The classes they run
“Starting as an uncoordinated kid lacking self-confidence, Tae Kwon Do trained me to handle my body and form habits of discipline that would help me for years to come.”
“It's wonderful that there's such a strong adult program, since many martial arts schools have moved away from providing those.”
“Highly recommend this place if you are trying to learn a self defense!”

From the reviews
Denton Taekwando Academy is just AWESOME! The facilities are brand new and clean. The classes are small and tailored to each students needs. The owners and instructors are very good with the children. There are no long term contracts, I believe the fees are very fair.
I was a student at Denton Tae Kwon Do 25 years ago and progressed to first degree black belt. Starting as an uncoordinated kid lacking self-confidence, Tae Kwon Do trained me to handle my body and form habits of discipline that would help me for years to come. Mr. and Mrs.
As someone who has trained at two different studios before coming here, I have found this place to be fantastic. Having trained here for over a year, and made my first degree black belt, I have found the teachers to be amazing, with over 15+ years of experience. Each with their own types of workouts.
We’ve made Taekwondo a family activity...and we could not be happier with Denton Taekwon Do Academy. Mr. And Mrs. Rogers are exceptional instructors, patient, professional, and overall awesome! Our 10 yr old looks forward to going weekly...and that’s saying a lot.
New to taekwondo? Start at Denton Taekwondo Academy
Denton Taekwondo Academy 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 Denton Taekwondo Academy
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.
