Coppell ISD consistently earns some of the highest academic ratings in the state — Coppell families set a high bar for everything their kids do, including extracurriculars. BTT North Dallas matches that standard. Our instructors hold championship credentials at the international level, our curriculum is structured and progressive, and our kids programs are designed to complement a school-centered schedule with afternoon and early-evening class times Monday through Friday.
After-school and early-evening class slots on Monday through Friday mean Coppell kids can finish homework, come train, and still have a reasonable bedtime. No scrambling across the metroplex — Irving is a straight shot south down MacArthur or Belt Line.
Little Axes (ages 4-7) builds foundational movement and confidence through guided play. Strong Axes (ages 8-15) introduces real technique, live drilling, and optional competition. Both programs progress systematically so your child always knows what they're working toward.
Professor Leonardo Machado (4th Degree Black Belt, 29+ international gold medals), Professor Misty (Pan Am Champion), and Coach Elion Reis teach every session. This level of instruction is rare anywhere in DFW — and it's just down MacArthur Blvd from Coppell.
BTT Irving is a family gym in the truest sense. Parents train alongside their kids, siblings train together, and the culture emphasizes respect, discipline, and hard work — values that align with what Coppell families already prioritize at home and in school.
