Houston's Best Martial Arts school

Meyerland Martial Arts is a Houston karate and self defense school where a lot of southwest side kids grow up on the mat, and plenty of parents end up training too. The school says it has spent more than 30 years teaching students from Bellaire, Southwest Houston and Meyerland itself.

Houston had 2,397,315 residents in 2025, per the Census Bureau, and sits in Harris County. The median home in town was built in 1982, per the American Community Survey (2024 data).

The heart of the place is Kuk Sool, a traditional Korean martial art. The school describes it as open to kids, teens and adults at any experience level, and adults can also sign up for fitness kickboxing. Its website names separate tracks for preschoolers, teens and adults, and the training floor runs to more than 3,600 square feet.

It opens at noon Monday through Saturday and wraps up before 9 pm, with Sundays off. That makes after school and after work classes easy to fit in.

The school holds a 4.7 rating across 84 Google reviews. Reviewers talk most about patient, kind instructors and about kids who stick with it for years and come out with black belts. Parents also mention discipline, respect and confidence, plus the way mixed ages and skill levels learn side by side.

A few reviewers trained alongside their children, and one adult who started out far from fit says the pace worked for them all the way to black belt. So it is not just a kids' spot.

If you just moved to the southwest side, book the free trial class the school offers and see if it clicks for you or your kid.
