It's an after school program mainly and a hobby gym. Do your own Google search, you'll get all the…read moreinfo you need. But here's my review after almost a year and a half. Recently, TSMA decided to part ways with half of their good coaches. Those coaches were the best part of the whole place and the only reason I decided to attend classes myself along with my 3 kids. In response I pulled my kids out and also found another gym for myself. In my search I realized just how much I had been over paying for the services I was receiving at TSMA. In my new gym, I get more services for less than half of what I paid TSMA. There is also no uniform requirement. TSMA has a uniform requirement but don't bet on the things you need to have being in stock. The only thing I can say in their defense is they did not charge me any cancellation fess and they let me out of my contract at first request. What they did do is keep my entire months dues, for 4 people, for a month I didn't use. If you do decide to visit this place. Ask for Coaches Courtney or Carlos. If they aren't there, don't waste your time. The other coaches aren't worth it, you know who you are.

It's a tin building with a small room in the back with window units and fans. My son said it's a small room and very crowded. When they moved, they sent an email a couple of days before and didn't bother to mention it would not have A/C. When I notified the owner that we wouldn't be back, she insisted they have a/c and said that it was communicated to us (it was not communicated). Right after they moved, they had to bus the kids to the Yukon campus because it was too hot in the OKC location. I inquired about the a/c situation and was led to believe that it was just a hiccup from moving and that it would be fixed/installed. They NEVER mentioned the main area would not have a/c. The poor employees have to deal with all the back lash from parents. The owners do not seem to understand that a/c in a small room does not count as having a/c! They also charged me a $150 cancellation fee. Normally, I would fight that but I am over dealing with them. It's just bad business. Coach Chantal was the only thing we will miss.

How my BJJ journey began. I commented on an IG post in hopes to win the transformation scholarship…read morethey were offering. The scholarship included tons of things but the biggest "WHY NOT seller" for me was 6 months of unlimited free Jiu-Jitsu Training. that's right FREE. WHO DOES THIS. THIS GYM. THIS GUY. Ty Gay, the owner. In the reel, he stated that BJJ changed his life and he wanted to pay it forward. Everyone has a story on why they start something like this and for me it was "to protect myself". The world is crazy and only getting crazier, so this was kind of a no-brainer for me. Comment: BJJ - try it (who knows, maybe I'll win) THEN maybe a month later, I got an email from the owner, and he said that I WON!! OKAY it just got REAL. I said to myself IF I won, I wanted to take full advantage of everything the gym had to offer, so I made a promise right then and there that I would dedicate my time and go to as many classes as I could go to. SO, when I won, I did exactly that. What I've concluded in my almost ONE YEAR journey: Every single coach in this gym is top tier. Each one has their own unique style and background. So, you get to learn the techniques from different perspectives. I personally love how they take their time with all their students not just one or two. The classes are a mixed bunch, different belt levels, male/female, ages, different body types etc. By attending all of classes I was able to see the coaching standards from everyone, and this gym does a great job at explaining the drills and making self-defense or the "sport of BJJ" fun and effective. The other things I've noticed is you can have white belts and black belts in the same class, and regardless of rank, everyone is treated w/ the same amount of respect. The members are just as great, I feel like this gym keeps out the "rift raff". The new members are being evaluated too. (Which is good practice for any "group fitness" gym). I love how the upper belts in class pay it forward too. They help the "lower" belted students understand the drill and allow you to work. They're not there to just show you how great they are, they teach too. The whole class seems to all help each other, "level up". Kids classes: I've also observed the kids' classes. The other beauty of this sport is it's great for the whole family. If I had daughter, she'd be in it, in a heartbeat. Boys too. I've watched some these kids in just a years' time "level up" their confidence. The respect, these kids have. A+. Their discipline. The brain work, it takes to learn. The patience. The problem solving; the thinking ahead. All great LIFE skills. One of the main the reasons I never wanted to "try" BJJ was mainly because I was scared to get hurt. Sure, you could get hurt, it's a contact sport but there are safety measures that are enforced. TAP - YOU CAN TAP. YOU CAN TAP EARLY. You can pick and choose who you roll with, you can refuse rolls, if you're female and you only want to roll with women, you have that right. The coaches do a great job at mentioning this to new members and remind the classes every now and again, that each member has this right (and it's not weird, or frowned upon). Class times are great, consistent. No change in schedules - same times. Basics and fundamentals classes are laid out month to month. The All-levels classes are monthly focused goals. There's a women's only self-defense class that's starting up. An open mat. Lots of pluses with Redline. I'm proud of myself for trying it out, my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I was going to start maybe 5 years ago but I didn't want to wear that "HOT" OUTFIT - PS.. the GI is probably my favorite, so don't let that stop you, but if it does, they have NOGI! Try out REDLINE if you're in the area, you won't regret it. I'm thankful for my REDLINE family. (Yes, I called them family, it's more than a gym, try them out!!! I waited a year to write this because I didn't want to sound biased since I did win the transformation scholarship. Scholarship or no scholarship this is what I've experienced training with Redline. AND again, my only regret is I didn't sign up sooner! Redline is fantastic for a beginner or someone with experience! Don't miss out!

I have began training a little over a month at Redline Jiu-Jitsu. Prior to enrolling with Redline I…read morespent a month searching for a place to learn the fundamentals. I did enjoy a few alternative places but when I attended Redline's session I felt confident this was the place I would understand the fundamentals and begin my curriculum. At the other locations I felt as if I was thrown into the fire and trying to pickup something I did not understand. I also didn't remember what I was shown when I left. There are people that are fast learners, however, I am not fortunate to be one of those people for self defense and grappling techniques so structure is what I need. Ty and Jen are great people and amazing instructors with a well organized curriculum especially for beginners such as me. They have passion in what they teach and care for students to understand situations and scenarios. They explain thoroughly (from what to do, what not to do, along with cause and effect of both) and walk students through steps until each one gets it. Most of the places I went the owners weren't there and at Redline I've always seen Ty or Jen or both teaching class. I enjoy this place. I will not miss a class because I am having fun and learning.
