This place, it's instructors AND the owner are all wonderful people. There have been a number of improvements to the dojo and wonderful additions to the staff. Coach Troy, Coach Charles, Master Moore and Coach Khan have been excellent teachers and role models for the children. They've recently updated their curriculum and Master Moore has brought a high degree of discipline and expert instruction to PMA. Coach Khan is a very caring and involved owner, he listens and truly cares about the children and the families. Coach Khan has amazing vision and kindness. He is always striving to improve his studio. Everyone on this staff is personable, kind, patient and effective. Our son has grown into a more disciplined, independent and persistent young man. We've found this particularly helpful as this has been the ONLY activity that he has remained with this long. He is going into his third year with PMA. Our son has high functioning autism and ADHD and one of the BEST things we found for him was PMA! We've seen a distinct increase in his confidence, attention span, self-regulation and his willingness to help others. This has been a wonderful social outlet for him as well. We highly recommend PMA to any and ALL families who are looking for a physical outlet with role models who will also teach life skills, discipline and resilience.

They go out of their way to make classes fun and host add-on events like extra training classes and themed "Parents Night Out" activities. The dojo is like our second home and we're so grateful for the positive impact this place has had on our family.

Ricky if you are reading this you are very cocky and you should try being more humble. Every thing I said about Ricky is true but the owner texted out to me. Much respect to him. Not his fault for Ricky's poor behavior. He shouldn't have to suffer the the actions of a jackass. 5 stars now

He is not only teaching your child about marital arts, but about honesty, integrity, respect, discipline and so much more. We attend training three days a week and it is a great workout, and our 11 year has learned so much and has significantly increased his flexibility and athleticism. They also have adult fitness classes twice a week which I am hoping to attend. Mr. Hong has three additional instructors that also uphold the strong teaching ethics that he has set forth. We just celebrated our son's 11th birthday party this past weekend with a party sat Eternal Martial Arts and his friends LOVED IT!

From the moment I walked through the doors of this renowned MMA haven, I was welcomed with open hands by an atmosphere pulsating with dedication, discipline, and passion. This place wasn't just a gym; it was a sanctuary where individuals from all walks of life converged to learn, grow, and embrace the art of combat sports.The first thing that struck me was the caliber of trainers and fighters at 4 oz fight club. These were not just instructors; they were seasoned warriors, masters of their craft, whose commitment to excellence was palpable in every session. Their expertise wasn't solely about physical techniques; it was about nurturing a mindset--an unwavering determination to push boundaries and conquer personal limitations. Even if your goal isn't to do Mixed Martial Arts if you just want to focus on one whether you want to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with No Gi, Wrestling, Muay Thai or Boxing. There are elite level trainers in them all. Daniel Pineda who is a UFC veteran and a world ranked fighter is one of the best fighters in the world is the coach for Jiu Jitsu. Tons of talent at the gym as well there are many amateurs and pros always fighting if you are interested and have a goal of learning as much as you can about MMA this is the perfect place. I have only been training for a few months and have gained a ton of knowledge here and I feel like I am only getting started. If you go in there with the right attitude just ready to work hard and absorb the knowledge you can be a sponge it can be the best experience ever. Chico who is the Muay Thai Coach also when he was in his prime was one of the best in the world this was before UFC he was in Strikeforce. Honestly if your goal is to compete in MMA and you are looking for a gym I would say 4 oz Fight Club is the best option. I have been to other small gyms that charge you way more and are nowhere near as good an option as 4 oz fight club whether we are talking about the students or the trainers. This is the best MMA gym in Houston forsure. My experience at 4 oz fight club although is still getting started and I still have a lot of work and training to do has been as good as it can be.

I trained with the owner Art Alvarado for about 3 years for MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I was…read morealways looking forward to his classes! As a young woman it's important to learn self defense and his classes are about as real as you'll get with the real life situation. I learned how to fight standing up and on the ground. MMA Class - consisted of an intense workout drill for the first 15-20 minutes of class Bootcamp style. Then went on to go over technique such as punches and kicks. Towards the end of class you sometimes get to spar with the instructor so that he tests your technique and how you react quickly. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - starts off with a warm up, then he goes over technique step by step like a dance. As a dancer that made it easier to learn and it's those small details that other BJJ schools look over that makes a difference. Then at the end you spar once or twice with someone in class. I tried two other schools before decided for Houston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and they're not as detail oriented as Art who actually went through the Gracie Academy Instructor Program.

Prof Alvarado never answered my Bf question about the estimates, instead makes it a personal matter on how he is old school and assumes my BF wouldn't like the gym. The conversation was truly unprofessional. For someone asking for basic information Prof Alvarado surely did a good job at rejecting a prospect client. The professionalism is at a low level. If I could give this zero stars, I would.
