Came in for my first 1-hour class with Patrick on a Monday afternoon. The class was filled with…read moremostly children, but adults are welcome too. I was maybe 1 of 5 adults including instructors. I was happy to learn that Patrick was knowledgeable and clear in his instruction. He added some wholesome humor and was also very humble. He was clearly the pro in the room, but didn't make any of us feel inferior to his expertise. I am really happy with my new jiu jitsu self-defense moves I learned. God forbid I ever have to use them! Nonetheless, great to have, especially being a woman. If you're extremely uncomfortable with close physical contact with strangers, bring a friend or family member for partnering, orrrr try golf lol. You do get up close and personal. I wouldn't want my husband partnering with anyone but me. Just sayin'. There are a few benches for any who'd like to watch quietly. Liability waivers are prepared for signing before class. Not sure how Japanese do jiu jiutsu in comparison to Brazil, but I'm diggin' Brazil. Maybe you will too. Enjoy!

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.

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.

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.
