Both have a solid game and are fantastic instructors as well. As of this review date, there is one purple belt, several blue belts, and a lot of white belts. The higher belt folks are patient with the white belts and don't try to smash you down...at first, lol. They feel you out and try to give you space to work a bit, then methodically break down your defenses and submit you, hehe. Ion also offers kickboxing, fitness, and children's courses. I think I will be a part of this BJJ family for a very long time and am telling everyone I know to give it a try!

316 is the real deal…read more I have both of my young sons (ages 7 and 5) training here, and I can honestly say--there's not a better Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in the state of Texas. I know that's a bold statement, but it's the truth. The coaches at 3:16 are top-notch BJJ fighters with a wealth of knowledge. But here's what really sets them apart: they know how to teach. I've known a lot of people who are great at something, but they struggle to transfer that skill to others. That's not the case here. The team at 3:16 teaches through critical, rigorous training, all wrapped in genuine love and compassion. I've watched my boys grow--not just in skill, but in character. They're learning high-level jiu-jitsu, competing at a high level, and becoming better young men in the process. Because of that, at 43 years old, I decided to join 3:16 myself. So this part is for the men. Life, family, and business bring a lot of stress. I've turned to different things over the years to cope, but nothing helped quite like this. When you're on the mat, nothing else exists. You step into a mental space where the world's stresses melt away. It's the healthiest escape I've ever found. I highly recommend 3:16 to any man looking for a meaningful, effective way to deal with stress, anxiety, and fatigue. This place has done more for me--mentally, spiritually, and physically--than anything else ever has. I can't recommend 316 enough.

Awesome place to train…read more I was on vacation for a week in Rockwall and contacted 316 BJJ to get some training in. The coaches and students welcomed me into their family with open arms. The techniques taught there are top notch. I was able to hit the moves of the day instantly which is a rarity for me. Will definitely return for training if I am ever in town again.
