Whether your goals are related to losing weight, self defense, or you just want to change up your workout routine, the instructors here will be 100% on board with whatever your goal is. Furthermore, there are many active, high level and even world champion competitors that train here, so if you have your eyes set on competing, look no further! Also, they have a great kids program. One great benefit of training at a school w/ a large number of students, such as GBTX, is the variety of training partners you get to train with! I joined in Sept'18 and still love it. I had about 5 months previous bjj training experience at another academy but that was a very long time ago. If you are new to bjj, I hope that you dedicate yourself to learning the art and stick with it!!

Our six year old grandson Steven has been studying Jiu-jitsu here for 9 months now. He has ADHD and…read moreis autistic. I was worried about putting him in a program that could train him more skills to hurt others, since he has past anger issues, due to his ADHD. I am blown away on how much this has helped him with all of it. As for the business itself, all the instructors are awesome and very caring. They're the most passionate and patient group of individuals I've ever seen. Steven's special needs teachers at school must of taught them how to deal with kids, because I've seen them deal with it all of it and never lose their cool. One thing I love the most is how much they teach respect to the kids. More skilled kids are always drilled to help and take it easier on the less skilled people and it shows, no matter what age group I watched practice. I played many sports throughout my life and I wish I knew about Jiu-jitsu when I was younger. Thanks to all of the instructors for all they do, y'all are awesome.

I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) here and my 7-year-old does the American Karate/MMA program. They…read morealso offer boxing, kickboxing, and fitness classes, though I don't do those classes. The instructors, facilities and scheduling are excellent. Their prices are exceptionally low, which makes Furia a hidden gem in this area. There's no contract requirement, no sign up fees, and adults aren't forced to buy an over-priced branded uniform (all this is incredibly rare for a martial arts school). The kids uniform is inexpensive. Furia is also exceptional in that they offer flexible plans, depending on your desired usage. You can choose as little as one day per week (lowest cost), or as much as "unlimited" (still comparatively low), or anything in-between. In the past I have varied my monthly plan based on how busy I was going to be. The facilities have a lot of offer. They have plenty of mat space, an MMA-style octagon, a workout space with weights and equipment (a big plus for me), a separate lobby and large viewing gallery for parents, and a refrigerator to keep your drinks cold. All together, it's a great way to try out the studio for a few months at no obligation. Although Furia has other programs, like adult kickboxing and boxing, I only have experience with two programs. Here are my reviews of each: Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): Furia has 7 adult classes per week, spread out Monday through Friday evenings. Classes include both gi (the traditional uniform) and "no gi." They have 4 different BJJ instructors, including a black belt and two brown belts. What I like about this setup is that you get exposed to different teaching styles, and you have the option of choosing which class meets your needs best. If you're interested in MMA, you should definitely check out the no-gi class. The instructor has a strong base in wrestling and MMA coaching, and there's even a pro-fighter who attends that class (don't worry, he goes easy on beginners!). Most classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes. I love that length because I think a 1-hour class is a little too short. Extra bonus: Furia has a partnership with Alliance BJJ in Pearland, which lets you visit that gym if you're ever in the area. Alliance has morning and afternoon classes, so it complements Furia's schedule well. Kid's American Karate / MMA: Jason is the owner and head coach of the Karate/Kickboxing program, and I can tell he put a lot of thought into the kid's curriculum and teaching methodology. Most schools teach the various styles in separate classes. Jason's program stands out for integrating different martial arts into a single program. Kids will learn karate kicks, mixed with boxing-style punching, along with wrestling-style takedowns and Brazilian jiu-jitsu for when they're rolling on the ground. There are a bunch of reasons why I like this format. First, he is developing well rounded martial artists. Second, since the different styles involve different movements, the kids are getting a full body workout in class. Third, since the class "changes gears" when they switch styles, the kids don't get burned out the way they do in other schools. My kid used to take a BJJ-only class at a different gym and I could tell his classmates would start tuning out and getting bored after 20 minutes of similar drills. The gear changes at the Furia program keeps the students mentally engaged and prevents them from getting overwhelmed. Fourth, Jason's program is excellent for anti-bullying and self-defense since it gives the kids experience in all ranges of confrontation (kicking, punching, clinching, and ground). They do a lot of light sparring and I can tell the kids really enjoy that. Most importantly for kids, Jason teaches perseverance, safety, self-control, respect and confidence, and he does it without the excessive formalism and ritual found in a lot of traditional martial arts schools. He has an excellent rapport with children, being both down-to-earth yet strong, and he is able to speak in a way that engages and motivates them. Overall, I highly recommend you try out Furia for yourself and/or your child.

As a past student of Grappling Zone I can confirm this establishment was... odd. I stayed for 5…read moreyears at first it was fun and enjoyable, but it soon became frustrating and downright uncomfortable. They hired people (mainly males) that made me and multiple other children feel uncomfortable, so I do believe they do not look into who their staff may really be. I was also groomed I'd prefer to not get into details but there was a much much older child who I now realized actually groomed me and my friends and was extremely inappropriate with us. Not to mention later on he was not even allowed in the restroom unsupervised because he had apparently asked multiple extremely young boys if he could suck them off.Now that me and my friends from there look back we realize that we were put in a unsafe environment. Not to mention the owners aren't exactly the best. In summary it was a good place but no longer is. I would not recommend sending your child and putting them through the same hell we went through. When I look back on the memories truth be told I am frustrated that the establishment was let go and that they allow things like what I've stated to happen. I hated that place and will never go back. P.S. You may notice there are many 5 star reviews well one thing to take notice of is that all of the good reviews are from a long time ago because as I states before this place is much different now than it was then.
