About Elite Karate
Elite Martial Arts After-School and Camps
Elite Martial Arts, led by Grand Master Raymond Hsu, provides a structured environment where students develop self-confidence, mental strength, and physical coordination through Olympic-style Taekwondo. The program is specifically designed to keep children engaged with a curriculum that includes basic forms, movements, and drills tailored to different age groups. Beyond martial arts, the center emphasizes character development, focusing on discipline, respect, and good manners in a positive learning environment. The facility offers a robust after-school program with daily transportation from local schools like Buckner Fanning and Pieper Ranch. During school breaks, full-day camps keep kids active with martial arts classes, games, and weekly field trips to destinations like local parks and Chuck E. Cheese. Parents appreciate the blend of physical activity and structured character building, making it a reliable option for families seeking more than just standard child care.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
I've been a student of Master Hsu for more than three years, he is the best instructor you'll find in Texas
Master Hsu is fantastic with kids of all ages. He has very high expectations while also demonstrating patience and understanding.
I love the fact that my kid is learning something different in this after school program, Tae Kwon Do will help shaping her body skills, values and much more!
Both of my kids have gone here for the past 2 years. They love it! We’ve seen them progress athletically and have noticed huge difference in respect, manners, and self discipline.
MY DAUGHTER ATTENDS ELITE KARATE AND IT'S AWESOME! !! NOT SURE ABOUT THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS SOMEONE GAVE EARLIER BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ELITE KARATE! !! MASTER HSU IS FABULOUS AND SHOWS THE STUDENTS COMPASSION AND DISIPLINE AT THE SAME TIME. THE STUDENTS REALLY RESPECT HIM! MORE AND MORE PARENTS ARE HEARING ABOUT ELITE KARATE AND ENROLLING THEIR CHILDREN HERE, THAT SAYS ALOT!! VERY HAPPY!
