Master Martial Arts at Westlake Hills

Attending Master Martial Arts has been my best TaeKwonDo experience yet. Master Um is very patient and engaging, which is great for both young and adult classes.Him and his instructors are quick to help when ever you need it which creates a welcoming and comfortable environment. It is an honor training under Master Um and i would highly encourage anyone looking to get into, or back into martial arts, to visit him.

My kids have been attending classes at Master Martial Arts for at least 6 years. This is a wonderful martial arts school. Master Um is an excellent teacher who really cares about the students. It is a great way for both boys and girls and even adults to learn discipline, self defense, and gain confidence.

We love Master Martial Arts! Master Um is an excellent instructor who is great with children. My boys, ages 5 and 7, have been at Master Martial Arts for over a year, and it has been a joy watching them grow in TaeKwonDo as they learn forms, kicking combinations, words, and sparring in addition to martial arts values. Thank you Master Um!

I have two kids who are currently in Master Um's Taekwondo program. We've been enrolled for about two years, and the experience has helped with their physical development and with their mind/body awareness. But most importantly, it has helped instill in them a sense of discipline. Master Um possesses the gravitas to make even the rowdiest of children fall in line, but at the same time has enough patience to make the children comfortable with learning. We really can't recommend Master Um and Master Martial Arts enough.

Having attended a number of grappling schools in the area (mostly BJJ), I have found a home at Master Martial Arts. The culture Master Um has built truly fits what I've been looking for. Being close to 50, I was worried that like the other schools I've attended, the focus would be on "winning" against the other students. I do enjoy an environment of healthy competition but the focus here is on learning and self improvement. I recommend Master Martial Arts to anyone regardless of their age who wants to get in shape, learn a martial art, and build their self confidence.

Master Um does a fantastic job with students of all ages. I highly recommend him. Prior to Master Um, my kids had attended three other martial arts schools for short periods of time , Master Um clearly the best! He keeps the class fun for kids of all ages. And teaches them respect and hardworking. In the short of two years, my 8 years old kids have learned Korean words, combinations, and forms from the white belt in Taekwondo to the black belt. My younger boy who was only 4 when he starts his white belt year ago, now he just received his browns belt. Thank you Master Um. Kids live you!

I was always interested in studying martial arts, but given my age (45), I was concerned about injury and I wasn't sure where I would go. I asked a friend (Grand Master in Hapkido) to help me with some research in the Austin area. He recommended Master Martial Arts and Master Um. I tried Master Martial Arts under Master Um for one month and now I'm hooked. I've signed up for a year and I intend to keep going at it - hopefully achieving black belt along the way. Master Um is am amazing instructor. Very mindful, patient and his teaching style is extremely effective. I'm excited to study TaeKwonYuSul and recommend it to anyone of any age! I wanted to add one last thing I forgot. Master Um's credentials, experience and lineage is amazing! He is such a humble man that you would never know from the website the extent of his training, experience, success and awards. Just ask and you'll easily see he's probably the most decorated instructor in the region. Truly an honor to study under him.
