I walked in and was greeted by Professor. Snow and his wife who were warming up. They paused introduced them selves and gave me the info on everything they do. Came back and got in on their open mat on Wednesday. They have a lot of talent that comes in and a diverse class schedule. Women's open mats happen occasionally and hopefully find a slot in the rotation. The kids classes are taught by Coach Ashley and I have been acting as her assistant when I can get off work early enough. I give this place 4 stars based on the quality of Jiu Jitsu, the 5th star is reflective how Sam and his wife run the dojo. It's always neat and clean and they treat everyone like family. I am the newest member and they go above and beyond, asking me how my move and settling into my new community. If you live in the area or are new you should stop in get a look at the place and see if you can add to the family. Hope to see you on the mat!

Three of my children (Ages 24, 8, and 6), my wife, and I have all trained at GB Southlake, and we have all thoroughly enjoyed it. Moreover, we have learned life changing and potentially life saving skills. Professor Alejandro Siqueira is literally World Class. His record of accomplishments in competitions around the world is staggering. His attention to detail in teaching and individual attention is incredible. If anyone in the martial arts world would have the right to have a superiority complex, it would be Professor Alejandro, but he doesn't. There is no one in the martial arts world that you will find that is more personable, friendly, approachable, and humble than Professor Alejandro. The opportunity to train with him is an unbelievable honor. As for the GB Southlake facilities, they are spotless. The mats are well maintained and in fantastic shape. There is plenty of room for spectators/parents to sit, and the changing areas are more than ample. I have trained in at least five martial arts facilities and with at least five sets of instructors over the last 40+ years. None are better than GB Southlake. Moreover, I have investigated a safe place for my children to learn BJJ in this area, and am satisfied that GB Southlake is the best. The fellow students and parents at GB Southlake are very welcoming, such that no matter the level of your prior training, if any, you will not feel out of place. The programs are designed to allow everyone to learn at their own level. Whether you are looking for competition BJJ, a place for your children to learn, recreation, self defense, or fitness, the people, instructors, facilities, and spirit at Gracie Barra Southlake will make you happy you chose them. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Southlake. Jiu Jitsu for everyone!!

The thought of starting BJJ overweight and with no cardio seemed very intimidating. Picking the right gym was essential. What sets 413 apart is Pedro Rocha. He's a world class fighter with many titles, belts, awards etc. Super impressive dude and worth a google! Once the hubs tried the free intro class- he was hooked! Pedro and the other professors made him feel comfortable. They were all patient, classmates were eager to help and everyone was understanding. The gym is the perfect size. Classes are not too big and not too small so you get plenty of coaching. Treatment at 413 is a testament to Pedro. When you join 413 you join a family. Everyone helps everyone. You can trust that you are not going to get hurt. You can ease into it at your own pace. There is no pressure to compete but if you choose to- you could not ask for a better coach.

I have been in and around martial arts my whole life. I have trained in various styles such as;…read moreShotokan, Judo, Moo Duk Kwon, Tong Soo Do and now Tae Kwon Do. I never really felt at home anywhere until I met the instructors at Hwang Martial Arts. Our family wanted to start but we did not have much money to spend. Their plans were the most reasonable around. I quickly found out that at Hwang Martial Arts it is not just another self defense school; it is a life changing experience! They teach that it is not just about self defense, but that it is about a change in how you live your life and act on a day to day bases. Furthermore, they are an integral part of all their students' lives. It does not matter whether your favorite is Mr. Chris, Mrs. Stacy, Mr. Weeks or Mr. Hall because they all have true interests in their student's lifestyle and health. Over the past 3 years my children have grown and learned that martial arts' training is about oneself, their achievements, both in class and in public school. Because the business is a family owned and operated we have grown to be good friends with the Weeks' and all the other instructors there. I would not trust my family and especially my kids with anyone else. There is no doubt in my mind that joining here has made a huge positive impact on our lives! Scott Stephenson

I had a membership to a gym right next to Hwang Martial Arts and passed by it every day, not certain of whether we could just go in. Finally, we visited them. My boys were very interested and I was unsure. When we sat down and discussed this, I found Hwang Martial Arts to be very affordable. Not only that, but my children had no male role model in their lives at all. Now they have incredible male teachers, who demand respect, but at the same time, give positive motivation, teaching the kids the most important principals of being a solid person. Not only did my kids take advantage of Tae Kwon Do, but I attended the Muay Thai classes for fun and exercise. I had no idea that Mr. Weeks and Mr. Hall would change my perspective completely on physical fitness and how much my mind, body and spirit require physical exercise. My confidence level was very low when we started and I didn't see anything extraordinary about myself. All of that has changed drastically in just a year. Now, when I talk about my life, about fighting techniques and working out, people are very intrigued. My passion and zeal for life have skyrocketed. I went from being another single mom to being an extraordinary, tough woman nicknamed "Killer". I've lost a lot of fear in going places with my children, and gained a lot of confidence in my ability to defend my family in an aggressive situation. In short, just going to these classes has changed my entire life. It opened me up to receive positive things that I believe are coming to me because of my increased confidence level and better perspective. Such a small step, but what a huge difference it has made in the quality of our lives! The Longs Joy, Bethani, Garrett and Jeffri Reilly
