testimonials
Our students and families are the heart of Defence Lab Kyle. Every success story reflects the confidence, strength, and real self-defense skills gained through our kickboxing programs. See what our Kyle community has to say about their training experience.
Kids and adults will learn various martial arts styles and self defense so you can be confident when you're out and about that you can protect yourself.
The adult instructors are very knowledgeable and are passionate about teaching. They're professional and happy to answer questions and break moves apart to help you understand. One of the instructors holds various Masters degrees - I believe Taekwondo and Superfoot is two of them. (There are others.) He takes his craft very seriously and is extremely knowledgeable. He is also willing to learn and adapt his craft.
The best part of this school is all the friends you will make. This place is like a second home and extended family for many.
They frequently have trial specials to see if you like it and are a good fit before committing. My kid started on a trial and we've been there ever since!
Update: This location has been designated the North American Defence Lab Headquarters!
Update 2: They do camps parties and sprinkle in other events, too! (Dodgeball, Perfect night, and others)
Update 3: They took students to an International and a World Championship Competition (the former in Louisiana and the latter in Dallas) and their students won many awards including World Champion in multiple disciplines!
Update 4: They have partnered with a BJJ instructor and now offer lessons in this discipline as well!
Mr. & Mrs. Schreiber operate a fantastic business!
UPDATE: DL Fusion continues to offer top of the line, state of the art Martial Arts instruction. I just attended their Black Belt testing and I am truly impressed. I wish I lived here so my kids could attend this school!
