What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Remigio Hernandez
"Balcones Heights is where I started my BJJ journey with the 42 day challenge. It was nice because I was in a class amongst mostly challengers. So the coaches at the time were able focus a lot of attention on us challengers. The same continues today where most of the challengers are sent to balcones heights to get the basic training. As someone who has been under Professor Daniel for four years I am now a coach myself for the kids class. Not only has this journey been fun it has changed my life all around.

Jennifer Madrigal
"Just attended the no gi class and the vibe was fierce. Got in a great workout and everyone there had tips and tricks to take your technique to the next level. I highly recommend joining Team Shark. 💪"
Zach Blaha
"This location is a closer drive for me than the main location and still receives great classes, and since there is less people, you get more advice and attention. I went here for most of my six week challenge and still plan on coming here for the 6:30 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays!"
Alejandro Esquivel
"I started out as a 42 day challenger and was definitely pushed by the coaches and professor. I would highly recommend the program for anyone looking to get into the sport as they take their time with explanations and give great feedback, fitness tips, and program to follow."
