He know the system backwards and forwards, can show how it works, and can explain how it works for you.

Not many Jiu-Jitsu or Judo schools can say they've produced Division 1 college wrestlers..and not…read moreone in the metroplex can claim a 4x UIL 6A High School State Wrestling Champion except Bushido MMA. My son, Isaak Arevalo, is living proof of what happens when real martial arts are taught with discipline, intention, and love. The practical Judo and Jiu-Jitsu taught at Bushido didn't just make him capable of defending himself..it gave him a foundation that carried him through wrestling, life, and now to West Point as a future Black Knight. Bushido doesn't just build fighters..it builds men and women of substance. If you want your child or teen to train at one of the best youth programs in the metroplex (and the state), this is the place. Their youth team doesn't just show up to competitions..they dominate. The instruction is elite. The culture is humble. The results speak for themselves. Bushido is where warriors are made...on the mat and beyond.

Coach Eric's instructions are very broken down and easy to follow. I never felt that he's pressured anyone or made anyone feel incapable. He actually has a very opposite effect and makes you feel like you can learn it all with time and practice. I'm glad my wife found this place. My daughter has improved a lot during her time here. She's just competed in the NAGA novice tournament and brought home first place in no-GI and second in GI. Really proud of her and the coaches for teaching her so well.

I used to live in the Arlington area and attend the kickboxing workouts there regularly, then I moved to Florida. I have not found a gym here that compares to V-FIT here.

His coaching has significantly improved my overall health, lowered my stress levels, and given me valuable skills. I usually attend classes in the evening; however, I am now excited to join his morning sessions starting in April. I appreciate that this striking gym also focuses on Muay Thai and offers classes for beginners and advanced practitioners, including both children and adults. The Muay Thai instructors (Kru Pena and Jennifer) are knowledgeable and highly focused on each student, taking time to ensure proper technique, growth, and confidence. Additionally, the facility has a highly regarded fight team that competes in both amateur and professional Muay Thai events. Knowing the school operates at a high level, it doesn't feel intimidating, and everyone there is friendly, sharing the same goal of achieving better health through a love of striking sports.

I was looking for a way to change my life when I found Authentic Kung Fu. I left a message so I…read morecould ask questions and got an immediate response. I was invited to come to 2 days of classes to decide which style would suit me. The building isn't in the greatest neighborhood and the school was ok. The impressive thing about the school was the quantity and diversity of weapons around the school. Sifu Cottrell, the owner and teacher at the school greeted me warmly. Classes were in session and Sifu took the time to give me a tour. He Started with his lineage, who his teachers were and who his teacher's teachers were. In Sifu's lineage, Ip man had taught his teacher! We sat for a while, while he educated me on Wing Chun and how Bruce Lee was the most famous practitioner. I came the next day to see Praying Mantis style, which even for a lay person was vastly different than Wing Chun. I had never seen anything quite like it, especially after watching so many Kung Fu movies. Sifu and I agreed Mantis would suit me best and it has. The instructors are top of the line. So patient, will explain and demonstrate techniques 100 million ways until you get it. I always felt supported and inspired to learn from the community of students. I never heard anyone speak an ill word or treat anyone poorly. The community of students welcomed me and I felt safe to both succeed and feel failure. Truly, I could go on and on, but there really is no greater place to learn Kung Fu and to embrace your potential.

I cannot say enough positive words about Authentic Kung Fu. My 8 year old son loves to go to his…read moreclasses, as does my husband for the evening (packed) adult class. Sifu Cotrell is the epitome of what I would look for in a martial arts educator. He is patient and soft spoken with the children. However, his expectations of their ability to learn movements with discipline and precision creates excellent students with a solid foundation of praying mantis Kung Fu. I love the fact that this is not just another "belt factory" establishment with a free uniform for joining. It is a fabulous school intended to enlighten and enhance any humans life from 8 to 88..... 5 Stars!!

Arlington MMA is owned by my longtime friend, Franc, and it's been a game-changer! Franc's wealth of experience is evident in every aspect, ensuring a top-notch training environment. Arlington MMA also offers kids classes. The youth classes are high energy and focus on martial arts techniques. The instructors are fantastic at orienting the classes towards a younger crowd and teaching martial arts technique in a really fun environment. It really is the place for younger kids/youth to gain a foundation in martial arts or to expand their skills. Juan, the boxing instructor for both adult and youth classes, is simply awesome. Mary, the Muay Thai instructor for both the adult Muay Thai and youth/kids Muay Thai classes, is highly energetic. Lim is a rockstar!! As for offerings, this gym offers a range of techniques from MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Combat Sambo and more for both adult and kids. From experienced martial arts enthusiasts to beginners looking for a place to learn, grow, and get fit fast, this club is unparalleled. I continue to recommend Arlington MMA/Arlington Fight Club to friends and other martial arts enthusiasts around town. This is THE BEST PLACE to learn to fight.
