Grand Prairie's Family Friendly Kickboxing Gym | Muay Thai & Functional Taekwondo For Self Defense, Fitness, and Excellence Functional Taekwondo is a hybrid martial art that combines the arts of western boxing, muay thai (thai kickboxing) and olympic style taekwondo. Our curriculum is divided into separate age groups and skill levels to ensure a safe, effective, (And most of all; FUN!) martial arts practice to help our students become safe and powerful individuals. What separates us from other typical Taekwondo schools is that we highly emphasize self defense as the overarching theme and only teach techniques that can be applied against progressive resistance. We award our students with new rank based on how well they can defend themselves. This includes a wide variety of sparring, conditioning, and knowing the necessary steps to take when in a hostile situation. For children, we teach the fundamentals of stranger awareness, positive character development, and how to deal with bullying through their martial arts training. Studies show that children who engage in martial arts have higher self esteem, more focus, are more healthy, and become more studious in their academics. In our adult program, you will be getting some of the most high energy and fun workouts of your life. What's more is that not only will you gain strength, improve cardio performance, get muscle tone, burn fat, and have more energy, you will also be learning legitimate skills for self defense. If you wish to compete, we also can train you for that as well. As you can see, functional taekwondo is not exclusive to just children or adults, we are a program designed for the whole family.
