Campuzano Martial Arts is absolutely the best in every way. I grew up with martial arts, and continued throughout my 26 years in the Marines. I have multiple black belts, so have a pretty decent eye for what techniques and training might work in real-world situations. When we moved to Texas this past summer, I visited six martial arts schools in the area that I pre-screened before arriving. Within five minutes of walking in the door of Campuzano Martial Arts, I knew it would be perfect for my three young kids. I immediately surrendered my credit card and begged them to charge it. Here is my reasoning: First, Will and his wife Adi are two of the kindest people you could ever meet. They don't run the gym like a business, they run it like they are training family. They love what they do and are passionate about the development of each student. Second, they train kids for situations they would run into in the real-world, from a very young age all the way into adulthood. This includes kickboxing and wrestling. What your kids learn now will stick with them via muscle memory throughout their lives. Third, Will and Bailey are professional fighters and train kids to have that mentality. They are kind and patient, yet are able to push kids past their perceived limits. Will and Bailey are the best I've seen at developing kids to be their best, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Personal beliefs and experiences played a role in why we chose Campuzano Martial Arts: From a broad perspective, I always rule out taekwondo and karate type schools. They train in traditional ways of fighting, which are minimally practical in the world today... unless someone wants a role in a Chuck Norris movie. Also, they make money charging for each of numerous belt promotion tests (mostly just a show for the parents), which adds up significantly over time. Jiu-jitsu schools just award the next belt when the kids are ready. Anyone mildly proficient in mixed martial arts (jiu-jitsu, wrestling, boxing, and street fighting techniques) would wipe out a black belt in taekwondo or karate with minimal effort. If you truly care about bully-proofing your kids for a lifetime, Campuzano Martial Arts is the right school. When we lived in California, to learn all these different fighting techniques (jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and wrestling primarily), my kids would have had to go to three different training studios, and most don't train kids. Campuzuno Martial Arts is the only school I know of that trains in all three, for kids, and does it exceptionally well. Why we strongly prefer No-Gi vs Gi jiu-jitsu training (Campuzano trains No-Gi): Gi: Kimono type uniform (Heavy cotton jacket and pants) No-Gi: Shirt and shorts Most big Brazilian jiu-jitsu schools train in Gi exclusively. I believe this is practical for tournament fighting, but impractical in the real-world. The opponents Gi can be used for grips and chokes in tournaments. Since bullies and bad guys outside of tournaments don't wear Gi's on the streets, probably best to train without them. Adding to the Gi vs No-Gi opinion, my three sons have fought in jiu-jitsu tournaments about every six weeks over this past year. So they can have additional fights (experience) in these tournaments, I always sign them up in both the Gi and No-Gi divisions. I bought generic Gi's off the internet, since we don't train that way at Campuzano Martial Arts. Regardless, my sons almost always beat the Gi only kids, and often in a very big way. The kids they beat come mostly from the large 'brand-name' jiu-jitsu schools and franchises who only send their best. Those kids often leave disappointed. Campuzano training and tough mindset makes all the difference. Will and Bailey are always there to support kids in the tournaments. They go out of their way to support their fighters. One recent example: I signed my kids up to fight in a tournament in Tulsa, Oklahoma, about a five-hour drive north, not expecting to have any professional coaching support. However, without hesitation, Will cleared his schedule just to make sure he was there. He will always go out of his way to support the families at his school. Will has a big, soft teddy bear heart underneath his tough exterior. For these reasons, I am so grateful we found Campuzano Martial Arts. It is everything I want my kids to learn, and all in one location. Training from professional fighters in all aspects of self defense, in a loving way. What my three little guys are learning now will serve them for a lifetime... self-confidence, self-control, physical and mental toughness, and emotional calm when life gets challenging. My kids love coming to Campuzano Martial Arts. I have no doubt your kids will love it too! read more

I genuinely enjoy the workout and lessons from the Coaches at Campuzano Martial Arts. The workouts are tough but rewarding. They do a great job at making all levels of experience feel comfortable and a part of the group. Like everyone, they are adjusting to life during this Pandemic and they continued their high standard of cleanliness and sanitization if the gym mats. 10 for 10 would recommend to anyone who wants to get started in martial arts or just simply wants a great functional workout. read more

My son has learned SO much training at Campuzano. His confidence has gone up and he is always happy to go train.

This gym is great and the coach is amazing. I am currently an amateur fighter fighting out of this gym and it wouldn't be possible without the great Coaching from Will Campuzano. Best place for people looking to become fighters and achieve greatness. read more

Campuzano Martial Arts - Winning my first amateur fight by knockout in a minute and 6 seconds - Martial Arts Near Me - Frisco, Texas

We absolutely love Campuzano. We have been coming with our 3 boys for over a year now. The coaches are amazing and so patient with all skill levels. And Adi is a great contact for questions ! We came for a trial class and asked to give us some tome to decide. They were not pushy at all. They gave the time we needed and now we cant imagine not being there. Our boys have grown and are learning so much. read more

I started taking my son here in January, I loved watching him grow into a young man, learning Respect and discipline. In fact I loved it so much I started attending myself ! Will Campuzano is a protege in Martial Arts and an amazing instructor who is patient, but also pushes you out of your comfort zone ! I have currently lost 35 lbs since January and the weight keeps coming off... but I have gained a love for myself, a knowledge of self defense , and a bond with my MMA family! I highly recommend this for your children, and yourself!! read more

My son has been working with Campuzano Martial Arts for maybe two years now, and it has been an unbelievable experience for him. He has gained confidence not only as an athlete, but as a friend and a teacher as well. He loves going to class five times a week, and he gets very disappointed when he has to miss a class. He doesn't want to let Coach Will down. I highly recommend Campuzano Martial Arts for kids, teens and adults. It is well worth the money and the effort! read more

a gem of a gym!! coach will is wonderful with my son. the kids classes have a great pace, and I love that they teach discipline, patience, and respect. I imagine that soon my husband and I will join too, as there is definitely a family vibe, and we've been so impressed with how well it's run, the communication, and the coaches. definitely worth checking out!! read more

Awesome find.....I was looking for my kids for jiu jitsu but found this place and liked it right away. All Coaches are great and Adi I love her because she is my Coach and love her because she knows how to push me in right direction. Definitely gonna recommend this place for kids and for adults read more

Amazing for kids! We did traditional Tae Kwon Do with our oldest son and though he liked it fine it was very slow paced. My boys have enjoyed the hands on and going "live" with grappling that they started on day one. Our 5 yr old who is on the spectrum is doing wonderful and the coaches do an OUTSTANDING job keeping him on task and focused. Our 8 year old is building confidence day by day and is growing mentally and physically strong. Watching has been so fun that I had to join the adult program myself! Love Campuzano!!!! read more

Great to school to learn many disciplines of martial arts not just 1. And taught by a proven lifelong martial artist who competed at the highest level. Both Will and Adi are easy to talk to down to earth and always help any way they can along your training sessions/martial arts Journey! read more

If your looking for a great place to train with Awesome trainers come here. Very professional!!!

My husband, daughter, and I all take classes here. My daughter is four years old and she absolutely loves all of her coaches there. She looks forward to the classes every time. Before joining Campuzano Martial Arts I have never trained before or did any sports. I was very nervous at first since it's out of my comfort zone but everyone there was very welcoming. So I never felt embarrassed. I absolutely love it! They are experienced and knowledgable. They're patient in coaching and training while pushing you to be better and better. read more

...My son LOVES this place. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere - lots of fun for the kids but also teaches valuable physical and social skills. This is probably the first place my son doesn't complain about going to, and he usually is genuinely excited to go. Instructors and management are awesome. Can't say enough good things about the Campuzanos! read more

Very good at what they do and a wonderful class, however, if you have a young child under 5 just know many of the kids in class are older and the class sizes are fairly large. It's a one year commitment so if your young child may not want to go or your personal schedule gets tough you owe $150 just to cancel. It's a great place for serious training but not for little kids finding their interests. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place or the owners. I have two boys, ages 5 & 7. They're both super active and athletic and have always wanted to do mixed martial arts. We tried another place in Frisco before we came here. They hated it. It wasn't challenging or enjoyable for them because of their instructors. When we came to Campuzano, we were greeted by Adi (Coach Will's sweet wife) and felt like we had known her for years! Will is extremely kind and it's honestly inspiring just watching him lead by example. The boys did a free trial class and were immediately hooked! It was wonderful to see how knowledgeable they are and also how gentle Will is with all the children. With an awesome flexible schedule, my kids look forward to going there several times a week. My children loved it so much that I joined myself. It truly is the best thing we've done for ourselves - physically and mentally. My kids are getting stronger, wiser, more disciplined and confident while I've been losing weight, getting stronger and relieving stress. It's a WIN- WIN! Being able to see others (children AND adults) progress so much has been amazing! If self defense, kickboxing, martial arts, sparring, grappling, or a total body workout is what you're looking for - try it out! read more

Campuzano Martial Arts has embraced and welcomed my son with open arms since day 1! I have witnessed dedicated coaches effectively teach the kids classes in a way that is easy to learn and FUN! We are thankful for the one on one coaching to improve technique but above all Coach Will takes the time to teach kindness, caring for your peers and safety in each class. The 12 month journey is an amazing development to watch your child go through. We are excited to be a part of the team! read more
