If there are multiple instructors here, ask for Spencer by name. The 4.5 hour class flew by with…read morehis easy-going imparting of knowledge (and wisecrack opinions) of gun laws. He's got all the knowhow of a serviceman along with the affability of a country boy to make class enjoyable. We got a Groupon deal, but it's worth attending at full-price if you're not able to find the deal. Tips: Get there a few minutes before class begins to settle in and find a seat that's close to the open end so you can use the RR or get coffee. Bring a snack to help you through the 6 total hours. Be prepared to travel to Winchester Range in FW for the shooting test. Don't stress about the tests. Practice and pay attention, and you'll be certified before you know it.

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!

First of all I am not Ex Military but I am a retired Police Officer with 27 years service before…read moreretiring. Some officers I am friends with mentioned this store as being very nice but 2 things to know, it's better if you are ex military, and be prepared for higher prices. I live in a neighboring city and thought it was worth the try. I wanted to sell one of my handguns and online info was they paid fair value for used guns? I went in on 9/23 about 1 or 1:15pm and waited at the Gunsmith counter. In about 5 minutes I was waved over to the counter. The first thing I noticed was the employee did not look like ex military so I thought maybe there were other staff in different jobs. I explained why I was there and handed the employee my S&W box my gun was still in, never fired and in the same box and contents from when I bought it. The employee pulled out the Semi Auto .40 caber and took a quick look and told me what my gun was?? He then said there is no demand for these and the best I could do is $50! I was shocked naturally by not only the offer but his less than friendly/or professional his approach was. I smiled and said wow the pawn shop in Lewisville offered me $150 and I thought they were getting to me? He responded we can't sell these on GunBroker because we can't get our money out of them! I told him that I had been on GunBroker that morning to see what they were selling for and there were NONE for sale as used, and there were 2 sellers with new ones at $299 each in other states. He closed out by saying we can't resell those??? Just for the record my gun is a S&W .40 CALIBER SD MODEL 4". It was purchased new for $329 in April and was never used or fired. I purchased a used .45 S&W about 6 weeks later because that is the gun I wanted but new they were very expensive in the metroplex. I paid half what a new one would cost. I was only hoping to get a fair price for the .40 since I had replaced it but I made a mistake of coming to your store! FYI I had two older brothers serv in the military years ago and have a strong respect for the military! I chose to go into Law Enforcement after school instead. I would like to say the facility is beautiful but is more expensive than 3 other DFW gun stores/ranges. At this time I can't say if I would go back to your store due to pricing but mainly due to the employee I dealt with. He was not professional and actually was almost rude! He dealt with me and dismissed me in under 2 minutes and no one was in line behind me. He had NO desire to keep me as a customer for your store! If you are looking for a high class gun store and range this may be your place. Hopefully you are not trying to sell a firearm and you don't get this employee that I got! The really bad part is I made 2 prior trips to TGE before yesterday only to be told the "buyer" was not there? The first time he was at a late lunch and to come back in an hour. The second time he had not arrived yet? My wife was at a doctors appointment in Grapevine and I could not stay around and wait. Now I am sure that the 3rd time is NOT the charm! Good luck to you.

What I like about his teaching style is that he will teach positionally, i.e. he will go over the options from a given position, and then transition into letting students get a feel for what option is "correct." This is perhaps the best way for students to develop a good game and is surprisingly rare to see in a lot of schools. I recommend training at Sloth BJJ for anyone in the area!
