Enrolling our two kids in taekwondo classes at Rockwall Black Belt Academy was one of the best…read moredecisions we ever made for them! When I first wanted to enroll my son, I called other places around town. I wasn't impressed with the language barrier, and I couldn't get a straight answer to some of my questions about their training. When I called RBBA, the woman I spoke with was extremely nice and I felt so much better about them than anyone else from the other places. I was looking for a studio that would teach our children not just the physical side of taekwondo, but the mental aspect as well. I wanted our kids to be more confident! Rockwall Black Belt Academy values the tenets of taekwondo...integrity, courtesy, perseverance, self control, indomitable spirit...just as much as the physical training. That was really important to us as we didn't want to enroll our kids at a 'black belt farm'. RBBA has the perfect combination of training and competitions, too, (if you choose to compete), so the kids get a taste of what it's like to compete against their peers. Win! We've now been at RBBA for several years, and we couldn't be happier. The instructors are AMAZING, they push the kids to their full potential, and they're great with the parents! I know that training at RBBA has played a part in shaping them into the respectful, well mannered, self confident kids they are today. We're so grateful for our RBBA 'family'!

The owner is incredibly caring, but stern. He is truly the third party our child needs to help keep him accountable. I highly recommend this dojo.

Recently moving from SoCal and a much larger studio where my girls had spent many years in Shotokan…read moreKarate we wanted to stay in the same style but were apprehensive about the limited choices and concerned about the class/ instruction dynamic. However, after one class we were convinced this was the place for us. But, I wanted to give it some time to make sure it was a fair and honest review. Here is the scope: Senseis Lee and Matt are incredible and passionate about their instruction which shows in every aspect of their teaching style. Not only are my children stepping up their game and performing strongly but one can see that the children in their class feel a connection to the art as presented by the instructors and are progressing at a solid pace. The instructor-student dynamic is very engaging, and all students regardless of ability are treated with an equal amount of compassion, discipline, and respect which results in every class being a fun and serious karate training season that my girls look forward to attending. Classes are unlimited and scheduled throughout the week which is nice considering our schedule and +20 miles we must drive each way to attend (for us it is worth it). There are no high-pressure sales tactics or crazy 6 + month commitments like some other place (we have looked at a few). Bottom line if you are considering Karate or any martial art for that matter seriously take a look at this studio. It is a great experience on every level!

I had ACL reconstruction last year, and I am able to jog, do jumping jacks, and train harder without hurting my knees. The instruction is very good, we are moving a lot and happily training hard, working up a good sweat. The facility is air-conditioned, there are two large, clean bathrooms, and a large waiting room with comfortable furniture & big tvs for folks waiting on family members training. There is a weights-area. Future plans to add to this, and a shower is in the plan. Professor Vinny is tough, will work you hard, and train you well. Gym is growing at a steady pace as word gets out. Competing is supported. Kids and adults are competing and Professor is there to coach them on. Family owned and operated by Wylie residents, this gym is already strong in our community. Affiliated with Soul Fighters, which has many locations in the metroplex for training. Introductory rates are low at this point in time, but rates will increase as classes grow (so sign up now and lock in the lower rates).

This is the third swimming lessons school I have enrolled my daughter in, and it is the best. Three…read morethings make this swim school stand out- a progress card and the scheduling availability. Each child has his or her progress card that the instructor marks on, indicating certain goals that the teacher makes sure the student is progressing each lesson. This location had lessons in the morning and early afternoon, not just after school times, so we were able to get in a class that met our scheduling needs better AND was not with the after school crowd. And finally, you can cancel your lesson even a minute prior to the start time and receive a makeup lesson credit that you can use ANYtime! You don't have to wait for the "once a month on Fridays only" makeup lesson that I have had at other places. Aquatots Murphy is a keeper!

He expects the kids to do their part by practicing and putting forth the efforts needed to improve. One of the biggest things - self confidence!!

I don't have experience with Golden Grip Gymnastics as a gymnastics school, but rather in regards…read moreto their birthday party service. I booked Golden Grip Gymnastics about six weeks before my son's 3rd birthday. They were so much cheaper than everywhere else in the area, but my husband and I checked out the gym when we put down the deposit so I felt confident that the kids would at least have fun if nothing else! I had planned to bring my own cake and have pizza delivered, and although GGG provides tablecloths, plates, napkins, etc., I brought my own because I wanted everything to follow the theme of the party. We had the whole huge gym to ourselves. The gymnastics area was a BLAST for the kids (especially the foam pit), and then Corbyn led a group dancing game and we took photos of all the kids together (a great idea and something I never would have thought of to do!). The GGG team took care of setting up, handling the kids, handing out pizza and cake, and cleaning up. Corbyn set everything up on the tables, but was totally cool with me rearranging some things in order to make room for the pizza.  My review is not doing justice to the amount of hard work the GGG team put in and how much fun the kids had. I could not give a stronger recommendation for Golden Grip as a birthday party venue. Such a great experience, and depending on my son's interests next year, we'll probably plan to be back!

Run by a former Olympian, she taught her the basics and seemed to break it all down in a way my niece would understand. I had the privilege to observe a couple of classes in a great holding area for the parents and visitors.

As I understand it they also train the older kids who are Olympic hopefuls and have garnered some major awards in the various competitions across the state. As I understand it, gymnastics is HUGE in Texas so it makes perfect sense a place like this exists!
