I started training jui jitsu a while back from the recommendation of a friend and wow, what can I…read moresay? I have never looked back. I was really nervous at first because of the thought of grappling with other people but my friend recommended the Maven Jiu Jitsu Academy because of the Professor James Quan and I am glad he did. Professor James comes from a teaching background that translates extremely well into his teaching style and the atmosphere that he creates at this academy which is really incomparable to anything other academy that I have ever experienced. Over the years, I have had the honor to train at several other academies around the country while traveling, including some of the most popular and well respected academies as well as many of the surrounding academies in the greater Houston area and one thing that I can say without a doubt is that this place is special. They are super friendly and welcoming of new students with no experience and that is what really made me stick to this environment for such as long time. It takes away all the anxiety that you get from starting a combat practice like this and really makes you feel at home. I have been so glad to witness my transformation through training not just in a self defense aspect but also physically, mentally and through the many friendships that I have gained. They also have a great kids program that I enrolled both of my kids in and they absolutely love it. So if you are thinking of getting into jiu jitsu or looking to join a martial art that is gentle yet effective, then look no further than Maven Jiu Jitsu Academy. They offer a flexible schedule, competitive pricing, a great beginner and family friendly atmosphere and best of all, a place that will eventually feel like a second home.

I sat back for a year watching the sell sell sell mentally of the staff, while paying 160 a month. I was ok doing so as long my son seemed to enjoy it. That changed. That disappointing part is how they treat you when you choose to end your contract. It's not easy (like a gym membership). I definitely remember signing up was a breeze! When I came in a 3rd time within and hour to catch the right person, I was no longer met with a smile and hello. Clearly he was informed that a parent was coming in to cancel their membership. This would have been a great opportunity for the staff to show the character that they teach their students. I believe last month was "Honesty". Instead I was met with no eye contact. Lots of standing and waiting and no "sad to see him go" or "we hope to see him return". Nothing but an intimidating "Why?" and a sign here and a walk off. After a year of coming through the door...Too bad. We will not be returning to Cox ATA in Conroe.
