Just before I joined Marra I went to a popular BJJ place with a few locations and did not like their sales tactic. I trained there for a month and they told me to have my son try classes and the locked me in contract. When my son didn't like it they made me pay the rest of the contract The instruction is WAYYYYY better at Marra. Professor Ray and Professor Marra are SUPER patient with my white belt skills and is very observant with everyone in the class. The best part about the school is the students that attend. Everyone is VERY respectful and accepting of new students which is super important. The guys and gals become a little family which is amazing in a gym. STOP READING THIS AND JOIN US

One of the biggest issues I had with Billy Clark was the overall sense of unprofessionalism…read more Whether it was the way staff interacted with members or how concerns were handled, the environment often felt dismissive and inconsistent. It gave me the impression that member well‑being wasn't a priority, which really undermined my confidence in the place. Between the poorly maintained equipment, the lack of cleanliness, and the general indifference from staff, the gym didn't feel like it was run with the level of care or integrity I expect from a fitness facility. For the price, I hoped for a space that felt more respectful, organized, and member‑focused. Further their staff is openly racist speaking down on black people and Spanish speaking americans. I ultimately left feeling disappointed and unconvinced that the gym operates with the professionalism or standards that customers deserve

She was super nice and friendly, explained everything and got a practice gi for my son. The other owner came and met us as well and took my son into the practice area to meet the coaches. They all were very kind and friendly. He had no problems at all. I was worried he would be too young and wouldn't be able to understand. After the class I met with coach Chris and he reassured me he did well and it would be good for him. I met with Juliana again to go over the breakdown and fees and how things work. They have a great promo right now til June 22nd. After leaving I knew we picked the right gym for my son. Everyone was friendly and they were all great with kids. Definitely recommend

PARENTS BEWARE: KEEP ANY YOUNG CHILDREN AWAY…read more Long story short: We walked in with our 3 year old and walked out 10 minutes later very upset, confused, and concerned for my child's head injury. Needless to say we never returned. Parent's I would suggest some place else and if you decide to still bring your kids in please be careful and speak up if you think something doesn't look right BEFORE your child gets unnecessarily hurt. Here's what happened. Backstory: Our 3 year old started PreK and in his class at his new school there were 3 yr olds, 4 yr olds and 5 yr olds who had just turned 5. In addition to the big age gap our son is very small for his age. He said he loved the school and teacher but was coming home with different complaints everyday. Someone pushed me to the floor, someone slapped me, someone spit on me, etc... We thought martial arts might help him. The incident: We drive past Brazilian Top Team Northeast every day since we live just minutes away. We walked in and there was a class that seemed to be beginning soon. There was a room for parents to the left that had a giant window and seats to see the training area. The man in the picture greeted us and seemed nice enough. He told us we could stay and watch and at that moment our 3 yr old said "I want to try" and we asked him if he could go out there with the younger kids. The youngest looked about 4 or 5. The man laughed a little said yes and offered to lend a uniform. We were all very excited and expected a very basic first day. Maybe some hand over hand teaching, maybe some exercises or even verbal strategies, ("No stop I don't like that") Within a few seconds he has the students get into about 5 lines of 4 or 5 kids. The first person in each line walked all the way across to the other side of the room and faced the line. The next student in line was then instructed to run full speed, wrap arms around the standing student and "take them down". Our 3 year was the last in line. He ran across the room and looked like he was trying to move a statue because the little girl didn't budge at all. The instructor stopped them and told our kiddo to stand in her spot. This is where I became concerned. I thought surely he would be there to walk and talk them through it as his daughter ran up next. But instead he stood back smirked and let his very well trained, bigger daughter wrap her arms around our 3 year old, lift him up, and slam the back of his head to the ground! To make matters worse no one seemed to rush over somehow I was the first one by our child's side picking him up off the ground. I removed the uniform and walked out. I couldn't understand why this instructor would do that and how that experience could ever help our 3 year old become better and more confident. It became clear it was to make his daughter better and more confident. This was no way her fault but I would advise any new parents who have children under 5 years old to just be careful with her because this was about a year ago so she may be close to 5 years old now. But more importantly parents of all ages be careful with this instructor. Just speak up if things are moving too fast on the first day or any day after. There are always other places so I would suggest just try them all out and see what fits your child best.

CKO delivered all of that and more. With top-tier equipment and excellent instruction, Coach Chris challenges the kids to stay focused and continuously improve their technique. At the same time, he keeps every class positive, energetic, and fun. He also takes the time to share funny moments with parents, creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels connected. Because of this supportive atmosphere, my children pushed themselves further than they ever had before. They became stronger, learned proper kicking and punching techniques, improved their conditioning, built confidence, and made great friends along the way. If you're looking for a program that helps children grow both physically and personally, I highly recommend CKO Kickboxing San Antonio. The coaches genuinely care about every child and are committed to helping them succeed. We'll definitely be back, and I may even join the adult kickboxing program myself. The workouts are fun, the music is great, and the instruction helps you develop real technique while working toward your fitness goals. Thank you, CKO Kickboxing San Antonio family, for everything you've done for us!
