I can't say enough about how pleased I am with this school and its leaders. I continue to be increasingly impressed with the youth program here.

The guy was one of the affliction mma wearing gear type of guys. Just really cocky be rude. The owner seemed pretty cool until I told him about how rude and cocky his head trainer Ricky was. He then got all defensive. Needless to say I didn't sign up. The people that trained there seemed pretty nice and down to earth. Mao glad when Ricky shivers got tkoed by Derrick Lewis in legacy. Ricky if you are reading this you are very cocky and you should try being more humble. Every thing I said about Ricky is true but the owner texted out to me. Much respect to him. Not his fault for Ricky's poor behavior. He shouldn't have to suffer the the actions of a jackass. 5 stars now

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.

I bumped into the owner (TKD & BJJ Black Belt instructor) Jimmy Holmes before they opened this new location as I was peering through the windows after getting a coffee next door. I ended up getting a full tour of the facility & the plans for their use of the back building to be a competition/tournament sized mat space with a weight training setup as well. It is a beautiful facility, they're still doing upgrades here & there, but my favorite little fact about it is that the dumbbell rack in the back goes all the way up to 150lbs!! They offer a great selection of youth classes with a mix of high level men & women instructors. The team, THE TEAM!! They have competition medal winners across the board in martial arts & a great team atmosphere! Boys, girls, men, women, tons of competitors & winners, but minimal ego. Personally, I was only living here while I completed an internship for my degree program, but they've been very welcoming & accommodating during my short stay with them. I look forward to visiting in the future & getting some rolls in on a Sunday Open Mat or Warrior Wednesday where we just roll 10 rounds in lieu of a structured BJJ class. All love, I'll be back!
