What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Keshia Carlton

"We love Heart & Dagger! Coach Clay is amazing, fun, firm, and knows how to connect with the kids. My son (just turned 7) has only been going for three weeks and we’ve already seen a huge difference. He’s excited to go every time, and it’s never a fight. The coaches do a great job of making it fun while still holding the kids accountable and teaching discipline in a way they actually enjoy. Highly recommend!"

Benjamin Annunziato

"We’ve known Coach Clay for over a decade, and in that time, he’s become not just a trusted friend, but a mentor. His experience and the quality of his Jiu Jitsu are truly unmatched. Clay has welcomed our team with open arms, and we’ve had the privilege of sharing mats and knowledge between our gyms many times. Heart & Dagger BJJ isn’t just a place to train—it’s a place to grow. The environment Clay has built is full of good people, tough training, and the kind of energy that leaves you with sweat, smiles, and plenty of submissions. Mineral Wells is incredibly lucky to have a coach as skilled and legitimate as Clay. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and check this place out."

Bob Mallory

"I was a purple belt that ended up taking 8 years off from training and was looking to get back into it. I had friends who trained at Heart & Dagger so that's where I went. It was a little intimidating going back after all that time off but I couldn't have found a better gym. Phenomenal room of training partners and Coach Clay is incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented, making him an exceptional coach to have in your corner. Highly recommend Heart & Dagger to anyone and everyone."

Justin Marshall

"Heart and Dagger BJJ was my first experience with BJJ and I can’t speak highly enough. I’ve now been to many different places from Hawaii to Brazil and I can honestly say that Clay is a fantastic coach, and he has developed an incredible group of athletes. There isn’t a more inviting, inclusive, and all around fun group of people than here at Heart & Dagger BJJ! 10/10 do recommend."
