    Contacted Coach Alvarez to do some Drop-in classes this week; I'm visiting from Arizona. Coach…read moreAlvarez was welcoming and the whole team was nothing short of amazing. The class is fun, challenging, and encouraging. I highly recommend this school to those local and traveling through. Alvarez JiuJitsu will be my go-to school when visiting Dallas! Thanks again Coach! Much appreciated

    On the surface of Alvarez BJJ, there are many team trophies, and even more medals from both him and…read morehis daughter on the walls. The facility is nice, you will feel like signing the contract immediately. However, It is overpriced and the school is overrated. After experiencing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in several different places over the world, the coaching isn't worth the price. The social environment is better for kids and teens looking for a supervised activity but does not possess the candor for adults. I've known this school for several years, when the location was in the warehouse across the lot from the facility where it is currently. The quality of attention has declined. Coach Alvarez's daughter, Danielle Alvarez worked with these kids for several years, however some of the parents I speak with express how their child's skill in jiu jitsu isn't growing. I've learned that she is very manipulative with the teenagers, showing favoritism with certain teamates and outcasting other individuals. She deceptively encourages the favorited young and impressionable teammates to be overly aggressive when rolling and sparring with the outcasts. I have noticed that she, along with Coach Danny, is a crucial factor to why the school is cliqueish and has a pack mentality. This is something I noticed more of as she is given more responsibility and freedom as a coach from her father and also as the children she's coached for years are growing up being groomed under her control. They look up to her because she is a world champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and they do not yet have the critical ability of discernment to recognize that this is manipulation and bullying. Instead being investigated and corrected by the head coach, this behavior is downplayed and defended by Coach Danny Alvarez. Coach Danielle Alvarez communicates great in the kids class but is very socially awkward with adults, and is arrogant towards other female teamates that she alienates. The frequent absence of coaching and aloofness from Coach Danny Alvarez has adverse affects on the classroom dynamics. His handling of conflicts are vaguely directed at the class in a shrewd lecture which demonizes any specific unnamed individual without speaking with them directly. This gives the effect of indirect shaming because of the presence the audience, the team. They offer different packages labeled under Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The Bronze package is still very expensive and has numerous limitations. For example, you can only train a number of times a week and you are not welcome to the open mat on Sundays with the Gold members, and you don't have access to certain areas of the facility that are offered to Gold members. Many of his students are loyal due to the fear of judgment and do not realize that they can have more genuine Jiu Jitsu experiences for far less money in the same city with great attentive coaches that are able to connect with their students. Although many students train hard to earn their belts and stripes, Coach Danny Alvarez will purposely choose a time when he is at odds with a student to spontaneously award belt promotions, choosing to skip the students he disagrees with to show his disapproval. He pressures his students to compete in tournaments for the team trophy but is not invested in the individual as a competitor. He is sure to record the promoted student's testimony to keep up appearances of the school. This school has had great talent, but many of the most competitive students are leaving because of the pressure and social environment. There is a distinct lack of connection from both Coach Danny Alvarez and Coach Danielle Alvarez and this has gotten worse with time. This is my personal experience with this school but I'm very sure so many other's share it. It's a nice clean simple family place on the surface with a seemingly caring staff, but is a corrupt cult once you've signed the contract.

    This review is for the MIDLOTHIAN, TX location…read more We purchased the trial deal of 2 classes for $10 for our 8 y.o. and 4 y.o. After the first class, they were both so excited that we decided to purchase classes for a year (6 months is the longest term they had for the 4 y.o.) We have been going for about 2 months now and we LOVE K-Tiger! Our kids have mostly worked with Mr. Andrew and Mr. Colby (sp?). They have the patience of angels and their methods are highly effective. They really make the classes kid-friendly. Our 8 y.o. is very anxious, emotionally heightened, and shy by nature and takes a while to get comfortable in new environments. Last year, she played basketball and she was so anxious that she was in tears during the first four practices. Since starting Taekwondo at K-Tiger, her confidence has grown noticably. She just started soccer and went out there like a different person. She was making friends, having fun, and unafraid to learn new things. Our 4 y.o. is the polar opposite and has so much energy. He's also very young so we know it will take him longer but he's already showing signs of developing discipline. He is working hard and paying attention more and more in class. Thank you K-Tiger team for the positive impact you're having on our children.

We initially liked the instructor but he went into sales rather than teaching. The whole place has gone down hill in the last year. Kids are not paying attention because teachers are "kids" teenagers themselves! My son is also suffering from asthma and is not able to attend classes as often as before. They do not care, because we are under contract. I tried to stop a payment through my bank account and they blocked it. This was 5 days ago during this Coronavirus crisis and i can see they are going tl get their money regardless if students are sick or if parents have lost their jobs!

    On our first consultation we were told our first month would be free on a 12 month contract. As…read moresoon as I left, I reviewed the contract and the math did not add up. Within an hour I presented this to the owner, which stated she did not say this, but my kids and family both witnessed this and it was too late. I went through the BBB of Texas and they never attempted to resolve this matter. I continued to pay and my kids went through the program. I bought equipment through Amazon and they frowned on this because I did not buy their overpriced products. We quit going, and as I did not pay this it affected my credit. Please review and ask questions before you sign up.
