From our Family, to Yours

Texas Forge Taekwondo is a family owned martial arts school located in the Northside district of Fort Worth, Texas. The school focuses on respect and education through our school’s tenets.  The Munoz family began taekwondo training under Grandmaster Myong Sok Namkung Mayes (9th Dan), U.S. Taekwondo Center (USTC) in Spring Lake, North Carolina. Grandmaster Mayes is the first female in the world to receive the 9th Dan black belt and had remained the only female 9th Dan for over 12 years. She is considered a legend in her home country of Korea and has instilled a solid foundation for us to grow upon.
​
In 2015, Master Joe Munoz retired from the U.S. Army and he and his family moved back home to Fort Worth, Texas. In 2016, the Munoz family opened a dojang in order for their daughters to continue training and compete at a world class level.  Texas Forge Taekwondo is a member of United States of America Taekwondo (USAT) and is U.S. Center for Safe Sport trained/certified.
