In closing I can say that I had such a good time that I will definitely be back. Keep up the good work and thanks again John.

I was worried about putting him in a program that could train him more skills to hurt others, since he has past anger issues, due to his ADHD. I am blown away on how much this has helped him with all of it. As for the business itself, all the instructors are awesome and very caring. They're the most passionate and patient group of individuals I've ever seen. Steven's special needs teachers at school must of taught them how to deal with kids, because I've seen them deal with it all of it and never lose their cool. One thing I love the most is how much they teach respect to the kids. More skilled kids are always drilled to help and take it easier on the less skilled people and it shows, no matter what age group I watched practice. I played many sports throughout my life and I wish I knew about Jiu-jitsu when I was younger. Thanks to all of the instructors for all they do, y'all are awesome.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an exceptional martial art: it takes the quiet, shy person and turns them…read moreinto a dangerous beast, capable on controlling emotion in times of high stress and defending against stronger, larger opponents. Unlike traditional striking martial arts, there is practically no punching and kicking, which keeps accidental injuries to a minimum, while the close physical contact and sparring help strength and conditioning. At Oranday Brothers Jiu Jitsu, the atmosphere is very welcoming. Typical schools at the start of the UFC and MMA craze were very aggressive, giving belts and promotion to the ones that would literally crush their opponents. Understandably, attendance would often be sparse, injuries high, and the eventual collapse of start-up schools. In today's environment at OBBJJ, the school is structured to build technique over brute force, allowing drill time at first before the students ever get to their first live sparring session. I've been attending classes at OBBJJ since 2016 and have never been in better shape. As a 40-year old slightly overweight man with arthritis in my shoulder, I have less daily pain than when I was in cardio kickboxing or heavy weightlifting, even though the classes and rolling leave my gi completely drenched in sweat. Stop on by, they offer a week free. It's great for kids and adults. The classes are also separated by age group so there is no intimidation. I took the plunge when I was 38, I wish I had started sooner. There's a saying about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: There are 2 best times to start Jiu Jitsu: When you're 6 years old, and today. See you on the mats.

We are taught through the gentle art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that self defense is second nature. With hard work and dedication our students become champions on and off the mats.

We got a debrief about why the Mayfield Manor was haunted (don't worry, I won't give it away) then were led into the scenario. It was very personal and do admit I jumped a few times. What made it a 5-star experience was that it was literally only my girlfriend and I on the ~15min or so walk through the haunted manor so the mad doctor made it really personal as he confronted us through different rooms in the manor. I would assume there are usually larger groups that go through so it wouldn't usually feel so private. I honestly felt like it was my own personal play that I got to experience without anyone else in the audience really up close. Definitely an experience to remember and one I would recommend to anyone going to Galveston for a short and unique thing to do for a great price.

It was predicted to be a 40-80% chance of rain ...BUTT, not today Satan...the weather was perfect...hardly any clouds, 75 out and a decent wind...Capt Clement was patient, friendly and informative. I was the captain for about an hour...then I asked my friend to take over...she hesitantly did! We were on a 30 foot sailboat called, "the lift off!" It had plenty of space to sit. While on the water we met several other sailors/captains that Clement knew and we got to talk to from afloat. This outing cost $50 each and we were sailing in Offatt's bayou for 2 hours (maximum is 3 hours but, we all had to pee, so we lost an hour...old bitty's!!! LOL!) All in all, it was a FANTASTIC experience ...very zen. Get this...one friend aboard hadn't been on (any) kind of boat in 38 years (she had been involved in a near fatal boat crash at 14) and today, was the day she conquered that fear of water-crafts.
