Evan N. says, "I am 35 years old and I love baseball. I wanted to learn some fundamentals mostly to improve my hitting for church softball and future games. In less than 30 minutes my swing had drastically improved. Not only that, I was learning how to throw better, keep my eye on the ball, how to run better, and more! It was a huge improvement in an hour. I felt so much more confident about my hitting. I look forward to taking more lessons and the price for lessons was fair. Overall this was an easy choice to make and I am so glad that I did. Coach is a great man with lots of experience to share!" Read more

Reviews for Irving karate classes

I've been practicing boxing with Coach Tino and I can feel myself learning and growing physically and mentally. He will work with you at your pace but pushes you to reach that next step. Every practice I can do a little more than the last and I learn something new to incorporate every time. Coach Tino lives by his message of perfect practice = perfect performance and wants you to achieve that as well. If you want to get in shape or build confidence, it may not be easy at first but you'll start to see the results if you stick with it. Great guy, great program!

We had a wonderful experience with Coach Jayson and highly recommend his 1-on-1 coaching sessions. He was incredibly patient, calm, and knew exactly how to connect with my daughter.

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 Ray's and Mr. and Mrs. Gomez!
