USK Martial Arts Ballantyne

We've been part of the USK family for almost 7 years. One of our kids is in Tiny Tigers, and the other earned a Black Belt (and working on their second degree) with plenty of summer camps in between. They've both grown tremendously. They used to be shy and unsure. Now they're confident, bold, and speak up for themselves. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love USK Martial Arts at the Ballantyne location! My daughter is currently enrolled in the Tiny Tigers program, and the experience has been nothing short of incredible. The instructors are truly outstanding — patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at working with young kids. They strike the perfect balance between discipline and fun, creating a nurturing environment where children feel confident, respected, and excited to learn. It’s been amazing to watch my daughter grow in focus, respect, and self-confidence with each class. The way the staff engages with every student — remembering names, cheering on progress, and gently guiding them — really shows how much they care. I highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a positive and inspiring martial arts experience for their child. Thank you, USK Martial Arts team, for being such wonderful role models!

I am so thankful I found this place. My 8yr. child who has never taken martial arts before is enjoying it so much. Masters Amy Charles, Howey, and instructor Jackson are amazing. Despite having a full class, they still give the kids individualized attention making sure they following instructions and doing things correctly. My girl is so confident now and she gets excited about classes before and after the class!! Thank you, all!!

My daughter has been attending USK for the past nine months, and I couldn't be happier with our experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff. Master Amy is always very energetic and engages with parents and kids. The instructors are fantastic, patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each child's skills. Overall, I highly recommend the USK to any parent looking to spark their child's interest in martial arts.

We’ve been coming here for about 3–4 years, and the instructors truly feel like family. My kids absolutely love it here and feel safe, supported, and understood. The team goes beyond teaching martial arts skills, they instill discipline, confidence, and the importance of doing the right thing. The instructors are leaders my kids can truly trust and talk to, and I’m forever grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on them.
