Reviews of Denton Taekwondo Academy

I've been a (adult) student at Denton Taekwondo Academy for almost half a year now, and I've made green belt rank. The program here is VERY good at teaching excellent martial arts skills. The classes are small, individualized, and held 6 days a week. For ten bucks more, you can go to unlimited classes each week (which means you could train for about 10 hours if you made *all* the classes). DTA isn't part of any international Taekwondo organizations, but teaches traditional Taekwondo. What does this mean?

* No kukkiwon or organizational fees keep costs to a minimum. Each belt testing is 40$, compared to several hundreds of dollars in other organizations. * Tuition is also inexpensive - roughly a hundred dollars a month. There also are NO CONTRACTS, which is awesome. * The curriculum teaches practical skills that aren't altered to meet organizational needs. * DTA is not a "sparring school. " Kids and adults are not shoved into full contact sparring until they've demonstrated that they understand how to use good control and block well. There haven't been serious injuries. * We don't have those silly camouflage belts. The instruction that I've received in the adult classes is incredibly high quality, insightful, and helpful. There are many instances in which my instructor has been able to point out and help me fix flaws in my techniques immediately. On Thursdays, a guest instructor teaches the 7:00 class, which helps give more perspective on my training. The environment here is great. The instructors are polite without being overbearingly social. The students here are REALLY nice, making it a pleasant place to train. ​

I've loved training here and I'd recommend DTA to anyone, including all of my friends. Anyone can train here - and it's a wonderful experience.
