Instructor was nice when we talked with him at the belt ceremony. I believe they moved locations to here from down the street. This place is apparently an after school care for the surrounding schools and they include this martial arts as part of their classes I believe. They do school pickups too according to their website. We saw their big yellow bus and a mini van parked in front. I saw they had an Online special offering a free uniform and trial class. I filled out the form and they responded via email by asking which school. It's one on their pickup route. After I told them they just never responded. Meh. I think I read they're a family owned business. No prices listed anywhere.

I started training jui jitsu a while back from the recommendation of a friend and wow, what can I…read moresay? I have never looked back. I was really nervous at first because of the thought of grappling with other people but my friend recommended the Maven Jiu Jitsu Academy because of the Professor James Quan and I am glad he did. Professor James comes from a teaching background that translates extremely well into his teaching style and the atmosphere that he creates at this academy which is really incomparable to anything other academy that I have ever experienced. Over the years, I have had the honor to train at several other academies around the country while traveling, including some of the most popular and well respected academies as well as many of the surrounding academies in the greater Houston area and one thing that I can say without a doubt is that this place is special. They are super friendly and welcoming of new students with no experience and that is what really made me stick to this environment for such as long time. It takes away all the anxiety that you get from starting a combat practice like this and really makes you feel at home. I have been so glad to witness my transformation through training not just in a self defense aspect but also physically, mentally and through the many friendships that I have gained. They also have a great kids program that I enrolled both of my kids in and they absolutely love it. So if you are thinking of getting into jiu jitsu or looking to join a martial art that is gentle yet effective, then look no further than Maven Jiu Jitsu Academy. They offer a flexible schedule, competitive pricing, a great beginner and family friendly atmosphere and best of all, a place that will eventually feel like a second home.

I came to watch my friend's son have a belt grading on a Saturday and I was amazed at how many kids…read more(and a few adult students) were at the event. The kids were all very well behaved and seemed as though they really enjoyed the event. I have not been to a normal class but it seems the instructors all know the children by their names and are all very nice! When I was a child, I also went to similar martial arts courses but they were not as large and as fun as the class that Cho was giving. I envied the small children having so much fun with each other and with the instructors. I believe this would be a great place for your little ones (or yourself) to come take courses. The venue is quite large in which there are 3 rooms with various equipment. They have mirrors in one room which I assume the children use to watch themselves while they are learning moves. The lounge area has a few couches where the parents and visitors can have a seat and watch the students. They even have three stalls where you can change. I was quite impressed by the one visit. Check it out if you or your child is interested in learning martial arts with some fun instructors.

Horrible experience at this facility. I'd give this rating ZERO stars if it was an option. The…read moreabsolute only thing good about this facility is the owner Mr. Cho. Mr. Cho is an honest, kind man and it's easy to see that he truly cares about the students. However Mr. Cho can't be everywhere at once. My kids were in the before & after school program and the lady who is responsible for that side of the business is horrible !!! Her name is Ms. Key and she is the one who would get the kids late to school, she's not patient and understanding that kids are kids. She would get my son to text me or my wife to see where we were at almost everyday when we were on the way to pick up our kids. We were never late picking up our kids so I have no clue why she would do that. The facility closes At 8:00 the childcare side closes at 6:30 we were alway there between 6:20-6:30 Never late ! The funny thing is when your child gets hurt by accident or another kid she nor her staff calls the parents it seems like they try to cover it up first. This lady also is a very big liar. She has to talk to all the parents everyday to tell them how bad their kids were. And if the kids weren't bad she'll make small stuff up. She'll continue to lie until she gets caught up in it and you confront her about it. Her assistant named Emily calls kids "little shits" and none of this is made up Ms. Key told us herself that Emily said that. After hearing bad reports everyday we got tired of it and just took our kids back to the daycare that they were at before joining taekwondo.

My wife was very uneasy around guns, by the end of the class she shot 50 rounds of a 45ACP and was hitting the target every time. Chester, the instructor, has a very calm teaching style and just watched my wife shoot while giving her instruction on what to correct. Within 20 minutes my wife had a smile on her face and was hitting the target and knows how to shoot correctly. The next weekend we took the CHL class at MAW and will be going back shooting at the range with Chester and others. They also have a women's shooting club that my wife is going to join.

The coach, Antonio, teaches beginners just as well as those who have been boxing for years. Pound 4 Pound is so much more than average title boxing, it focuses on technique, how to properly defend yourself, & it introduced me to a lot of combinations rather than just jab, cross, & left hook. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to get into boxing for the first time, wants to get back into boxing, or just wants to have an effective and intense work out.
