Self-confidence, physical fitness, patience, discipline, respect for others, self-defense,…read moreemotional stability... your kid will get all of this and more. Girls excel at this sport and actually out-perform boys until they are at least 10 years old. Start them at 6, and maybe add some muy thai or boxing etc at 9 or 10 too. Do not try to coach. Do not offer advice. Support without opinions, and maybe try it out yourself. Sit back and watch the magic happen... it will. Don't care if it actually helps in a self defense situation? Want your kid to be a pretend martial arts master? Become a "black belt" after 5 or 6 years? If that is the goal, you can get your kid into karate or tae kwon do or kung fu or whatever... Just make sure they don't try to use it in a fight with someone who can actually fight. And do not expect them to get the same lessons in humility and respect that they will learn first hand in bjj. Ravlin has it all.

Brazil-021 is the best place to study and train BJJ in Houston. From Professor Marcos to the newest…read morewhite, everyone is respectful of each other. All students train hard with the mindset of improving not only their own abilities, but those of their partner, all the while being safe. It's a unique experience that after an hour of intense training, most students stay after class to talk and get to know each other on a personal level. Professor Marcos's attention to detail of each technique and teaching style makes it easy to see improvement from day to day. There is absolutely no other place I'd rather train than with Professor Marcos at Brazil-021.

I look forward to training here for years to come. Plus, all the instructors are so welcoming of everyone. Age, gender, body types, experience, fitness level -- it doesn't matter. The trainers are willing to work with anyone willing to push themselves at Krav Maga. This is definitely the best fitness choice I've ever made.

Honestly it was supposed to be my first visit today.... And to be honest was excited to add to my…read morecurrent routine. The reception lady was super nice and gave good info but the gym itself just sucks to be honest. I scheduled my first class today at 5:30 am. In my head, class should start at 5:30 am. Issue number one was when I booked it I was told I would get a confirmation text about my visit. Nothing! I checked my email. Nothing! So I still show up. She said be there 5-10 mins early I get that at 5:22 am. The whole gym is closed and no one there. I wait a bit because I used to work at a gym and I know sometimes people can be late. Guess what?! A white car pulls up. I'm like cool another student. Nope! Some white man who looked like he just got out of bed and gets out of his car. Does he greet me? Does he say he give me a moment let me get the gym set up? Nope! Just looks pissed off he's up super early and looks miserable and looks like he just rolled out of bed. Honestly I waited another 4-5 mins seeing if he would kind of get out of hiding. Nope just never saw him again. Saw the gym lights on. Didn't even see him unlock the door. Went missing for quite sometime. So I just left. This was supposed to be my first class visit and it completely was not what I was expecting. I'm pretty active already. Today I was going to rest more after slowly getting over something I caught from Labor Day weekend and was excited to try something to as a workout. But this place really is a disappointment.

Looking to end the fight before it begins? Looking for self development in all areas of your life?…read more Then Moy Tung Ving Tsun is for you! Since I've began my Journey, everyday, no matter how bad or good my day is going, is always improved by attending class. I've found balance in every aspect of my life, from Parenthood and Marriage to Work. Small things that could've at one point bothered me in my life have become so small and pointless. Moy Tung Ving Tsun cleared my mind and centered my focus on things that truly matter. Zero athleticism is required for this "show me" OR "I'll show you" style of Martial Arts and in fact there is no need to speak in class at all. All that is needed is attention to detail, time, dedication and a small amount of patience which will eventually dissipate after you realize how precious and priceless this lineage of Martial Arts is. The development that you WILL experience will transform your being in a way you never expected or even thought possible. It is the TRUTH and will prepare you for any of life's many situations. In my humble opinion everyone should give this Martial Art a try.
