"I’ve been going here for about two years now. I have seen improvement in my self confidence and mental health as well. Ryan and Ethan are great coaches! Everyone is really supportive and helpful. Great place to train."
Olivia Centeno
"My son has been attending Fighting Chance for 3 years now. I’ve personally seen a difference in his metal health, and confidence level. Coach Ryan and Coach Ethan are very knowledgeable and continue to bring new things to the table."

"Where to begin - my first experience with the Morales family, owners of Fighting Chance was in 2019/2020. This husband and wife power duo became an extension of family to me. Humble, confident, skilled, supportive, and genuine are some of the many words that I would use to describe them. Ryan and his son Ethan are diligent in studying the jiu-jitsu game. Whether you're searching for self-defense or sport jiu-jitsu experience - you'll find it here. Yes, there's a difference. I've had many coaches in my life in different places - South Texas, Chicago, Dallas but not many professors. Ryan and Ethan are professors. The team reflects the values that these two carry in their everyday life. Check them out!"
Eric Summers
"Our daughter's love FCA! The coaches are awesome and super supportive. It has helped my kid's grow more confident and become active. Best place to go!"
