Houston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club - MMA Class

I trained with the owner Art Alvarado for about 3 years for MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I was…read morealways looking forward to his classes! As a young woman it's important to learn self defense and his classes are about as real as you'll get with the real life situation. I learned how to fight standing up and on the ground. MMA Class - consisted of an intense workout drill for the first 15-20 minutes of class Bootcamp style. Then went on to go over technique such as punches and kicks. Towards the end of class you sometimes get to spar with the instructor so that he tests your technique and how you react quickly. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - starts off with a warm up, then he goes over technique step by step like a dance. As a dancer that made it easier to learn and it's those small details that other BJJ schools look over that makes a difference. Then at the end you spar once or twice with someone in class. I tried two other schools before decided for Houston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and they're not as detail oriented as Art who actually went through the Gracie Academy Instructor Program.

My boyfriend called in for an estimate on joining the gym for training/practice and maybe to…read morecompete. My boyfriend simply asked how much it would cost to join. The instructor Prof Art Alvarado goes on to question why he wants to join and then decides that my boyfriend wouldn't be fit to join the gym. Prof Alvarado never answered my Bf question about the estimates, instead makes it a personal matter on how he is old school and assumes my BF wouldn't like the gym. The conversation was truly unprofessional. For someone asking for basic information Prof Alvarado surely did a good job at rejecting a prospect client. The professionalism is at a low level. If I could give this zero stars, I would.

I have been at this studio for about 4 months and it has been great. I take the No-Gi Jiu Jitsu…read moreclass and everyone has been awesome. Coach Cruz is a great teacher, he really observes each student and focuses on your weaknesses. This is hugely important in Jiu Jitsu as a tiny detail can make all the difference in finishing a move or putting yourself in a bad position. The school just moved to a new location and they did a great job with the studio. This is definitely the nicest and cleanest mma gym I have ever been to. I know they offer a 2 week free trial and have open mats every Saturday, so if you have ever been interested in learning a martial art come by and check it out.

As a TKD mom, I really wanted my son to have a great learning/training experience and he definitely…read moregets it here at Valor. Classes are well-paced to meet the needs of students at every level, and Master Cruz is a genuinely strong (5th dan black belt) and passionate instructor who has worked with some of the best in the sport. He does a great job of teaching techniques in ways that keep his students engaged and attentive. Master Cruz is the real deal, and his staff keep the studio running smoothly every time we come to class. The monthly rate is reasonable, and you get quality training with a focus on safety and innovative teaching. I would highly recommend Valor to anyone who seeks excellent instruction in TKD and/or Jiu-jitsu.
