The classes they run
“My son started taekwondo at PTX Martial Arts when he was just a kindergartener, and now he is preparing to test for his 2nd Degree Black Belt.”
“Through the years, he has learned discipline, confidence, perseverance, respect, responsibility, and how to work through real-world challenges both mentally and physically.”
“I would say that the school is a real place that you can learn real defensive tactics but you must be willing to earn your belt rank.”

From the reviews
My name is James Cash I am a United States Marine Corps combat infantry veteran, I've trained with several different types of martial arts and had seen several different types of instructors.
I can't say enough good things about this school. Over the last several months my child has learned so much in self defense! It is great for preparation with bullying defense, stranger danger, school emergency situations (that one major one no one likes to think of), confidence, integrity, kinship with fellow martial…
Great place to take Teakwondo and krav maga!! Ive known all the instructors for awhile and can vouch that they teach each student to make sure they succeed. I was a student for 6 years here and an instructor for 5 and a half years of those but joined the Marines so i had to stop for the time being.
ATA paris was and still is the best place to go not only for taekwondo and krav maga but also for self defense. I personally took the class and enjoyed it very much unfortunately having to drop out due to joining the army awhile back.
New to taekwondo? Start at PTX Martial Arts
PTX 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 PTX 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.
