They'll still smash you when you roll, but they'll let you work in various positions and learn. Technique instruction is also solid and the coach provides a lot of feedback during drilling.

My five year old just started here a few weeks ago and I must say I've been very pleased. I was in…read morejiu jitsu in my earlier years and I know the kids coaches can be a mixed bag sometimes although most all of the ones I had in the past have been great guys. The coaches at Village of Wolves have been some of the best kids coaches I've seen . . . so patient and kind with him especially coach Mike and coach Ivan but they also have the hard-to-find ability to be just the right amount of firm with him when they need to be with out being too harsh or using an angry tone and quickly back to business after saying what needs to be said and getting him back on track. They do an excellent job of keeping him safe and not letting him goof off too much for his and other kids' own safety but also not being too overbearing and giving him a little slack until it becomes an issue. Going here has really helped with his confidence and toughness. He used to cry or run to mommy for any little bump or bruise but now he's seeing that a little bit of discomfort isn't the end of the world. He can't wait to go every week. Great job guys and thank you!

I've only been sporadically but these people are good and the environment is super friendly.read more

Unexpected fee after cancellation + refund refused…read more We enrolled our son, Talen, at Johns Gym in Austin and withdrew/cancelled his membership in April as a result of a blood clot and condition that does not allow him to box anymore. After the cancellation, we were still charged an additional fee. We contacted the gym right away to request a refund, but we were told we missed the reimbursement/refund window, so a refund would not be provided. I understand businesses have policies, but this felt frustrating and unfair given that we had already withdrawn him. I'm leaving this review so other families clearly understand the billing and refund timelines before signing up. I'd appreciate the gym revisiting this situation and making it right.

I'm a beginner to BJJ and tried out various gyms around me in South Austin. As a woman and a…read morebeginner, the BJJ scene can be intimidating. Gracie Humaitá was BY FAR the friendliest and most accessible to beginners & women. They have free beginner classes twice/week (they even let you borrow gis!) so you can try out the sport with no commitment and learn the basics in a very safe environment (vs some other gyms where they put me into regular classes with very little instruction). The instructors are all incredibly nice and great teachers, and most of the beginner classes have other black or colored belts who walk around answering questions and helping you on the moves. Paulo, the head instructor, is also very friendly, inclusive, and promotes a great culture at the gym. After about a month doing beginners classes, I signed up for the membership, bought my own gi, and am thrilled to continue my BJJ journey! If it weren't for finding Gracie Humaitá, I likely would have quit after a couple classes at any of the other gyms I tried out. This gym, instruction, and community has been incredible, and I hope anyone who's on the fence gives them a try!

I complained several times about an individual named Creig O'Obrien. An obese white belt that would…read morepick fights with the other lower belts on the mat and in the changing room. My complaints went unheard. I quit and over a year's time, several others quit too. They only removed him after he bit someone in sparring. Then he just went to the Humaita in Cedar Park, where I was attending the veteran training days because I'm a veteran with PTSD, but he would just show up to those classes too even though he wasn't a veteran. He would do it to harass me. So I quit going there too. Finally he was kicked out of there 6-12 months later. I cannot support a school that doesn't take harassment or threats of abuse from their members seriously. Creig is still in the community and he fights amateurs Muay Thai at local bars. I cannot recommend this school because of their behavior in this matter.

What gym hell must be like. Didn't realize this is basically a cross fit gym combined with the…read moreworst elements of the most ghetto Planet Fitness location. People walking around shirtless, dripping sweat, stinking, in bare feet, only socks, crocs, and Teva sandles. Nasty. Old dilapidated and low quality dumbbells, only 2 old treadmills and a few of the manual treadmills, no fixed weight barbells, a bathroom falling apart with the toilet bowl cover hanging on by one hinge. No air conditioning. Hot and smelly. Humid atmosphere. Couldn't draw up a worse gym in my imagination. To me it's 1 star but I guess to cross fit cultists this is what they like. Only a few smoothie choices and no chicken wraps or anything in their nutrition bar or whatever it's called. If you know how to work out and don't need or want a trainer or group then this place is definitely not for you. They do an incredible job on marketing and must edit photos or take superb angles like a catfish on tinder. Almost thinking they pay influencers to hype this place up. Either way I'd prefer the most basic Planet Fitness or Crunch 100x over this. In fact I'd rather get chubby and not work out over having to work out in an environment like this again.

I signed her up so she could learn to defend herself & gain self confidence. It's definitely working! I see how she's changed from her 1st week to now 2.5 months in.

Which I believe is great for her later on in life, all in all it's a win win. This is family oriented but with the right amount of intensity for the kids in the training.

I tried the class pass with this school on the Muay Thai classes with 2 different instructors. The…read moreclass was okay but seemed kind of basic. The instructors seemed a bit more like salesmen trying to get people interest rather than focusing on the training. One of them ended up comparing hypotenuse and kaizens with techniques... Overall the cost was above average in addition to contract fees and uniform. I did not try the jujitsu so idk what that's like. It's possibly better. I will say there the students get quite a bit of attention from the instructors if you are looking to get constant feedback on training

I attended classes here regularly for several months. After a while the quality of the classes…read morebegan to decline steadily. Finally I just stopped attending, wasting about 6 months of my prepaid year. I thought that was it until suddenly they started billing me again. I contacted them immediately and they said they auto renewed my contract, despite the fact that I hadn't attended in months. They called it "standard business practice." Dumb but fine, just be aware of that. After that things got really bad. The cancellation process was anything but standard. First of all they wanted a contract cancellation fee, a months class fee and late charge fee. I was told I had to email them cancel, despite speaking with them directly. Even after I emailed them, they still made me come in person to settle the final bill. When I arrived, I was made to wait, only to realize later that the owner or head instructor was on his way. When he got there, he sat between me and the door and spent nearly an hour leaning in aggressively pressuring me to sign back up. I told him several times I wasn't interested and that my mind was made up, but he wouldn't let me cancel and leave. Unfortunately, after about 30 minutes of this, I gave in. I'm ashamed to admit I let myself be bullied into renewing a contract I didn't want. For a place that claims to build confidence, the experience felt more like a flashback to dealing with high school bullies. I'll never return, and now I'm stuck paying nearly $500 just to get out of the contract I didn't want. Very disappointing. Definitely more 1980s Cobra Kai than Miyagi-Do. I absolutely would not recommend this place.

The classes I've attended the most are the morning classes Professor Davis definitely has a lot of high level moves and concepts but breaks it down so that it's scaffolded to all levels. He's literally said 'you can stop here if you're comfortable.' He's also very accessible, both as an instructor and just as a human being. There isn't a rigid formality here so if you have a question or are frankly, lost like I frequently am you can just stop and ask for help without being afraid of being 'that guy.' I had to pause due to surgery/recuperating and it was as easy pausing my billing and being told if I needed more time to just let them know. I'm looking forward to get back on the mats and start training again-where I'm definitely going to have to ask a lot of questions.

I want to give a review as a student from both the past and the present at this establishment. My…read moreexperience with Master Martial Arts and Master Sam Um has been nothing short of incredible. I originally started practicing Taekwondo here when I was much younger, early through late middle school. I was always engaged in every aspect of the class: Master Um makes an unbelievable effort to ensure every student of his is properly trained and gets individual attention throughout the class time to heighten their skills. When I reached highschool, I stopped after achieving a red belt due to my schedule not fitting, but had always wanted to go back and continue training because the classes were so fun and useful. Now, at age 21 and a full time student in college, I have returned to train in TaekwonYusul. From my understanding, "Taekwon" means "striking" and "Yusul" means grappling. Master Um has created a new hybrid of the traditional martial arts (Taekwondo, Gonkwon Yusul, Brazillian Ju Jitsu, Judo) labeled TaekwonYusul to emphasize it's heightened practicality over other single-focus arts. This is hands-down one of the most effective and useful martial arts I've discovered through my years of experience, and incorporates techniques from other martial arts that just WORK. I would say that TaekwonYusul is more of a taditional style mixed martial art, which gives it an advantage over most other options. The classes are structured, we spar with padding and safety equipment every class, and you will 100% be accomadated to whatever skill level you start at. With my Taekwondo background helping in the striking areas, I was surprised by how quickly I was finding myself retaining grappling techniques. All of the other students are wonderful and very helpful, often offering to teach you more in depth technique if you seem to be having a hard time grasping any concepts. I was very surprised to learn that TaekwonYusul hasn't been proffessionally recognized as a new martial art, but I have no doubt that in a few years this will be practiced by gyms accross the world. As for Master Um, he is one of the best teachers and coaches I've had throughout my life, always attentive and eager to teach and ready to demonstrate a technique the moment you have a question. His credibility is unbelieveable, having over 40 years of experience with martial arts and winning many competitions for Taekwondo in his youth. He's trained over 5,000 students, and that figure is from when I was a kid. I just want to say that if you read this whole thing, please consider joining. It might be the most exciting and engaging thing you get to look forward to going to after school or work. Thank you Master Um, I look forward to continuing my training. Thanks for reading, Yelp!
