My son has been attending classes for a few weeks now and we are so thrilled with the experience. This is a hidden gem in Wells Branch and we highly recommend them. The instructor is so great with kids of various ages and abilities, and my son looks forward to his classes every week.
Awesome program for all ages!
Excellent experience my son has shown more discipline is a very nice change; great teacher
Very good! Highly recommended. I have been going here for nearly 5 years, and I love it. Everybody here is very welcoming and friendly, I would recommend this place for learning taekwondo.
US Taekwondo is an excellent experience. I enrolled my son a year ago, and he was instantly engaged and passionate. Master Lockett has the heart of a teacher and easily aligns his instruction to the student's level. Miss Shalene really helped my daughter open up; she fell behind and wanted to quit, but Shalene listened to her, coached her, and now my daughter is engaged and laughs with her fellow students again!
Great friendly and very patient instructors.
My kids have only been in his program for around a year and we already notice a positive impact.
Love the community in this school!
My boys started going from March and we have seen them continue to do great things. Ms. Shalene is very patient with my boys and she is just an amazing instructor. They both have learned so much and we are very happy with the friendly faces and welcoming instructors :-) Master Lockett and the team have done a phenomenal job teaching students and parents the great skills of Taekwondo. Thank you!
Our family has been attending since May of 2023. The community is accepting and supportive. Master Lockett is encouraging and supportive pushing students to achieve their goals without being overbearing.
Highly recommended ! My daughter and I love this dojo. Master Lockett is very skillful and experience . he know exactly how to work and keep all the kids motivated. My daughter was shy and quiet at first but Mrs Shalena did amazing job to open her up ! She made my daughter feeling more comfortably and gain more confidence . After 2 weeks trial, my daughter is really loved this place and she want to come everyday!
My 9 year old son has been attending US TKD for 2 months now and he loves it. He's never been in sports or athletics but truly enjoys his classes and his instructors who are so great with children. I'm so proud of my son's progress in such a short amount of time and can't wait to see where he'll be a year from now. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Good teacher and staff
United States Taekwondo is a great place to practice and learn the martial arts.
it has various programs for all age groups to learn Taekwondo. I would recommend all to visit and join the programs available here.
USTKD is the only martial arts school in the area whose Master Instructor also has a Masters Degree in Education. James Lockett runs a high energy program that is great for helping kids to develop mentally and physically.
This school runs a quality program. My grandson has become more confident and polite since he started his classes. It gives him a great physical workout and diminishes his screen time!
I highly recommend this school for kids and adults.
My daughter has truly blossomed in this class. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended. It is the second year for our oldest daughter and my youngest just started few months ago. They are very happy with this program and we are too.
Awesome Master, very trained and highly disciplined. Highly recommend!
An amazing experience for my son with Autism! The instructor is just the best, and it was exactly what we were looking for!
Great instructor. My kid loves going to class.

Have you noticed something about kids today that seems different from when we were growing up? Many kids struggle with basic coordination. They trip more easily. They have trouble catching a ball. Balance and body control seem harder than they should be. Parents across North Austin and Pflugerville often notice this when their kids start […]
A lot of parents have noticed something that didn’t seem as common years ago. Their child is smart. Funny. Creative. They can navigate a tablet better than most adults. But when they’re around other kids? They freeze. Maybe they hang back instead of joining in. Maybe they avoid eye contact. Maybe they struggle with things […]
If you’re a parent today, you’ve probably seen this moment. You pick your child up from school. They’re tired. Maybe a little cranky. So the tablet comes out. Or the phone. Or the TV. At first it seems harmless. A little quiet time. A chance for them to decompress. But then something strange happens. Dinner […]
