I started training about a year ago after having to stop training at another school about 12 years ago due to spinal issues. I was able to come to TEAM CHIP because they let me modify my training. I’m still able to advance through my curriculum, but if it is not good for me to do, I can modify it. The leaders help you with whatever modifications need to be made based on whatever your injury is.The leadership is amazing and they care about each person who trains there. It is a family atmosphere that everyone feels when they come in the door. I’m so thankful that I get to train again and thankful for TEAM CHIP.

In 2012, the Kinsey family moved to Abilene, Texas, from Little Rock, Arkansas. Little did we know that we would quickly join the Team Chip family, and begin a journey unlike any other. Team Chip is a premier martial arts facility with wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Nearly 10 years later, my daughter earned her First Degree Black Belt and my son is on his own path to earning his Black Belt. Team Chip is more than just exercise. My kids learned what it means to persevere, be courteous, be honorable, have integrity, and just be a good human. We love living the Team Chip Life, and wouldn’t be where we are, without our Team Chip family!

100% the best martial arts gym ever! The kids class is super fun, they’re very clear and are extremely motivating. The teen/adults class is just as fun and we had a blast here. 10/10 would recommend to anyone trying to get into martial arts.

This place is awesome. Their personnel are very well trained and they are establishing in my child confidence. They are so kind and compassionate and care about my child and it shows. You guys rock Team Chip!Update 4-26-21. I just started karate and its is awesome. I cant feel my legs and i died twice I think but I havent been this excited about something in a long time. They are so good at meeting you where you are at (physically/mentally) and encouraging you. Ive been bringing my son here for three months but feel like family here. Give this a try you will not regret it!

We love Team Chip. There are so many wonderful things to say about this martial arts family. What the instructors have instilled in my children, my children will carry all their lives. The integrity, leadership, preserverance is world class. I am forever thankful for the last 5+ years we have been a part of Team Chip. The are not just teaching martial arts, self defense....they are breathing life into every single person that walks through that door.

Team Chip is by far the best place in the whole country. I have trained at gyms from all over and there is no comparison. The entire staff of instructors are phenomenal and incredibly knowledgeable. The programs are amazing. The little dragons program has taught my kid so much about determination, perseverance, confidence, courtesy, and respect. The instructors do a great job with keeping the children engaged and ensure they are learning the curriculum.The adults the TKD program is legendary. My wife loves it and enjoys the workout, self defense, and drive that the class motivates her to be the best.The BJJ program is amazing and it’s growing! The techniques and workouts you get every class are awesome. You learn new techniques on defense and leave the gym drenched and smiling! Being former Military this class has helped me in more ways than one. The group that trains in BJJ has a tight Brotherhood/sisterhood.All classes are welcoming and there is no ego. Everyone there wants you to become part of the family and will do whatever they can to help you. The Abilene community honestly has no idea how fortunate they are to have Chip and his family teaching the current and future leaders of the Big Country.The best part is YOU DONT HAVE TO BE IN SHAPE TO START!!!!Just show up.

Team Chip is amazing!!! They are not a business - they are a family!!! I could not say enough amazing things about this wonderful place. The work ethic and character (not to mention making him a well rounded martial artist) they have reinforced in our son’s life is insurmountable. I will forever love my Team Chip family 🙏🏽

Team Chip Martial Arts is a safe, family based business with high level training in a clean , uplifting atmosphere. I highly recommend them for any age. I am 64 yrs old have been training at TCMA for almost 20 yrs and have never had an injury while training. They will design a program for any age group or physical limitations.

My children have been taking classes at team chip for almost 4 years, and we really love it! The instructors are wonderful, and the other families are like our family now, too. My kids (and i) learn such valuable information, not only their tae kwon do skill, but life lessons, too. When my youngest is able to start, she will definitely be on the mat, too!

Review №26

My son, Ryder, has been training at Team Chip for almost a year. When l first started taking him he was unsure of himself, shy and he hadn’t really found many activities that he wanted to be a part of. He has always made good grades, but he tended to be a little too “social” when he was expected to be quiet. He would squirm and fidget when he was expected to be still. He didn’t want to go at first...he would hide his face in my leg and want to hang on to me. They had a hard time getting him to speak out and be loud and he didn’t really want to bow! Now he begs me to go to class! He walks in confidently and I’ve seen his focus improve tremendously. He has found a place where he fits in and has set huge goals for himself. His principal at school told me last week what a polite kid he is, and that he always walks right in in the mornings and looks adults in the eye and shakes their hand and speaks to them. This is huge for Ryder! In a world where raising boys can be a little scary I’m sure glad we found Team Chip!!

My Grandson was a part of the Team Chip Program when my daughter/family loved in Abilene, Texas. Phillip absolutely loved it there and he worked very hard, giving it his all towards each belt. Phillip had to work a little bit harder than others, overcoming his short stature...but Team Chip goes above and beyond, in so many ways, enabling Phillip to accomplish each task. Team Chip certainly won my heart. They are wonder, they really care!

Team Chip has been instrumental in the growth and maturity of our three boys. They have developed personal strength, integrity and discipline (all modeled by the leadership there). Over the years, the group has become like family, and our boys have become more confident knowing they have a place where they are unconditionally accepted and supported. We appreciate you guys!

My nephews started with Team Chip before I even had kids, but I knew when I did have kids I wanted them at Team Chip. The instructors at Team Chip are great at teaching respect, courtesy, perseverance, self control, and how to be intrinsically motivated. They motivate with positive attention and with setting a great example. The instructors are respectful to the kids and get their points across, teaching techniques and correcting behavior without humiliating or demeaning the kids. My son truly looks up to his teachers and is excited to go nearly everyday. I cant wait until my two-year-old and baby are old enough to start.

A while back I was interested in getting back into martial arts from a time when my kids were younger. I visited just about every martial arts business in Abilene and nothing felt right. As soon as I stepped into the doors of Team Chip TKD, I knew this was where I belonged. The atmosphere is positive, everyone is interested in your success, and the training is top notch.I didnt know I was missing the greatest opportunity to better myself, learn, practice better mental discipline, and getting to know a great group of people in the process.Over the past year I have become more active, advanced belt levels, and have turned a new chapter of my life. The people here at TEAM CHIP are an awesome group of people who want to see you succeed. The instructors will push you to be your best and train you to achieve your personal best. You will gain a power in your life that is will propel you to the next level in all aspects of your life. Your self esteem will bump to the next level and your confidence in all aspects of your life will increase.If you are looking for a great personal opportunity, give Team Chip TKD a try. You might find out that you have been missing the opportunity of a lifetime.

Team Chip is more of my familys identity than just about anything else. What was originally a casual activity for our oldest son when he was just four years old, has become who and what we are. I would of never dreamed that waking in the door at 2218 S. 14th street 14 years ago, would be one off the best decisions Ive ever made.My children have developed into amazing young adults and my wife and I have found a calling in our own Team Chip Alamo City business. The possibilities are there for you too!

Team Chip TKD has been the best experience for my family. They are caring, respectful, professional, world-known, and love my boys like they are their own children. They have taught them self-confidence, self-esteem, courage, courtesy, respect for others, manners, as well as control of their own bodies. All through a form of martial arts. We now have two very different boys from the first day we walked through the doors. I am very proud of the men they are becoming because of Team Chip and the morals and values of Mr. Chip and Mrs. GlynAnn, as well as, all of the instructors there. I HIGHLY recommend this program for anyone!

Review №47

One of the best experiences of my life! If you want to seriously train in flexibility and elegant but powerful martial arts forms (especially leg technique), look no further! The minimum instructor level is 3rd-4th degree black belt, and there are many, many 1st and 2nd degree black belts that have been training here for years and can help you learn, in addition to a large number of new students of all ages and body types. Team Chip will absolutely help you to reach your maximum potential, not only in self-defense, but in discipline and confidence, no matter where you are in life. However, if you are only wanting to beat people up, you might look somewhere else instead. Safety, mutual respect and kindness are priorities here.

We have been part of Team Chip for about 3 years. Our son is a heart patient and we had to be selective about the sports he participated in. This has been one of the best decisions we could have made. Not only is he stronger, more flexible, and healthier, but he is confident and self-assured. Team Chip improves the WHOLE person. One of the things I most appreciate is the open communication between parents, students, and instructors. They really listen and care for each student and hold that student to a high standard. I started taking classes myself almost 2 years ago. I had never been athletic but now I couldnt imagine not going to TKD. I love that we get to train together!Team Chip is so much more than a Martial Arts School. They offer free womens self defense classes and anti-bullying classes for children. Owners Chip and Glyn Ann Townsend and all the instructors are community-oriented and support local businesses. In addition to traditional TKD classes, Team Chip offers Weapons class, Sparring Class, Hyper class, and private lessons. Class times are offered 6 days a week so it is convenient for any schedule.We love the family atmosphere and the great people there. Highly, highly recommend this to everyone!

We have been with Team Chip since March 2016. My son, daughter, husband and myself are on the mat. They teach more than tae kwon do. My children are learning discipline, dedication, leadership, how to have confidence, respect, integrity...and they encourage them in their school work. We are so thankful to be a part of the Team Chip family.

Team Chip TKD is genuinely the best. If you are looking for a world class place to train this is it. Team Chip TKD has something for everyone. If you are looking for a place to get in shape, break a sweat, learn martial arts, or self defense, there is no better place in Abiline.

Didnt realize It had been 4 years since I wrote this. I remain steadfast in the opinion stated below.I study TKD at Team Chip and am continually impressed at the quality of the instruction and the instructors. There is a constant state of positive reinforcement and support at TC. The teachings of respect and proper use of ones skills are heavily emphasized in word and action from the smallest and youngest to the older students like me. The instructors are not only skilled in the art of TKD but are quality people outside of the school and great contributors to our community.I am proud to be a part of the Team Chip Family.

I am the Founder and President of KICKPICS LLC - Professional Martial Arts Photography and we travel the world doing photo shoots at martial arts schools. At every photo shoot, there is always one or two students that stand out for whatever reason, whether it be how awesome their technique was or how respectful, courteous or just plain memorable they were. Team Chip TKD was LOADED with these stand-outs! So much talent at the school at all ages and ranks, such a friendly environment and, most important, EXCELLENT leadership. Mr. and Mrs. Townsend are crazy talented martial artist and care and appreciate each and every student that trains with them. I havent trained in martial arts in over 20 years, but if I lived closer, I would actually start training again. We HIGHLY recommend this school.

I’ve been training with Team Chip Tae Kwon Do for almost 10 years now (Since June 2003) and there is no doubt my association with Team Chip Tae Kwon Do has completely enriched my life well beyond what can ever be described in a Google Review. I walked thru their door with no prior knowledge of TKD and was welcomed into an environment that inspires one to cultivate the talents they have within regardless of physical limitations. I’ve been blessed with all I’ve learned from Masters Chip & Glyn Ann Townsend (and all the other instructors/students) and I’m honored to consider them my 2nd family. They truly live-up to the motto “Empowering people through the pursuit of personal martial arts excellence.”
