 48 year old body through a trial class at Min Hur's and I've been hooked ever since. The classes are invigorating, the instructors are patient, and I am learning a life skill. But most importantly, I've gained a great activity that I can share with my son. What more could I ask for? One big plus here - they offer family classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and my son and I can also work out together on Saturday mornings as well. Yes, he outranks me - and I'm constantly reminded of that. But I couldn't have asked for a better way to get back in shape - and I will beat him to black belt! Thanks Min Hur!
