    Master Kim is very skilled at not only TKD but at working with kids. We are so glad we found this place!

    If you're looking for a quality martial arts dojo, this is not the place. The drama began in…read moreDecember 2024 when the owner, Mark, abruptly fired his senior instructor--someone who had stood by him for over 20 years. When asked why, Mark simply said, "He cost the dojo money." That decision triggered a mass exodus. Nearly all of his black belts quit. The few who stayed did so only because they were on the payroll (spoiler alert!). The fallout didn't stop there. Mark began transforming CCFMA into a full-blown McDojo, with every executive decision focused solely on maximizing profits--even if it meant sacrificing training quality. With the experienced students gone, the level of instruction declined sharply. Combine that with a profits-over-people mindset, and it's clear this dojo is crumbling. To make matters worse, the owner has been displaying increasingly erratic behavior. He now spends more time ranting to parents about former staff than he does actually training students. He's slandered loyal instructors with easily disproven lies and shown a complete lack of professionalism. The final straw came just last week when Mark fired his business manager of seven years without warning. That same evening, he publicly disparaged her in front of a full class. It was a bridge too far. His last remaining instructor walked out, unwilling to continue supporting the deception. And now? As of this writing, when 6:00 pm rolls around, the dojo sits empty. Mark--the so-called Grand Master--doesn't even show up to fulfill his obligations. He's left his students to fend for themselves. DO. NOT. GO. HERE. UNDER. ANY. CIRCUMSTANCES.

    I was under the assumption that martial arts is about focus and discipline, strength and great…read morecharacter, that's not the case at this establishment. The instructors seemed impatient and unwilling to work with struggling members. This place lacks the moral integrity that would expect from materials arts, I would look for another place if you want the WHOLE child to grow and learn from the lessons.

    Great place to train for the entire family. We relocated to south Texas and was looking for sports…read moreto get my kids involved in, while driving around we saw Renzo Gracie Corpus Christi and decided to stop in. We were greeted immediately by Dan and he answered any questions that we had about getting the boys started, rates, schedules, etc. Ursula and Ruben are incredibly great people that truly care about each member of the BJJ family. Being in the military I was only able to attend bi weekly, which Ursula helped with setting us up with the perfect rate I was comfortable with and started right away. Fast forward two and a half years later, my boys and I enjoy every second training with others who only want to help each other get better and reach their goals. There is no pressure to compete at all, if you're just looking to join a great gym to stay in shape, this is the one! An added benefit is learning a life long defensive skill and confidence!

    Awesome place to learn and grow your BJJ skills. Ruben is a great instructor who takes the time to…read morehelp break down each action into smaller more easy to understand pieces. Lots of focus on the fundamentals and technique of BJJ. Great family and teaching environment in the gym.
