I started training jui jitsu a while back from the recommendation of a friend and wow, what can I…read moresay? I have never looked back. I was really nervous at first because of the thought of grappling with other people but my friend recommended the Maven Jiu Jitsu Academy because of the Professor James Quan and I am glad he did. Professor James comes from a teaching background that translates extremely well into his teaching style and the atmosphere that he creates at this academy which is really incomparable to anything other academy that I have ever experienced. Over the years, I have had the honor to train at several other academies around the country while traveling, including some of the most popular and well respected academies as well as many of the surrounding academies in the greater Houston area and one thing that I can say without a doubt is that this place is special. They are super friendly and welcoming of new students with no experience and that is what really made me stick to this environment for such as long time. It takes away all the anxiety that you get from starting a combat practice like this and really makes you feel at home. I have been so glad to witness my transformation through training not just in a self defense aspect but also physically, mentally and through the many friendships that I have gained. They also have a great kids program that I enrolled both of my kids in and they absolutely love it. So if you are thinking of getting into jiu jitsu or looking to join a martial art that is gentle yet effective, then look no further than Maven Jiu Jitsu Academy. They offer a flexible schedule, competitive pricing, a great beginner and family friendly atmosphere and best of all, a place that will eventually feel like a second home.

They offer morning, day, and evening classes and offer classes for adults and kids. They're located in a shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. Their interior is clean and well maintained. They have an open mat area, a bag room in the back, and some stationary bikes in the back. They also have lockers, bathrooms, a vending machine for drinks, a water fountain, and bleacher seating if you're observing a class or waiting for your kids. All the instructors have a wealth of knowledge to share. They take the time to walk through techniques while providing scenarios to help you understand how their teachings can be applied to real-life situations. The class environment is always welcoming of ALL levels and the people are really nice. They truly spend the time to get to know everyone and make you feel like you belong. If you're looking for a place to work out, learn to defend yourself, while meeting great people, this is the place for you. I highly recommend anyone who might be interested to stop by and check them out.

This is not a "sport" jiu-jitsu academy.  It is a self-defense Jujūtsu school in the Spring area…read moreowned by Black Belt Calvin Carter and his lovely wife, Marcia.  This school teaches the same Valente Brothers system which is based in North Miami Beach, Florida.  We are fortunate to have 2 Valente Brothers-affiliated self-defense Jujūtsu schools in the Texas area.  The other school is located in the northwest Houston, Copperfield area.  (I have a review for that school as well). In any case, because both schools are affiliated with the Valente Brothers, my husband and I have had the privilege of working with both Black Belt owners and helping at both schools for privates and group classes.  At Katana, we have witnessed Calvin Carter as both an amazing teacher and person.  He is an excellent representative of the incredible 753 code and philosophy taught by the Valente Brothers.  Mr. Carter is regarded highly and respected for his knowledge and passion for Jujūtsu as more than a martial art, but a lifestyle.  HIs school is growing and is both professional and welcoming.  There is a wonderful kids and adult program.   My husband and I, as well as our kids, are truly dedicated to this awesome program and highly recommend that you and/or your kids try it.  You will love it!
