Alicia DeDual
"I can’t say enough good things about CJJF McKinney. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with kindness, patience, and a genuine love for teaching and supporting kids. My daughter Delilah was overwhelmed during her trial class — she was crying and asking to go home at the start. As a mom, it broke my heart a little, but the coaches didn’t flinch. They were gentle, understanding, and never once made us feel like we were a burden. By the end of the class, everything had changed. Delilah was laughing, engaged, and asking when she could come back again. I couldn’t believe the transformation in just one session. That speaks volumes about the environment CJJF McKinney has created — one that empowers, uplifts, and encourages even the most hesitant kids. I am so proud of both of my girls, Delilah and Sophia. Watching them grow in confidence and strength, even in these early stages, has filled my heart with joy. I’m so excited to see how far they’ll go in this journey. Thank you, CJJF McKinney, for making our family feel so welcome and supported. You’ve already made a lasting impact, and we’re so grateful to be part of this amazing community."
Denise Little
"My son has been going here for a couple of months now. He loves it! This is something he looks forward to. My husband and I love it too. The coaches and professors who work closely with these kiddos are amazing. You can tell by the way they interact and teach that they want for these kids to succeed. I appreciate the structure, confidence and discipline that is being poured into my son and his team mates. I also love that if feels like a nice friendly community among the kids and their families. We plan on sticking around for a long time."
Kris Bergmann
"My 10-year-old son has been training here for 6 months, and it’s been a great experience. The instructors are skilled with the kids striking a solid balance between structure, discipline, and fun. Classes are well-organized, and the mix of technique and sparring keeps him engaged. The gym has a welcoming, supportive culture, and we’ve seen real growth in his confidence and focus. Highly recommend for kids starting BJJ."
Lauren Scales
"We love CJJF! Professor Jon and every single Coach truly care about teaching my son great ethic, discipline and motivation to learn self defense. We started when the McKinney location opened and the attention to detail with not only the studio, but also each technique the students do is meticulous. Additionally, the passion fire the community around them is evident. We highly recommend CJJF."
