Our take

Southlake ATA is a family-owned school on West Southlake Blvd that has taught the American Taekwondo Association's Songahm Taekwondo curriculum since 2001. Like other ATA schools, it runs a standardized belt system and curriculum — the tradeoff being a proven, consistent program over one instructor's personal style — but here it's owned and taught by a husband-and-wife team, Teresa and Tyler Reed, both 4th-degree black belts, backed by a bench of black-belt assistant instructors.

The emphasis leans hard on character: the school's own message centers discipline, respect, focus, and confidence at least as much as self-defense, with the black-belt journey as the long-term through-line. Programs are split tightly by age — Tigers (4–7), juniors (8–13), teens (14–17), and adults — so kids train with their own age group, and there's a summer camp. If you want a program that puts competition first or a single-style traditional room, an ATA franchise will feel structured and run on belts; if you want a well-established, family-run school with a clear curriculum and instructors who own the place and teach in it, that's the fit here. The way in is a free intro class.

Local Tips

Southlake ATA is at 2125 W Southlake Blvd (Suite 375), on the west side of town — go by the suite number. A few practical notes:

It's an ATA franchise running the association's standardized Songahm Taekwondo curriculum, so the belt system and forms are the same you'd find at any ATA school.
The owners teach classes themselves.
Parents are welcomed to watch — they actively encourage families to train together.
Class times run weekday afternoons into the evening (roughly 3:30–9 p.m., no weekend classes), split by age group.
One thing to know going in: pricing and the full class schedule aren't posted online — everything routes through a form or a phone call, and they lean on a limited-time "web special" to get you in for a first class.

Credentials

Southlake ATA is owned and operated by Teresa and Tyler Reed, a husband-and-wife team who both hold 4th-degree black belts — Teresa Reed as Owner & Operator and Tyler Reed as Owner & Chief Instructor — with a combined martial-arts background spanning traditional Korean Taekwondo, Krav Maga, and Muay Thai. They teach alongside a staff of black-belt assistant instructors, including Dwayne Sigler (4th degree), Matthew Cantrell and Kayden Tucker (3rd degree), Ashley Miller, and Melissa Wilkins and Sydney Bailey (1st degree, Bailey also Assistant Program Director). The school follows the American Taekwondo Association's Songahm Taekwondo curriculum.
