My daughter and I started Karate and Kravmaga respectively with Jett 6 months ago, we love it ! Believe me we are both a tough crowd to please when it comes to exercise! His classes are the perfect balance between fun and a complete/intense workout for the mind and body. You are never bored and leave full of positive energy. In addition, as a working mom, I find it great that he plans the classes in a way to accomadate your own session with your child's! read more

I teach JKD here in Austin and we invited Jett Garner to come share his Krav Maga with us at an event we were holding. Jett was very friendly and open and he showed our guys a lot of great things that they could use, especially in regards to weapons defense--an area where I think a lot of martial arts aren't as specialized in, yet is perhaps most important to know from a self-defense perspective. I have a lot of respect for Krav Maga, and Jett Garner's school in Westlake, Texas is considered one of the best around (hence why we invited him out). read more

Started my son in the Goju Ryu karate class almost two years ago and seeing the difference in his abilities from when he first started to now is night and day. Jett is very skilled at what he does and has a great way of helping the kids become their best selves. From teaching them how to defend themselves to also teaching them about respect for others, Ive been very impressed. So impressed that I began doing the adult Krav Maga class and that has gotten me back on track to getting in shape again. It is a great workout and honestly is something I look forward to all week to let off some steam. I highly recommend his classes for kids and adults. It makes it easy to be able to get both of our workouts in right after the other. read more

I practice JKD and our gym had a sparring meet with Jett ' s school. They were very polite and respectful. They were extremely fun to spar with. Every one was ok with respecting their sparring partners capabilites and wants. They were extremely skilled and we're very nice about exchanging techniques and tips. I have a new found respect for Krav Maga as well because of the skill and attitudes that were shown when I met the people of this gym. read more

My children have been practicing with Jett for over 2 years now. Great experience overall: practice, discipline, fun. Jett always has good family and life advice for kiddos too. Summer camps are great and only ones my older teen "accepts" attending. Thanks for all that you do! read more

So, I'm sure anyone could tell you this but it always seems to surprise me how incredibly different my two daughters are from each other. The youngest is a social butterfly that tends to get in trouble for talking entirely too much. Originally she was the reason we signed the girls up for karate. Somebody needed to direct that craziness! Once she started taking classes, the calls from her teachers started dwindling immediately. There was even a point in the beginning where Jett pulled her aside after an unfortunate display of her new found skills at school to let her know the proper use of those skills and the consequences of bad choices regarding them. We found out through Jett's instruction that she's incredibly athletic and eager to be the best in every sport she tries. It was like the clouds opened up and angels started singing... Amazing! My oldest. Man. She started middle school last year and immediately teen angst set in. After the life changing turn around with the little one I thought surely this could do the same for my preteen. Welllll..... It's been a struggle but we went from the end of the world, crying and thinking we were torturing her to catching her practicing forms and kicks while she thinks no ones looking. Don't get me wrong, if you ask her- we take her twice a week to be tarred and feathered in a public arena of her most judgmental peers. But I know better... She's coming around. This school and these classes have opened a new door for my daughters and I would recommend it to everyone who has children. Theyve taken a personal interest in every child that I believe sets them apart from the usual money raking schools. Every belt and praise that these kids get have been earned. Check them out folks, you won't be sorry you did. read more

My kids have been going to Jett's karate classes for two years and we have seen a HUGE change in them. My older daughter at 5 years old was shy and would look down when someone spoke to her. Jett asked me what I wanted him to work on with her and I told him her confidence. Today she is a leader in his class. She is very confident and strong. She looks people in the eye and can make conversation with both adults and children. She has become more coordinated and has excelled in sports like soccer and swimming. She even entered a junior triathlon! My younger one couldn't wait to start as she watched her older sister. She is now loving being part of the class. They even play "karate class" at home where one of them plays "sensei Jett" and barks out orders while the other yells "yes sir!" My husband recently started Krav Maga. He has also enjoyed the camaraderie and the physical fitness he has gained in a few short months. Jett has a true gift in teaching and motivating his students. Even when he is being "stern" he has a twinkle in his eyes. My favorite part of his class is when he lines up the children at the beginning of class and has them each share one good thing that happened to them that day. He not only nurtures their martial arts skills but also their maturity, gratitude, and character. Highly recommend! read more

Jett's Krav Maga workouts are not only challenging and effective, but surprisingly fun! Jett is highly skilled in multiple disciplines of martial arts. He adeptly explains more advanced techniques and always offers alternatives based on skill level or injury. In his classes, Jett seamlessly accommodates students of varying skill and experience levels - from beginners to those with years of martial arts training. Jett is entertaining and charismatic; he keeps things light, but realistic when it comes to potential self-defense scenarios. Jett's Krav classes have attracted a great group of adult students, both men and women. I've never smiled or laughed as much during any other type of intense physical activity. I look forward to class and always feel better - physically and mentally - when I leave. I highly recommend Jett Garner Martial Arts Krav Maga to those looking for a workout they'll keep coming back to. read more

Jett Garner's Krav Maga class is a perfect combination of cardiovascular and self defense. Every class varies. There may be repetition in an earlier learned exercise, but each class is unique in the combination of those exercises. It is NEVER boring. The classes vary in age and gender. I've been in classes that are split 50-50. It's a very enthusiastic, motivated group of people. Jett Garner is an exceptional instructor. Never critical, always positive, very motivating. Take the class. It'll make you more confident, healthier person. Irish Jim read more

Jett Garner exemplifies the word sensei. But he teaches so much more than just martial arts/self-defense. He gives the kids self-worth, respect, friendship, and community. He's committed to giving the kids his all each class period and expects the same from them. He holds the kids to a high standard, and he gets results. Our daughter has been taking his Krav Maga class for more than a year. In that period of time, we've seen her become more confident and driven. We sleep better at night knowing that she'll be able to take care of herself. read more

Both of my oldest children (8 & 6) as well as I train at Jett Garner Martial Arts and enjoy it greatly! We have been to a number of martial arts schools through the years and a few things truly stand out: 1. Jett is both a gifted martial artist as well as an instructor. His class is disciplined and he expects a lot out of the children, but he is both fair, and he injects fun into the class. Both my children love the class and look forward to it. 2. Jett makes his students earn their belts. This isn't a "belt-factory" school, but a very practical one. I was looking for a school that would teach my children to defend themselves and not give them false-confidence. This is the place for that. 3. There is a great sense of "family" at the school. Both in the Krav Maga class as well as the Goju class, the support and encouragement you get is great, and frankly can be very rare. I would recommend both the Goju Ryu Karate class and the Krav Maga class without hesitation. Give it a try - it is definitely worth it for either children or adults! read more

Excellent experience: our son has been practicing Karate with Jett for about 3 years and one our daughters just started. He teaches them about martial arts, discipline and most importantly life. It is obvious that he genuinely cares about the kids. Our kids love him and the class! The Krav Maga class is also great! I have been practicing with him for a year and a half. It's incredibly challenging and fun at the same time. read more

I have been sending my son for over a year. Jett Garner pays attention to each kid and has all types of personalities that he teaches in a class setting. He is consistent in his daily class and changes it up as needed. I feel all of the kids are getting good life skills and learn to be serious and focus. my son began as a yellow belt and has EARNED his current green belt status. he is now able to perform the first traditional form for kids well, and is working on perfecting a bo staff form. Jett rewarded his efforts by buying him his own staff to practice with, the pride involved in that is having a huge effect on the student. I just enrolled my younger son who is capable, but still young, and he is already improved. tomorrow will be his third class and we know we are in the right class. the young boy is behaving and participating. he wants to do well and return. This is top notch learning if you value a traditional background with a real life defense skill. read more

When I finally decided it was time to get back in shape (or at least in better shape), I decided that I would try everything from jogging, joining a gym, cross-fit, etc. While I could clearly see the benefits from those activities, none of them made me want to come back to them. I was initially apprehensive about trying out martial arts but it was something that had always been at the back of my mind, so I decided to give it a try. Jett allows first timers to come and visit the class before joining, so I decided to give his Krav Maga class a try, since there was nothing to lose. Class was tough but Jett and all of the people in class were supportive and helped me to get through the first class. While the class did kick my butt (literally and figuratively), I found myself wanting to go back for one main reason...it was fun. Unlike the other types of workouts that I have done in the past, I actually look forward to class. Months later, I am now in better shape and have increased confidence that I can handle myself if ever put in a compromising position. I highly recommend Jett Garner Martial Arts to any adult that wants to try out martial arts or that wants to take their children to a challenging but rewarding martial arts class. read more

Anyone who has participated in organized athletics know the importance of a good coach. In my opinion, Jett Garner is perhaps one of the very best I've ever worked with. He is 100% positive. Always encouraging. You will never hear criticism. And he has this great ability to watch your efforts, suggest the most minor adjustment, and have it result in dramatic improvement. These classes are tough. They are physically demanding. They are the perfect combination of cardiovascular activity and learning the art of self defense. If you want exceptional instruction in a positive environment surrounded by a fun, motivated group of men and women, Jett Garner's Krav Maga class is for you! read more

Our son has been attending classes with Jett for a year and loves it. Jett is awesome with children of all ages. He sets high standards, instills discipline and teaches the kids both self-respect and respect for others. It has been fun to watch our son gain strength and coordination, and master new moves. Jett is all about building confidence and learning techniques correctly. Class hours are convenient for working parents. read more

My son has participated in Sensi Jett's karate class for a bit over 3 years. He absolutely loves his classes. They have helped my son gain confidence and Sensi Jett's encouragement to do his best has been, to say the least, AWESOME!!!!! After sitting and watching my son in class, I thought I would join Jett's Krav Maga. I new the classes would be challenging but I didn't know they would be so much fun too. Its a great workout. Its a great self defense class. Its a great stress reliever. The people who attend his classes are amazing as well. The classes are definitely hard but when your done and done your best its so empowering. The last class always leaves me wanting to start the next class. Both my son and i have learned so much from Sensi Jett and his students. He is very knowledgeable on a varity of martial arts and wouldn't want to challenge him or his students on a football field or anywhere else. I highly recommend Jett Garner Martial Arts as one of Austin's best. read more
