Houston Self Defense — Local services in Sugar Land

(Don’t mind my name. 💀🪦) I am an orange belt here, and I joined this place with my dad somewhere in 2019 (where as I forgot the month-), the classes are extremely excellent, almost everyone there is friendly and easy to communicate with, which is actually surprising for me as I am one to HATE socializing with people. The atmosphere is just how I like it, and this place trained me well. I take disliking into the aikido classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I would always come home with a sore arm or leg. (Yeah. Everything physically hurts.😭), I will indeed be coming here once this place opens for adult classes, one major problem is that from where I live is an hour drive to this place. I genuinely could care less about it, but it can easily drive me insane with the wait, especially coming back home, and makes my dad and mom tired of it.

I was forced to move from my last karate place in October 2019, as my parents had told me that it was expensive and money was running low. That time, I was extremely happy at that karate place, but everyone was distant and uneasy to interact with. When I moved to this place, I truly thought I’d die here, as a believed I would NEVER fit in here, and that I wasn’t even supposed to be here in the first place. Turns out the tables had turned, and that my mind was absolutely incorrect. I had enjoyed this place by the time people had started interacting with me, and that I was used to this place. It got to the point where I didn’t wanna go home when classes ended, and that I almost cried when I heard that this place would be closed because of COVID. Overall, I just hope this place will open up in summer. I miss everyone...

Its children’s program is great but if you’re a serious adult learner, I wouldn’t recommend this dojo. For the adult classes, you’ll be training alongside the other children so if you’re a bigger person, it may be difficult pairing you for drills. The head master only teaches the children’s program, and leaves the adult classes to other trainers. The program is a mix of different martial arts as you can see under their name, but it mostly teaches tai kwon do, and you don’t get to choose to specialize in one art over the other. The contract is 3 months minimum, I paid, didn’t like the classes, and couldn’t be refunded. I hardly broke a sweat in class as the classes are rather easy going. For one drill, we waited in two lines to practice on two punching bags. 🫤

As for the good aspects of this place, there’s a friendly community, especially the children and their parents. The head master and receptionist are...

Came here to sign up my two kids and the sign on the door says that the office opens at 9am on Saturday and classes start on Saturday at 10am. Well I came at 9:10am on saturday June 9th, 2018 and the place is closed. Came back at 10:10 and it's still closed. I even seen a kid and his parents come to go to class, he had on his uniform. Still no one there. They knocked on the door and still nothing. They then got tired of waiting and drove off disappointed. I tried calling the number listed on the website and no answer. It went to a fax number. Then after waiting longer and longer than expected I looked up other martial arts centers and decided to go elsewhere and sign my kids up. I guess this is an example of how the business is...
