Ragan, the kids, and I spend almost every night training and it's been an amazing experience. I can't even begin to explain the positive impact the art of Jiu Jitsu and the Pit Viper family has had on my life. After every class, I leave exhausted, sweaty, and overjoyed with happiness. I'm not only intrigued with the new skills I am being taught but more importantly its the camaraderie and the support from my Sidewinder family. Everyone is there to improve their own skills, advance their belts, and some are even preparing for competitions. Not once has me, the new guy , felt left behind. The amount of support and encouragement is top notch. I want to specifically thank Professor Coy Clements, Jessey Grissom, Matt Pitchford, Tonya Fox, and Marc Parsons. You all are a true blessing to me and my family. I can't thank you enough for the amount of time and sacrifices you make to help myself, Ragan, and the kids. I really appreciate what you do and look forward to many more years of training with you all!!! For anyone wanting an experience of a lifetime, I recommend you coming down to Sidewinder Jiu Jitsu and give it a try. OSS!!!!!!!!

The owner of Tactical Krav Maga in Aubey claims to be Madrik Clay, but his real name is Larry Clay Lonis. He has used the following and other aliases: 1. Coach Clay 2. Tiger Clay 3. Clay Dux 4. LC Kravskie 5. Klay L'Honis 6. Klay L'Onis 7. Larry C. L'Onis 8. Larry L'Onis 9. Professor Moreh Yoneesh (2016, Amarillo, owned a Krav Maga school after leaving Grapevine) His story started in Lubbock a couple of decades ago when he operated a karate school and is said to have left town unexpectedly and with students' dues in tow. For some time in the 2010's, he was in Grapevine running his Monster X Camp, which later changed name to Reaction Fitness and Self-Defense, and where he offered Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and kickboxing. REACTION FITNESS & SELF-DEFENSE - CLOSED - 13 Photos - 445 E Nortwest Hwy, Grapevine, TX - Yelp In January of 2016 he started a 6-week weight loss and fitness challenge, where participants who lost 20 lbs. would be reimbursed their fee and roll into the next 6-week session free of charge. Problems started quite soon. There was little equipment, gym remodeling never got completed and worse, trainers wouldn't last long on the job. At the end of the first 6-week session, several participants qualified for fee reimbursement but never received it. He was evasive or accused them of not qualifying, writing all this on social media for all other participants to see. He also bad-mouthed the trainers. With the 2nd 6-week session, many more people signed up, but by then training sessions were cancelled quite often and there was a general sense of mistrust toward anything he said or promised. Trainers complained about not getting paid or having payroll checks bounce. At least one trainer complained of receiving veiled threats from Larry, as did participants. Sometime in February or March, participants reported to the gym to find a locked, empty building. Cristin Severence, formerly with CBS in Dallas did an investigative report on him in 2016 regarding the 6-Week Challenge. https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/news/customers-we-lost-weight-money-at-bogus-fitness-boot-camp/ Larry moved to Amarillo where he opened his next Krav Maga school, which lasted only several months. He returned to Lubbock and found an investor to help him open a Krav Maga school; I'm told the investor sued him for breach of contract. In 2019 the court ordered Larry to pay back the investor, but he has paid less than 10% of the money owed. Somewhere about this time I heard he worked as a bouncer and also as a motorcycle salesperson. I'm told his claim to holding a 5th degree black belt in Krav Maga is false. At his current business, an individual who was hired to teach Karate at the Aubrey school left after facing the usual problems and promises, and opened his own school in a nearby city. Recent members have complained of charges continuing to be made to their cards after they quit the gym. Some of the businesses he has owned: 1. Tiger Martial Arts, Lubbock 2. Coach Larry Clay Ministries 3. MXC Keller (Monster X Camp) 4. Monster X Camp Grapevine 5. Amarillo Krav Maga, Amarillo 6. Krav Maga school, Lubbock 7. Tactical Krav Maga - Aubrey/Pilot Point, present I strongly suggest that you research this man before you pay him any money and certainly before you trust him with your debit or credit card information.

We tried a couple of the schools, but Warrior was the most accomodating and really tried to help him over what had happened previously and to make him feel a part of the Warrior family. I've found that they have the best balance between "stand up" training and "on the ground" work, done in a safe, controlled environment, with great instructors who really work with the kids to create a positive environment. The training includes an emphasis on respect, not only for the instructors at the academy, but for parents, school teachers and their peers, helping them to become "bully proof" without becoming bullies themselves. Additionally, parents can train for free, in classes set up for them. My wife participates in the stand up and grappling classes. You'd be hard pressed to find a place with a better set of instructors (the new McKinney instructor is a BJJ master from Brazil).
