What Our Students Say

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

Ryan Clay

"I live and train in ATX but when I visit my family in the area I've dropped into this gym and it's a fantastic spot to train. The instruction is top notch, the rolling partners are great, and it is a super welcoming environment. But probably the best part is even though I am visitor I am treated like every other member and the professors make it a point to coach me like any of their other full time students. As someone who travels frequently and trains around the country this has been one of the best experiences. Excited to return for a few classes over the holidays!"

Cory Lawson

"Had a great time training at the Academy! Super welcoming. Clean facility, great rolls, amazing instruction. Really felt like it was grappling at my home gym. 10/10 would recommend!"

Nick Kenhart

"I’m from out of town and did a drop in class. The instructor Vinny was super welcoming and his instruction was first rate. I picked up some details that I will definitely use. The 6 am class had about 10 ppl which was more than I expected for an early class and all the guys were awesome and gave some good rolls. I will definitely come Back next time I’m in town and anyone local should definitely consider joining! It was also super clean. Great place to train!"

yonason cohen

"I came for a trail class because I wanted to check out gyms in the area. It happened to be that one of the instructors passed away the day before so I didn’t get to see what a regular class looks like. But what I did see is that this gym is a strong and supportive community that I think is a unique and hard thing to find environment. They set me up with private lesson on the side of the class to teach me the basics the level of friendliness that I received from the staff was amazing. They also invited me to come back and check out again for free to get a better feel for the gym. Also another thing I saw is the gym is chilled so no bow ins or making you leave the minute class ends. Also all the mats were brand new they have locker rooms and there is plenty of parking. Thank you guys for letting me come by for a free trial."
