Stopped by the mats with my daughter while we were on vacation, not knowing what to expect. We were…read morepleasantly surprised. The facility is well-lit and exceptionally clean. I had no reservations about stepping onto the mat. The coaches were outstanding. They made us feel welcome and helped us sharpen our skills. Coach Oscar taught my daughter's class and provided excellent instruction. He made sure she understood the techniques being taught and maintained a safe learning environment. Coach Cardo taught the adult class. He asked what I had been working on at my home gym (open guard) and then tailored the class around drilling those concepts. After I attempted an armbar, he gave me some great pointers on nuances I had missed. He even had me grab my phone so I could record him demonstrating the technique for future reference. Overall, it was a great experience. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely train here again.

I have been reluctant to try BJJ but I am so glad that I trained at the Mats. As a former athlete,…read morebut new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I knew that I wanted a coach that would tailor to my needs. I felt respected, challenged (both mentally and physically) and I learned a lot! Many academy's are dark, stinky and ugly... not The Mats! The facilities are absolutely amazing and coach Cardo did a great job of explaining the sport. For me, it made such a difference to train with a BJJ coach who has knowledge of the biomechanics of the body and an amazing teaching style. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a better training environment, wants to train hard and get good!

I was able to take care of my scheduling and payment online prior to getting to the class. Upon arrival I was greeted by Steve and filled out a waiver. Then I got to chit-chat with professor Ryan a bit before class. The class was 2 hours with a warm up, self defense, Jiu jitsu technique and positional sparring. Really great class, as they say "the devil is in the details", professor Ryan had the "invisible Jiu jitsu" tips and concepts to help out the whole class. He was able to help me with my stack passing! As a traveling brown belt, it's always nice to experience other academies. The practitioners at Kama Jiu-Jitsu were tough and technical, but also very welcoming and friendly. I hope to return. Thank you for the hospitality and rolls!

The outside only says "Jiu Jitsu" so unless you come up to the door and read some details, you couldnt possibly see that its Roanoke BJJ. And as a Yelper the biz wasnt even in there so it was more difficult to research. We saw our friends go in from the parking lot so we followed in soon after. There were about 30 kids separated into three groups based by weight and size. There were two coaches, one of which was taking the lead in instruction so he was probably the Professor. We werent acknowledged because the session was underway. Our friend directed us where to stand so that was helpful. And they were off rolling. They were put in positions of all different scenarios with rotating partners. It was clear that this was geared towards competition training. Most of the students were advanced(not necessarily by belt or stripe level), aggressive, and proficiently using moves and submissions. The professor was stern, quick, and efficient with teaching, talking, and getting the students to progress through class. It was the way I wish all BJJ classes are run. This Professor is dedicated and developing exceptional BJJ students around the Dallas Fort Worth area! By the time we left there were kids still sparing and it was 7:30pm. Was told it usually goes till about 8pm!! 2 1/2 hours of competition training!! Just f'n amazing!!

My eldest, a black belt,…read morerediscovered his love for martial arts after a negative experience at another school shortly after we moved to Southlake. It's been awesome watching him learn to take risks, compete and be recognized for his efforts and skill. My twin "tigers" are also having a great time. They're very different boys with very different needs and aptitudes, and the school has been excellent at dealing with them on their own terms. I can also say that my experience at Southlake ATA has been personally transformative. At the age of 53, I've never felt more fit or in command of my body. I'm learning valuable self defense techniques, yes, but I've also greatly improved my functional mobility and physical confidence. More than anything I've made great friends and brought some wonderful people into my life and the lives of my children. The Reeds and their entire staff are models for what instructors should be: tough, knowledgable, demanding, empathetic, dedicated and humane. I cannot recommend this school highly enough for kids OR parents. You're never too old to start.
