Ray's American Karate & Self Defense

I recently attended a class with Mr. Gomez. His self-defense instruction is useless in real-life combat. He teaches his students to block a baseball bat with their bare arm. Sure, a person can do that but don’t expect your arm to be made out of steel. It would probably break. He also showed me some moves against a rear naked choke that I performed. He pinched my arm so hard that he left my arm with 3 big grey bruises. He also demonstrated a move by flicking the top of my head really hard. He is a horrible instructor and he will mandhandle you or your child to show his useless technique. Don’t go to this fake American academy. Just go to a real Tae Kwon Do school with a more traditional approach instead of this watered-down pseudo kickboxing/Tae Kwon Do/judo knock-off dojo.

My boys have been taking karate for three years with Ray Gomez. This is a fantastic school with a very family feel. Excellent technical training and Mr. Gomez is so great with the kids. We previously took classes at another Dallas area school that was good, but the instructors were largely college and high school kids. Mr. Gomez personally teaches all of the classes with black belts training underneath him assisting in class time. The times are very convenient for training after school and in the early evening.

I cannot speak highly enough about the technical skill being taught. This is not a belt factory at all. There are very high expectations for all students. Along with the karate skills being taught Mr. Gomez really stresses honor, respect, and self control.

We also love the family feel of the school. The students all get to know each other as do the parents. Mr. and Mrs. Gomez are there every single time we come to class.

I cannot speak highly enough of Rays and Mr. and Mrs. Gomez!

I love the people there and Mary she is great any thing i dont understand she is there i love that I inrole my son there he is doing great love it very much.Mr.Gomez is

a great master.

Really great karate instruction! Our family has been getting instruction at this facility for nearly 7 years and it has been a wonderful experience!

My child has been attending for several months. I like seeing the self confidence and coordination being instilled in the class. The Gomezs are very patient with the younger children!

I have two black belts in my house, thanks to this academy my kids learned how to be confident, high self stem, very respectful and kind with other people around them. I am very proud of my son 16 years old and 3rd degree black belt. Also I had a very shy little girl when she started doing karate when she was 6 years old, and last December 2019, she won 1st place on the state championship in the AOK tournament division 10-11 girls black belt. That event gave me a different girl, she now know that she can do anything, everything is possible with dedication and practice. I highly recommend to all parents, adults and kids to be part of this amazing karate family.
