TEXAS DEFENSE ACADEMY TDA

I have trained with TDA for several years now and I have learned so many different ways to protect myself and my loved ones. The instructors are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach in class. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone who is willing to learn martial arts.

I can say my experience here is great. The instructor is phenomenal. The people that train here are like family. I enjoy every moment I spend here training. Without a doubt I recommend anyone to come experience the power.

Awesome catch wrestling program. Relaxed atmosphere very welcoming.

I highly recommend every one to give this class a try I was a student for 3years it has thought me a lot. I am honored to have been a part of this journey, I am very thankful for the instructor and the friends that I have made while l being in the program

TDA offers the best training programs at a affordable cost to the public. Three amazing programs wrestling, impact & edged weapons, combatives all driven for self defense, purpose. TDA is a non-competing school and focuses more on improving the individual than matches. If your looking for a school to train and learn something from the get go? Check out Texas Defense Academy.

I've been taking classes here for a month and have been extremely impressed with the quality of the classes. I decided to try out the basic Self Defense course as well as the Kali class, which are scheduled back to back. Everyone I have met in the classes has been very welcoming, kind, and helpful. All the students were ahead of me in experience, but I could tell they were careful to slow down for my level. That's not to say that it wasn't intense! I have left every class soaked in sweat (it's a great workout if you're looking to supplement your home/gym routine) and pleasantly exhausted. What I most love about the two classes is that they are geared to be intensely practical. Edwin strives to teach efficient moves that will work anywhere in real life....and won't just look impressive on a Youtube video. The classes frequently pit students against each other in mock mini altercations/battles which (I've noticed) have already improved my awareness of surroundings as well as increased my physical response time. And just as important, my brain has started to process those altercations faster too.....(slowly, but surely) which allows me time to plan a response (or at least THINK about trying to plan a response....I'm still a beginner). Many people have the misplaced notion that if they ever end up in a bad situation, that they will rise to the occasion and appropriately defend themselves. However, unfortunately, they end up freezing instead, because they are so shocked by what is happening, that their brain struggles to process appropriately. Until you place your brain in a stressful environment and practice like you are IN THAT situation with your adrenaline pumping and your hands shaking, then you will lose and it may cost you your life or the life of a loved one. In a world that has grown increasingly insane, safety has never been more important. This is a safe place to practice feeling unsafe, so that you can respond appropriately when it really matters. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Texas Defense Academy is really really good!! I had no previous martial arts training or self defense training but after several months of training here, I feel 100% more confident in my abilities to protect myself or my family. Edwin is an all star instructor!

My daughter and I went for a group self defense class, and we are so glad we did. We learned so much and left with knowledge and basic moves that would be helpful in a variety of situations. Edwin, Anna, and Daniel were professional and thorough in their instruction of self defense mentality and techniques. We are thankful for what we learned and highly recommend the class for anyone who is interested in taking a self defense class.

Been taking classes at TDA for around 6 months. Best self defense classes in the area and a ton of fun. If you're looking for training in real life scenarios, this is the place for you.
