I came in from TX on work looking for a legit BJJ school and was welcomed with open arms. I was…read moreimmediately welcomed when I arrived and everyone had a smile on their face. John Gutta (head instructor & black belt) is an awesome guy who lives the BJJ life style. What to expect: Amazing class structure, critical details, effective techniques, great culture, plenty of partners to roll with (male and female), clean mats, bathrooms and changing room. If you're in the area and looking to learn at a legit academy I'd highly recommend Tipping Point BJJ. For reference: I'm currently a purple belt under Jeff Massina at Revolution Dojo Katy, TX.

I was in Cedar Rapids for a training seminar and had the pleasure of being able to squeeze in a…read moretraining session at Tipping Point. I have nothing but positive things to say about this academy. The students were all welcoming and friendly and the instructor (John) did an excellent job breaking down technique and also explaining why the technique should be used. What I thought was really cool was that the class instruction was based around some things John had noticed from other competitors at a recent competition. He broke down what he was seeing and taught solutions to techniques that were being used. The skill level of the various belts was on par if not higher than many of the academies I have trained at along the west coast. There is a misconception that 'not a lot of jiujitsu gets in and out of middle America' and I can reassure that this is clearly not the case at Tipping Point. These guys are tough! I had a lot of fun training here and will absolutely visit again the next time I'm in town.

My oldest is, well husband is 51, child is 14, 12 & 8. They have learned so much. Mr. Evans is AMAZING. My husband works split shifts so he is willing to give them lessens outside of class time to make sure they are all caught up. He has paying scales and fun activities outside of class for the families. I looked for years for a TaeKwondo place and finally found this one and am so happy we did

Mr. Evans does a great job with young beginners. It is when the kids become older (teens) and…read moretehir skills become advanced (blackblet and above) that he struggles to teach them. I would recommend Evans ATA if you are looking for a fun activity for your younger child to participate in. However, if you are looking to make martial arts a long term endeavor or have a teen interetsted in learning, look elsewhere.

I researched several martial arts facilities in the area and when I happened to come across Brown's…read moreSchool of Martial Arts, I knew immediately this was the place to bring my 14 year old son. My son had never done any sort of martial arts before and was very nervous. I also had no idea about martial arts except for what I saw in movies and television. Ben is extremely knowledgeable and he immediately made me and my son feel comfortable and relaxed. To ensure this was meant for him, Ben let my son try the class for 2 weeks free. There wasn't a doubt in my mind after the 2 week trial that my son would continue to attend his school. My son can't wait to go to class and Ben is always patient with him. I would highly recommend giving Brown's School of Martial Arts a try if you are looking to take martial arts for yourself or for your child.

They can tailor a workout both to an individual's goals and to any special needs (I'm in my mid-40s and have a few minor injuries). The members are a diverse group, covering performance-minded college students through an older group focused on more basic mobility. I find value and challenge in the interactions with members of such varied backgrounds, abilities, and goals. Five stars because: Ethon has kept me motivated and progressing in my fitness goals for years without me getting bored!
