"Nice environment to roll in . Everyone was so skilled and helpful ...I didn't know who the teacher was ...lol .. really pro and family-friendly environment . Good job and hats off to the teacher there !!! Students were a true reflection of the positive and top-notch attitude that they were all trained with . If you have never gone to jujitsu classes before or if you are a seasoned vet ...the vibe was comfortable and a great work out . Thankyou all ."
Christina Cummings
"Have personaly seen him develop young kids into trained fighters and grown ADULTS. One of the best trainers in the state of Texas without a doubt. Would never hesitate to call and recommend coach Larry Willingham for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Very committed to his fighters."
Donovan Loving
"Coach Willingham instructs in a manner that appeals to my children. He takes time to get on their level. He's not unnecessarily militaristic, but knows when to put the hammer down and be stern. Excellent experience one month in to training."
J D
"Kids to adults good place to get training and practice!"
