“Before I get started on what being a black belt means, I would like to thank everyone that led me to reaching my black belt in the first place.”

From the reviews
My journey to Black Belt began at my first class. I didn’t know anybody so I was kind of nervous. I didn’t know anything about Taekwondo and I didn’t do that well but I thought I felt a little more comfortable with the place and the people there, compared to the first place I started Taekwondo.
I started Taekwondo when I was five years old, along with my older sister Camila. At the time, I thought it would just be about kicking high and learning cool moves. I didn’t understand yet what martial arts really meant, or how much it would change me. The path to my black belt has been full of ups and downs.
USTA Taekwondo is simply the best Taekwondo center in the DFW area! Both our daughter and son have trained here, and we couldn't be more impressed. From the moment you walk in, everything stands out — the facility is top-notch, the atmosphere is welcoming and energetic.
My son Vivaan joined USTA back in Sep 2022 and I have seen him grow and improve by leaps and bounds. The instructors are very passionate and work really hard to inculcate life lessons that shape one's personality.
New to taekwondo? Start at United States Taekwondo Academy
United States Taekwondo Academy 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 United States 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.
