I have been fortunate enough to train at many different gyms around the world. I have had the chance to train with some of the best in the game. I can attest that Ralph Garcia ranks in the category of being amongst the great coaches I have had the opportunity to share the Mat with. His ability to recognize minute details that could change ones game is on point. This is one of those gyms I feel could be one of the elite gyms given the right environment. However, this town is saturated with other competing gyms for the population. Being a Black belt, I tend to be a bit more critical when visiting another gym. If I feel the environment isn't a good fit, I may only visit once. This is absolutely not the case here. I was immediately welcomed as if I was family. This is exactly what I look for when searching out a temporary home away from home. Everyone I've met at this gym has been extremely welcoming. Ralph Garcia brings a wealth of quality knowledge to the mats. His ability to convey easily understandable instructions makes this a valuable school for beginners and advanced students. There isn't an ounce of ego here, as it should be. I highly recommend this place to train. Thank you guys for all of the time you've invested in myself and my coworkers who also train here. OSS!!

They offer training almost everyday for kids and offer one week free to try it out. Most places only offer one day. Joe Lopez Houston

Disclaimer: Instruction and classes were good. That being…read moresaid, I was asked when I joined if I wanted the 3 month or 6 month membership. To my understanding, the membership only lasted that long. I chose the 3 and paid in full. My daughter went only 2 months and then decided it wasn't for her, so she stopped going. I thought we only had a month left of membership so I let it be. Months later, I'm checking my bank account, and notice I have been being charged $157.50 monthly, for the last 6 months. My daughter did not attend any classes since that second month. I called them up and was told, more or less, too bad because I had not verbally told them she was no longer attending. If you use this place, READ THE CONTRACT THOROUGHLY bc they will get a chunk of money from you if you do not let them know verbally, or written that your kid will no longer attend. I did not know I would be charged past that 3 months and thought it only pertained to those 3 months we signed up for, so I am out of $945 with no concern from their side.

At our gym, you will train with the best Jiu Jitsu practitioners Edinburg has to offer in a safe, fun, family friendly atmosphere. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), is a great way to learn about self defense while also developing physical and mental fitness. In other words, it's more than a sport or a form of fighting; it is a vehicle for personal development. We have a new women's only Tuesday/Thursday class from 6-7pm for those who want to change it up! Coach Victor's objective is to share all the great benefits of Jiu Jitsu that have positively affected him with people from all walks of life; from increased athleticism, confidence, and discipline, to pure self-defense. The list of benefits are tr
