My daughter and I have been a part of the Strong Arm family for almost a year now and we love everything about it! Justin Barker and Josh Holliday make a great team in running both sites, and ensure a positive and encouraging atmosphere for both kid and adult programs with plenty of opportunities for extra training in Wresting, Kickboxing and more. Whether your goal is to actively compete in Jiu Jitsu or MMA events, or just to personally challenge yourself Strong Arm is a great place to start your journey.

Strong Arm Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been an incredible blessing for me and my grandson. Is it easy: Absolutely not, but very rewarding. We’ve been members of this family for about 1 1/2 years; and make no mistake, this is a very welcoming and accepting family. BJJ is the focus, but there are also a Wrestling and Tae Kwon Do programs available. Fantastic instructors! For my grandson who was 6 yrs old when he started: he always wanted to go from the beginning, but he had serious focus issues. Those issues have greatly diminished with the behavior expectations and standards to which this Strong Arm family holds him accountable. My grandson has developed the skill and confidence to successfully complete in grappling tournaments throughout Texas. Strong Arm kids are always on the medal podium. This is due to the high level instruction and curriculum delivered at Strong Arm. I’m always getting questions and compliments regarding our Strong Arm kids at tournaments. People are generally highly impressed. For me at age 57, there was a 3-4 week adjustment period. I’d roll and would barely be able to move for a few days, but I’m glad I stuck with it. There are many higher level belts that help teach me & are careful not to hurt me too bad or let me hurt myself. I could go on & on, but like I said, being a part of this family is a blessing. Way more than I deserve.

We love Strong Arm! The Jiu-Jitsu classes helped my son develop confidence, focus and a competitive edge. Along with a variety of other classes like MMA, Wrestling, Judo & Tkd. All the professors, coaches and instructors are professional, patient and kind. Coach Justin Barker and his wife, Lisa create an inclusive and warm environment, they and the other Strong Arm members have become part of our family. Strong Arm is an amazing place to learn Jiu-Jitsu, get fit and make friends!

Strong Arm BJJ is a great place to train. As a Law Enforcment Officer I feel it’s important to train grappling. Often encounters end up in a grappling situation where an LEO will have to subdue and gain control of a subject. Founder Justin Barker and his wife Lisa offer free training to all law enforcment officers and first responders…this is not something you see anywhere. Which shows they genuinely care and their willingness to give back to the community. They offer wrestling, MMA and Tae Kwon Do classes as well. My daughter has been training Jiu Jitsu here for years and my youngest daughter just started her journey. Kids are showed discipline, self respect, accountability as well as great technique and skill. Adults classes are very technical and cater to all levels…beginners and beyond. It is a great family atmosphere where everyone knows your name, is respectful and looking to have fun yet train hard. It’s a vibe that can’t be matched. Give it a try.

Justin is a fantastic and caring instructor. If you want to learn jiu jitsu he shows great technique. Strong Arm is a very family oriented place that I would recommend to anyone for the parents or the kids. You’ll lose weight without even trying while learning really cool and useful stuff. They also gave a wrestling program which is top notch coached by a top 5 ranked wrestler!!
