He was sad when we left and when we found out about Team Tooke I asked him to try it out. My son LOVES it here! Professor Tooke and JP are so sweet and welcoming. We love all the professors and coaches that are apart of this Team Tooke academy because they all have genuine interest and connections with all of their students. My son asks me to go EVERYDAY. Professor Jae & Professor Cody teach my kiddo along with amazing coaches Gary, Eddie, Javi, and etc. since day one they made an effort to KNOW my child, teach and encourage. Team Tooke also makes sure he's not only successful in the Dojo but at life/home skills as well! I am so proud to be apart of the Team Tooke community and encourage you to make that phone call and check it out for yourself! My son loves it so much he told his friends about it and their parents even signed up their children! And it all begins with Professor Tooke And JP themselves! Tell them you read Jennifer's Post and go try it out for yourself or your kiddo! You won't regret it!!!!

The guy was one of the affliction mma wearing gear type of guys. Just really cocky be rude. The owner seemed pretty cool until I told him about how rude and cocky his head trainer Ricky was. He then got all defensive. Needless to say I didn't sign up. The people that trained there seemed pretty nice and down to earth. Mao glad when Ricky shivers got tkoed by Derrick Lewis in legacy. 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

Stepping into the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) at the gym 4 oz fight club was a transformative…read moreexperience that surpassed my wildest expectations. 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 bumped into the owner (TKD & BJJ Black Belt instructor) Jimmy Holmes before they opened this new location as I was peering through the windows after getting a coffee next door. I ended up getting a full tour of the facility & the plans for their use of the back building to be a competition/tournament sized mat space with a weight training setup as well. It is a beautiful facility, they're still doing upgrades here & there, but my favorite little fact about it is that the dumbbell rack in the back goes all the way up to 150lbs!! They offer a great selection of youth classes with a mix of high level men & women instructors. The team, THE TEAM!! They have competition medal winners across the board in martial arts & a great team atmosphere! Boys, girls, men, women, tons of competitors & winners, but minimal ego. Personally, I was only living here while I completed an internship for my degree program, but they've been very welcoming & accommodating during my short stay with them. I look forward to visiting in the future & getting some rolls in on a Sunday Open Mat or Warrior Wednesday where we just roll 10 rounds in lieu of a structured BJJ class. All love, I'll be back!
