Class days & times

What's offered

J Tiger runs a distinct schedule at each studio; the two Southlake locations are shown in full below. Both run an after-school program Monday–Friday (at HQ it combines daily Tae Kwon Do, homework time and a snack), followed by belt-level classes into the evening and Black Belt Club sessions in weapons, sparring and demo kicks, with Saturday morning Little Tiger and Jr. Tiger classes. At 280 Southlake, Saturday-afternoon birthday parties include a Demo Team performance and are open to non-members; parties are by appointment at both studios. The Trophy Club location runs its own class schedule — contact the studio to confirm current times.

Our take

J Tiger is a traditional Korean Tae Kwon Do program, and the character side of it isn't just its own marketing: covering the studio's tenth anniversary in 2021, Community Impact described a school whose classes "teach technique as well as character-building." That's the frame here — discipline and respect treated as the real curriculum, taught through the physical skills rather than bolted on beside them. The masters trained and competed at a national level in Korea, and the program is well-reviewed by a large number of local families.

It's built for families who want structure and follow-through over a casual drop-in, and its programs run from age three through adult. Each studio is led by a different master, so which location you pick is also which instructor your child gets — worth matching to your kid rather than just to your commute. Start with the free first week; it's the fastest way to see whether the discipline lands as encouragement rather than pressure.

Local Tips

J Tiger's flagship studio is on W Southlake Blvd, a few minutes from Town Square, with more studios at 280 Commerce St and in Trophy Club — so families can pick the one closest to home, or the master whose room fits their kid. The after-school program is built for working parents: kids are picked up from school, with snack time and supervision running into the early evening, up to 6 pm. New students get a free first week.

Carroll ISD Connection

J Tiger runs a daily after-school program that picks students up directly from Carroll ISD schools (along with Northwest ISD and Westlake), so the studio is woven into a lot of Dragon families' weekday routines rather than just sitting nearby. The program tracks the school calendar - homework time is built into each session, and the studio closes for weather whenever Carroll ISD does. It is a real service relationship through that pickup program rather than a formal curriculum partnership, but for families in the 76092 corridor it functions as an extension of the school day.

Credentials

Grand Master Lee holds a 6th-Dan black belt and majored in Taekwondo at Yong-In University in Korea, where he was a professional demonstration-team member; the Korean Taekwondo organization recognizes him as an expert demonstrator and instructor, and he brings 25+ years of teaching experience, including government self-defense programs, and was named best instructor in New Jersey (2007-2009). The masters include Master Kang - a 6th-degree black belt, head coach of the Hodol Demo Team, and director of the 280 location - and Master Gibong, a Young-In University professional demo-team member and national champion of Korea who heads the HQ program.
