From the reviews
He taught me a lot of great self-defense concepts when I was younger! Best Hapkido you'll find in DFW.
I used to be his assistant instructor in taekwondo from 1998-2000 and he inspired me when I was younger. Master Beck has always been one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. Also I have been his friend for 25 years now
I’ve been training under Master Beck for 7 years now and don’t plan on stopping. I’ve been one of his primary students in Hapkido and Arnis and even obtained my black belt in both systems. Master Beck is an exceptional teacher with years of experience to share.
Speaking from my 30 years experience in the martial arts, I have to say it is a privilege to cross train in Beck Martial Arts Arnis, Guro Beck is a exceptional Instructor!
New to taekwondo? Start at Beck Martial Arts
Beck Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Beck Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
