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.

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.

Whether you're new to the sport or maybe you've had a bad experience elsewhere, the coaches here create an atmosphere where everyone is welcomed, supported, and encouraged to improve. I know everyone says that but here it is the culture. The instruction is outstanding, and a special shoutout goes to Coach Joe Murphy, whose knowledge, patience, and dedication to helping students succeed really stand out. My husband and I are continually impressed by his gift of teaching and his patience with each and every person who comes through the doors. There is a genuine sense of community here that can be hard to find. My husband, our 6-year-old, our 4-year-old, and I are all members, and we've had a fantastic experience. We enjoy having access to both gi and no-gi classes, and the flexible class schedule makes it easy to fit classes into our busy family life. If you're considering trying jiu-jitsu, I can't recommend this gym enough. Great coaching, great people, and a great environment for the entire family. Highly recommend! Plus the gym is conveniently located for those in West Pearland and there's plenty of parking both in front of and behind the gym.

My 8-year-old daughter trains at a Renzo Gracie gym in the Austin area, and we signed her up for a…read moreJJWL tournament in Houston, assuming one of her coaches would be attending. Unfortunately, her coach was unable to make it at the last minute. Wanting to ensure she had support, I reached out to several Renzo Gracie academies in the Houston area that were attending the tournament. Only one responded--Professor Joe Murphy, the owner of Renzo Gracie Pearland. Despite having multiple students competing at the same time, Professor Joe assured me he would do his best to coach her or find someone who could. He even shared his number so we could connect at the event. True to his word, he made time to meet with us before her match, offering valuable advice for her first tournament. When it was time for her matches, he rushed over between coaching his own students to be in her corner. Although she didn't win her matches (no fault of his, as I could hear his great coaching), what stood out most was the way he supported her afterward. He provided positive feedback, helped her process the experience, and most importantly, made sure she kept her head up. BJJ tournaments can be intimidating, especially for an 8-year-old, and his presence turned what could have been a discouraging experience into a positive one. Thank you, Professor Joe! If you're considering Renzo Gracie Pearland, don't hesitate--sign up today. If this is how he treats a random kid from another gym, I can only imagine the dedication he gives to his own students!
