Tae Kwon Do is Korean style karate. Our system is significantly more advanced due to the fact that we teach Tae Kwon Do along with Japanese style (Shotokan), Okinawan style, and Chinese style (Kung Fu, Wushu). By having the integrated system, a student is much more adaptable to different situations when it is necessary to defend themselves. 

Tae Kwon Do is an excellent system and is the basic program that Kingwood Top Kick Karate students begin in. However, as they progress in the system, they are taught the other styles as an integrated program. Students receiving a black belt in our program are extremely proficient in all four styles. These styles are the basis for martial arts throughout the world today. 

First and foremost, our system is based on character development rather than what color belt a student wears. Many schools today that believe with a short period of training that a seven or eight year old is capable of receiving a black belt. Our program believes that accomplishing a black belt has a lot more to do with character than the person’s ability to kick and punch. 

Memorizing basic moves is not what accomplishes the goal of black belt in our program. Our program, rather, focuses on the complete development of the individual, character of the individual, which includes many things such as drive, determination, commitment, loyalty, perseverance, pursuit of excellence, caring for others, and leadership. These are the qualities that each of our black belts have attained at Kingwood Top Kick Karate. 

As previously mentioned our program is much more expansive and allows a student to develop physical skills far in advance of other programs.

Fitness & Fun accommodates children from the age of 3 through middle school. 

Also included in the center is PV Stitch, which is a commercial embroidery company.

Our 14,500 sq ft martial arts training center is located at the corner of Woodland Hills and Northpark (3838 Woodland Hills Drive) which is the finest martial arts facility in Kingwood. 

Our program at Kingwood Top Kick Karate has never had contracts. Those organizations that require you to sign a contract are obligating your family to a financial commitment that your child may never receive the benefits from. 

Kids in today’s society do change their minds as to what activities they wish to participate in. Also, unfortunately life’s circumstances may not allow a family to fulfill their obligations, and finally, once you have signed a contract, there is little motivation for the program to provide quality instruction because they know that you are going to pay for that contract whether your child participates or not. 

A quality program does not find it necessary to obligate a family to a contractual commitment, but rather must maintain a program at all times that encourages students to continue. 

It is our belief at Kingwood Top Kick Karate that the owner of the program should be intimately involved in all aspects of a student’s training and development. Most schools rely on assistant instructors to teach their classes while the owners of the facility are no where to be found. 

Our program on the other hand, has the owner fully engaged in the entire program at all times assuring that a student receives the best possible training available.

We offer to all new students - two weeks free - in order to allow them the opportunity to fully evaluate the program before making a financial commitment. Most schools, on the other hand, provide one free lesson. At Kingwood Top Kick Karate we want a family to be fully aware of all aspects of our program.

It is simple. One without contracts and one that does not base their standards for black belts on physical skills only.

One of the most unfortunate aspects of martial arts today is the misuse of the words “state champion, national champion, and world champion”. 

Many programs today claim they have world champion instructors and students. What they don’t tell you is that their world championships were won in an association that they belong to where no other participants outside their association are allowed to participate in. Those programs are called closed tournament circuits. They also fail to tell you that international participation may only include three or four countries outside the US and that all of the tournaments are held within the US or Mexico. 

Our program at Kingwood Top Kick Karate has developed one of the finest martial arts programs in the world. In 2004, Kingwood Top Kick Karate placed 16 children on the USA National Team which went to Switzerland to compete at the World Championships. 

Students making the USA National Team were first required to go through the US Trials. After making the USA National Team they were allowed to represent their country in competing against some 3000 competitors and some 70 countries throughout the world. 

Of the 41 medals won by the USA National Team, 33 were won by Kingwood Top Kick Karate. We brought back 11 Gold, 15 Silver, and 9 Bronze medals. That was the largest medal count won by any individual school in the entire world. Some of the same students in our program won medals in fighting, weapons, Korean style karate, Japanese style karate, and Chinese style karate. 

It is unheard of in the martial arts community today to have individuals who are world ranked in that variety of styles. What is most important of these individuals however, is not 11 World Championships and all the medals that were won, but rather the incredible class and character those students demonstrated at the World Championships.
