From the reviews
Master Vanny Boon runs the best martial arts academy in Dallas and one of the best in the country. Our children respect him and adore him at the same time. His technical capabilities are only matched by his amazing personality. This is the place to trust your children to!
There's no better place than to train than here at Boon Martial Arts. These guys are awesome! The instructors are great mentors who are very skilled and knowledgeable in the art.
I began my martial arts journey in May of 2022, and my life has changed for the better since then. Boon Martial Arts, is the BEST when it comes to quality technique.
I began taking martial arts at a different studio originally. I enjoyed what I was doing but found myself not feeling challenged so I tried Boon on a whim to see if it was the studio, or maybe I just wasn’t interested. After the first class at Boon I felt the difference. I really enjoy the precision in the instruction.
New to taekwondo? Start at Boon Martial Arts
Boon Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Boon 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.
