When I started our academy in 2004, I knew that I wanted a different type of atmosphere than what was considered the 'norm'. My biggest compliment came when a Dad told me, You know, I never thought I would ENJOY training alongside my daughters this much!

McAllen Family Martial Arts Academy is a great place for kids to develop confidence coordination and respect. Our son loves going and learning the "cool new moves". Shifu Flores is very patient and encouraging, always pushing them to do better while keeping it fun. Parents can get in on the fun as well!

Wow when it says “family”martial arts academy it really means family. Like it has all the family involved and helping out in some way ,and the instructor/shifu is very helpful and is always willing to help all the students learn all they can,and is never rough with the students. The classroom is fantastic. Everyone is very friendly. This is honestly the best martial arts academy in the valley. I highly recommend it to all ages.

Our experience at this academy really has improved my daughters problems with bullying. She has now learned how to defend herself when she needs to. Also learned valuable techniques to protect herself. She is no longer scared, and that is a great feeling as a parent. Thanks to her awesome Shifu who is a great instructor and who has provided a great family atmosphere.

My son has been attending for a few months now and I couldn't be happier. The confidence, self esteem and fitness attributes have all taken a step forward after joining. I wanted my son to have some extra beneficial life skills before moving up to middle school and I feel he's definitely learning them here!
Highly recommended!

Our 6 year-old son loves attending lessons at Family Martial Arts. He has learned so many great techniques and discipline. He looks forward to his classes and enjoys every minute. Shifu is amazing with the kids and also gets the parents involved in their lessons. I recommend Family Martial Arts to any parent looking to instill confidence, discipline, and respect in their child.

My family and I have been loyal students of Shifu Israel Flores for over 6 and a half years. In all this time, we have known him to be an expert in his field and very caring of all of his students and their families. I have seen Shifu take super shy, insecure students and help them become confident and proud students who can defend themselves, when needed. My boys have both earned their Black Belts, with Shifu's training, and they continue to want to learn more. My Nicky always tells me he wants his "Shifu belt" and is super determined, like his brother, Fidel,...and me. We highly recommend this

My family and I absolutely love it here. My son enjoys learning and being a part of a community. The instructors are amazing with their students. They are always so patient and encouraging towards my son. I know he is learning life long skills and I can't wait to see his growth with Shifu's training! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication!

My son started here about 4 months ago. He has also been in another martial arts school previously, but did not like it. This time however he absolutely loves it at McAllen Family Martial Arts Academy. The atmosphere is positive and fun. He has learned so much in a short period of time. I would highly recommend this school for all levels of students. As an occupational therapist I have recommended this school to my pediatric clients and the transformation in participation in community activities went from no particiation to the child gaining confidence to also joining in other community activities
