I was looking for a place that would have morning classes, they have a 6am class that works perfect. Coach Taylor is a great teacher. Very patient and helpful. All the students are friendly and helpful. 10/10
My son has been going for few months now and loves attending his mix martial arts class. Coach Kelly is very patient, encourages the kids to always do better, and makes sure they are focused in class. Highly recommend Grand Prairie Muay Thai & Functional Taekwondo!
Decided to pick up Muay Thai a month and a half ago, and the progress I’ve made in a short amount of time is all due to coach Kelly. He’s very patient with coaching and will help you understand the drills completely. If you’re looking to learn Muay Thai in a good, fun and challenging environment this is the gym for you. 10/10 recommend
Been training here for almost 4 months now and have gained serious progress with everything, I’ve trained other combat sports prior and this is the best coach I’ve came across. The coach here Taylor Kelly is awesome when it comes to being able to keep eyes on his classes and incorporate everyone’s style to their own while still maintaining the class environment. If you plan to compete he will definitely push you and make sure you get great work in and keep you in check and if your looking for something just fun and to loose weight trust me when I say after conditioning class you’ll definitely feel like you got a great workout in
One of the best gyms I have trained at point blank. I had lost the love for Muay Thai strictly because I used to train at another gym before going to Functional Taekwondo, however at this gym it felt like the same routine everyday and I felt like I wasn’t learning anything new. With Functional Taekwondo I have learned a lot of new things and it’s always something new to learn each single day, Coach Kelley is such an amazing Coach too and he never makes you feel left out whenever he’s explaining something and he makes sure that you understand what to do. I absolutely love the style that Coach trains because it really gets you moving and sweating and the class is definitely a stress reliever for me. For anyone wanting to give Functional Taekwondo a try I would highly recommend you don’t hesitate about it and just do it because you will most definitely love it!
Our son has had a great time learning Taekwondo here over the last year. Master Kelley is a great teacher not only helping the kids learn valuable self-defense but also developing confidence and character while keeping things fun!
I highly recommend FT DFW. My son has been attending this school for 26 month. He has developed skills, self defense, discipline and most of all keeping him in tremendous condition. It's a very friendly environment. Thank you Master Kelly for all your time and patience you demonstrate to all kids who attend.
I had not done any assisted physical activity for years. With the first class I felt revitalized and full of energy; I slept comfortably. Master Kelly can make you accomplish your goals. My son attends his classes and he has never been so excited and committed to something. Recommended at 1000%
Master Kelley is wonderful! He is very professional and has a lot of patience with the kids. Both my kids enjoy going to class. They have fun while also learning and getting stronger! Highly recommend!
Master Kelley is fantastic! He's great with kids and a great instructor. If you or your kids are interested in competing Master Kelley's students routinely earn high rankings. Just proves his knowledge and technique is legit. Definitely recommend!
My son joined Functional Taekwondo a couple of months ago and he has really been enjoying the classes. It is helping him not only in class but also outside of class and in school. He is very shy and quiet and this has helped him boost his confidence. Master Kelley is very patient with all the kids, and explains and demonstrates every technique thoroughly to ensure that the kids understand the technique. This experience so far has been great and we are very glad he attends Functional Taekwondo. Thank you Master Kelley.
Many of us are familiar with the moral principles that have guided martial arts since their inception: honor, respect, courtesy, self-control, and perseverance. We see these values portrayed in movies about warriors and samurai, and we often hear them emphasized in traditional martial arts schools. However, the fullness of these virtues can be found in […]
This may be a controversial blog post today, as I know there are some very strong opinions on either side of this issue. That being said, I think that while the intention of point Muay Thai is good, there are some major issues that it does not address well enough. That being said, I want […]
A lot of men I know who are depressed tend to have this habit of self-isolation. As someone who’s gone through depression (and still do this day BTW, it never truly goes away) one of the best things I’ve learned over the years was simply changing my environment. I know for some guys it sounds […]
This is a bit of a taboo topic, because in my experience most guys in general don’t want to admit they suck at something. ESPECIALLY fighting. For some reason there’s alot of guys who think that regardless of experience they can just fight anybody and anyone. This is far from reality, and sparring can either […]
If you’re anything like me, you probably wanted to do martial arts because you wanted a way to defend yourself from people who were bigger than you. We’ve all seen movies of guys training hard, and overcoming bigger and stronger people simply with skill. But is this truth or just a fantasy? While size and […]
This post is mostly going to be for parents with kids, but I think the message will be relevant to those who are perhaps starting a family. It’s been said that hard times create strong men, and strong men create good times, and good times create weak men, and the cycle continues (note: I say […]
Just the other day I got a question from a student who asked what he should be doing to improve his cardio for Muay Thai, specifically sparring. Should you be running? Shadowboxing? Coming to more classes? The answer is simple—You just gotta spar more! Why? The reason is because if you spar on a consistent […]
Just the other day I had a conversation with a student who had a friendly boxing match with a friend who had been training soley boxing. He was explaining to me that he had a hard time keeping up in a boxing round simply because he was seeing things he wasn’t used to seeing (he […]
I would say most of our members come about 2-3x per week, and the question that is asked is what to do on your days off of training muay thai? For those that train every day, I rarely get asked whether or not to do more since they are already pretty sore from the training […]
This past week I was on reddit and I saw some posts asking if taking private Muay Thai lessons was worth doing. More specifically if you were a beginner and not a fighter. I was surprised by some of the answers, a few of them said that it wasn’t worth it unless you had been […]
