Details

Taekwondo camps run as one-week Monday–Friday sessions across the summer — full-day 9 am–3 pm, with half-day options (9 am–12 pm or 12–3 pm) — booked per week through the site. The 2026 sessions are all marked ended; ask the studio for the next season's dates.

Our take

Top Tier Athletics is a veteran-owned Olympic Taekwondo and fitness studio on Market Loop, and the Taekwondo here is the sport kind, not the belt-mill kind. It's run by Master Cole Hickey — a 5th-degree Kukkiwon-certified black belt and a former captain of the US Army Taekwondo team — and built around actual competition: classes train at an 8-to-1 ratio, split into an all-belts class and a dedicated Team track, and the team travels to AAU and USAT qualifiers and USAT Nationals.

That focus is the thing to weigh. If your kid wants Olympic-style sparring and a real path to tournaments, this is built for it; if you're after a traditional belt journey that puts character first or a big open drop-in schedule, a more conventional Taekwondo school may fit better. The studio also runs a full fitness side — small-group HIIT, Pop Pilates, Strength, and Barre, adult dance taught by a former TCU Elite dancer, plus personal training and nutrition coaching — so it doubles as a boutique gym for parents. The Taekwondo trial is a paid drop-in rather than free, which is how you see the room before committing.

Local Tips

Top Tier is at 2820 Market Loop (Suite 100). A few specifics:

  • The Taekwondo classes run small.
  • Taekwondo runs on weekday afternoons and early evenings, in an all-belts class and a separate block for the competition Team; the studio published an updated 2026-2027 schedule that took effect in August 2026, so check current times before you plan around them.
  • There are full-day and half-day Taekwondo camps over the summer.
  • Unlike a lot of schools, the trial is paid rather than free.
  • The fitness classes (Pilates, Barre, HIIT, dance) and the personal-training and nutrition packages are booked separately and priced per session — worth knowing the place is as much a boutique gym as a dojang.
Credentials

Top Tier Athletics is owned by Master Cole Hickey, a 5th-degree Kukkiwon-certified Taekwondo black belt, former captain of the US Army Taekwondo team, and an NFPT-certified personal trainer (with additional NFPT certifications in plyometrics, running mechanics, endurance, and stretch and mobility). The fitness and dance side is led by Coach Kaitlyn, an ISSA-certified nutrition coach and certified POP Pilates instructor who danced with TCU Elite (2010–12) and the UTSA Pom Squad (2008–09). The studio states that all Taekwondo instructors are highly certified and that classes train at an 8-to-1 ratio.
