Combate Academy

"I can’t say enough good things about this place! First off, the parking situation is fantastic—plenty of great and safe parking available, which is a huge relief. They have a dedicated kids' playroom, so while parents focus on their Jiu Jitsu classes, their kids are happily occupied, allowing for peace of mind. This gym is the cleanest place I’ve ever seen; it’s evident that the owners take pride in maintaining an immaculate environment. The classes offered are exceptional, catering to all skill levels, and I particularly appreciate the women’s open mats and classes that foster a supportive community. What truly sets this place apart is their commitment to giving back. They actively work with the community to collect used gear for underprivileged families, which speaks volumes about their values. The owners are personable and respectful, making everyone feel welcome and part of the family. If you’re looking for a gym that combines quality training with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend training here."

"Absolutely LOVE this place! I tried several schools in the area after moving here and Combate Academy is the best by far. The environment, cleanliness, and attention are unmatched. I attend the morning and evening adult classes, as well as yoga. There is a great variety of skill levels from elite competitors to brand new hobbyists and everything in between. There is also an active group of women who are incredibly supportive of one another! My daughter attends the homeschool classes and we are extremely happy with that program as well! As a curriculum designer and former teacher/coach myself, I can admit to being extremely picky about teaching styles and class environments, so believe me when I say that the kids coaches are FANTASTIC and leave me with no concerns. They have also been extremely accommodating to her disabilities, taking extra care to check in with her and work with her 1:1 when needed. As a parent and athlete, I absolutely could not be happier with Combate Academy and would recommend it to anyone."

"Great for people at all levels of Jiu-Jitsu. My son and I just started a month ago and couldn't happier with the care that Coach Matt and team take to create a fun and engaging learning environment. The community of people is growing here, and we have both made some great friends here. Would definitely recommend if you are close to the Cross Roads, Little Elm, Aubrey areas and surrounding cities. Watching my son's confidence level grow has been great to watch."

"Ive been part of Combate Academy since they opened. Coaches are very knowledgeable and atmosphere is very welcoming. One of the best cultures I’ve experienced in a martial arts gym. All members are friendly and helpful and all around great. I’m happy to be part of this team."
