Our Taekwondo School in McKinney, TX is a professional full time martial arts program. At Davis' you will learn traditional Taekwondo, aka Korean Karate from highly skilled, unique professionals with many years of experience.
Besides being a powerful form of self defense, the fitness exercises you get from karate (aerobic / cardio, kickboxing, strength training, flexibility) benefits every part of the body, including how you feel about yourself, the health of your heart, the strength of your muscles and the density of your bones.
Our adult martial arts classes are separate from children. We are well aware of the needs each age group requires and we provide for those needs in having very flexible schedule.
When you practice karate your body produces endorphins, which are chemicals that make you feel more peaceful and happier. Exercise can help some people sleep better and help with mild depression and self-esteem. Plus, exercise can give you a real sense of accomplishment from having achieved goals.
Exercising to maintain a healthy weight also decreases your risk of developing certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Exercise also helps prevent osteoporosis (weakening of the bones, making them more prone to breaking in later life among both men and women).
Taekwondo encourages the development of positive character traits such as respect for others and self, self-control, patience, perseverance, self-confidence, a "can do" mindset, and a non-violent attitude.
Students learn to step up to challenges, overcome obstacles and become role models for others.
You don't need to be in shape first. In fact, many beginner students have never exercised regularly before trying their first Taekwondo class. Of course, we encourage you to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program.
Building Strength through Board Breaking
To the uninitiated, breaking wood seems like a ritual. More than any other activity martial artists demonstrate, breaking boards makes the public stop and take notice. The reason? Well, probably because people cannot imagine how we have trained our bodies to not only strike, but to break a solid object without injury.
What they don’t realize is that with the level of training we do, it is pretty easy. Or then again, maybe people just like to see stuff splinter into a million pieces. But whatever the reason, breaking is an integral part of rank advancement once you become a Brown Belt and provides a true objective test of technical still.
Board breaking is a part of testing used by the judging panel to measure the power and accuracy of a kicking or striking technique. Practical self defense means that the students is able to strike with enough force to stop an attacker under pressure.

Self-Defense and Sparring
At the Senior Orange Belt level our teenage students begin free sparring. Sparring is when two students engage against one another. Free sparring is probably the most difficult part of Taekwondo because students must throw techniques and block their partner’s attack at the same time. Your teenager will start sparring with light contact. As they get better at sparring and develop more control, they are allowed to touch their opponent’s body with different techniques.
Teen sparring is an exhilarating, fun and a valuable tool for each student to measure his or her own progress. It is a high intensity workout and many students tell us that sparring is the most electrifying as well as a fantastic body toning exercise. Sparring is also the best way for your teen daughter or son to learn self-defense as they need to evade or block incoming kicks and punches as, for example, it would happen if they were attacked by a bully.
Free sparring will encourage your daughter or son to implement, during a rapidly changing situation, the lessons they have learned in class and utilize many of the techniques they have developed in order to protect themselves.

Reviews
“We are most fortunate to have Davis’ TaeKwonDo America right here in McKinney TX. Not only is Taekwondo an immensely valuable activity physically, emotionally, and developmentally, but Mr. and Mrs. Davis are both very accomplished and highly respected throughout the TaeKwonDo America community. Davis’ TKD America provides the perfect blend of high expectations, nurturing encouragement, and motivating fun. Taekwondo has become a big part of my son’s identity, confidence, and discipline, and I am most grateful to this school for the role it plays in his life.”
