What an amazing place…read more Location: nice second floor location in a good part of town. Cleanliness: Very very clean, with a great area for watching students without getting in the way. I liked that there was glass between. The viewing and the mat areas, so I could take a call or talk with others without disturbing the people practicing. Teachers: The coaches were all black belts, with a humble attitude that has been adopted by the other students. Overall: 10/10 and I can't wait till the next lesson. Highly recommend!

I started BJJ in January, so I'm pretty new to all of this. What made my experience so special from…read morethe beginning was Professor Ulpiano. He always had a smile, always greeted me warmly, and from day one, I genuinely felt like I belonged. The tagline is "jiu-jitsu for everyone," and he truly lived that out. Sadly, he has passed, and I wanted to leave something here as a testament to who he was as a professor. His passion and dedication always showed. He once said, "The best professor is a professor that's happy to be there," and you felt that every single time he taught. If you're thinking about trying something new or stepping outside your comfort zone, I really do recommend this place. Professor Ulpiano made it more than a gym. He made it a community.

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.

Thanks to Giselle Giambi for the patience and dedication to share her wealth of experience both in local and national competitions. Even if we have to travel longer, what my son gains from this school is worth it. It is a privilege to be under GM Mark Giambi, who is a well respected name in taekwondo in Houston. Master Kim Giambi, who is the heart of the school, is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

Head instructor was technical and broke things down well . The sense of humor and banter here made me feel very comfortable. The also have Muay Thai.

My daughter has attended this dojang for about two years since she was 6 and we'd still be going…read morehere if we didn't need to move. But move we did... so it's about time I leave a review. It's located on Bellaire next to Pollo Campero in a slightly run down orange retail center. It's hard to miss once you see it. They do have a shared parking lot with a handicap spot right in front of the dojang but parking can be tight during busy times like belt tests or larger classes. They offer a 1-week trial period, which is ideal. In my opinion, trial classes are mandatory before joining a new dojang just to see if it's a good fit but if it's only one class, it's merely a peek. One week - if you can make it to multiple classes - will give you exposure to most of the other students and instructors you will meet and is more accurate. There are several martial arts places in the area, but this one won based on value but also the atmosphere. They offer unlimited classes for the monthly membership cost as long as you attend the classes for your age group (ages 4 and up), they don't pressure you to compete and has a more supportive and relaxed feel so you can go at your own pace. The classes aren't very crowded either so you sometimes get more attention to work on things you need to work on. You have the option to apply for a belt test every 3 months so that's not rushed either, so this place is definitely not a McDojo. They do provide a handbook that outlines all the testing material for each belt so you're not going in blind and they'll focus on testing material leading up to it, helpful for the students that don't attend as many classes. The other students are pretty good sports overall. Females are in the minority and my daughter is small for her age but she never really felt left out by the other boys. Master Derek and the other instructors are knowledgeable and personable. They teach WTF taekwondo here from stances, kicks, blocks, punches, and poomsae to footwork, breaking, kicking combinations, self defense, and sparring (though no weapons so far). They also teach the five tenets of taekwondo. I even joined the adult classes when I had time though very casually (more for exercise) and I didn't feel pressured to go any further (though there's always encouragement). It was fun and Kim's Olympic Taekwondo felt like a second home with how often we were there. Both my daughter and I miss them but there were some pretty great memories. Fun fact: Master Derek has a background in physical therapy so that's a plus while practicing a contact sport... especially once you pass a certain age. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to learn taekwondo, whether or not you're a beginner. Or at least try out a few trial classes to see if you'll love this place as much as we did.

I am a proud student of Kim's School of Tae Kwon Do for nearly 2 yrs. Master Kim is one of the most…read moregenuine and kindest people I have ever met. Her knowledge of Tae Kwon Do goes beyond measure, but her attitude and persistence in her teachings and encouragement is second to none. Although, I consider myself a well-rounded athlete, I have never been pushed both mentally and physically as much as I have here. What I love most about the school is that each instructor has learned under Master Kim and developed his or her own unique way of leading a class. The school not only challenges me physically and mentally, but it is fulfilling in a cultural, social, and therapeutic way. I highly recommend this school to any ages and all levels!
