I could not be happier with the facility, the instructors, the lessons and the discipline that my son is learning. The teachers are both awesome and patient with all students no matter the size of the class they have for the day. My 6 year old son is in both jiu jitsu and tae kwon do classes; both of which he loves! I think my son will be coming here for many many years. Thanks Strike and Submit for teaching my son self defense, discipline and building his confidence! My daughter will probably start classes once I feel she is old enough. I highly highly recommend this facility for both boys and girls of all ages!

We started working with Coach Arron and Professor Phil about 6 weeks ago and the experience has…read morebeen amazing. I have a 12-year-old daughter who was not very interested in the general sports so I suggested that perhaps she would like martial arts and the first two weeks she wanted to quit, but I told her to wait and give it more time and about the fourth week into it she was absolutely in love with the sport. We just completed our first NAGA tournament with the guidance of Professor Phil, and she loved it. Both Aaron and Phil Are natural teachers when it comes to working with children. They push the children physically, encourage them to give their best, and they don't hand out participation awards. You earn what you get! I highly recommend that if you're looking for a school with dedicated instructors and a dedicated team that you check the school out.

The hustle and bustle of life pulled me away though. 10 years later, I decided to focus back on my physical health and began working on getting in shape... eventually this led me back to Grapplers Lair. I am so thankful for this gym. This gym brings top notch instruction and a great family atmosphere for any and all who visit. My kids have started taking classes too and they LOVE it! The instruction is top notch, the people are very friendly, and needless to say, it's been great for getting in shape. Highly, highly, highly recommend Grapplers Lair for anyone interested in getting into martial arts for themselves or for their kids. It's really a great place to train.

Luke was our personal trainer for 6 months before he moved to Temple (from Houston). Prior to…read moreworking with Luke, neither my fiancée nor I worked out regularly. His approach was to build up our strength and movements gradually to make sure our bodies could adjust. He was very cautious about not causing injury and took the time to explain the background and science behind muscle movements, strength training, importance of stretching and other components. Our workout schedule was 3 times a week and we both noticed marked improvements in our strength and muscle tone. We initially started with light weights, but improved to the point where we were using 20/25lbs weights with no problem on certain exercises. In addition to the improvements and progression we noticed in our training, we absolutely loved working with Luke. He is very genuine and truly cares about helping his clients. He was a bright spot in our lives three times a week.

My children (and I) have grown in self-discipline, awareness of ourselves and our surroundings, and respect in general. We have built up our bodies and minds by training there.

I want to give a review as a student from both the past and the present at this establishment. My…read moreexperience with Master Martial Arts and Master Sam Um has been nothing short of incredible. I originally started practicing Taekwondo here when I was much younger, early through late middle school. I was always engaged in every aspect of the class: Master Um makes an unbelievable effort to ensure every student of his is properly trained and gets individual attention throughout the class time to heighten their skills. When I reached highschool, I stopped after achieving a red belt due to my schedule not fitting, but had always wanted to go back and continue training because the classes were so fun and useful. Now, at age 21 and a full time student in college, I have returned to train in TaekwonYusul. From my understanding, "Taekwon" means "striking" and "Yusul" means grappling. Master Um has created a new hybrid of the traditional martial arts (Taekwondo, Gonkwon Yusul, Brazillian Ju Jitsu, Judo) labeled TaekwonYusul to emphasize it's heightened practicality over other single-focus arts. This is hands-down one of the most effective and useful martial arts I've discovered through my years of experience, and incorporates techniques from other martial arts that just WORK. I would say that TaekwonYusul is more of a taditional style mixed martial art, which gives it an advantage over most other options. The classes are structured, we spar with padding and safety equipment every class, and you will 100% be accomadated to whatever skill level you start at. With my Taekwondo background helping in the striking areas, I was surprised by how quickly I was finding myself retaining grappling techniques. All of the other students are wonderful and very helpful, often offering to teach you more in depth technique if you seem to be having a hard time grasping any concepts. I was very surprised to learn that TaekwonYusul hasn't been proffessionally recognized as a new martial art, but I have no doubt that in a few years this will be practiced by gyms accross the world. As for Master Um, he is one of the best teachers and coaches I've had throughout my life, always attentive and eager to teach and ready to demonstrate a technique the moment you have a question. His credibility is unbelieveable, having over 40 years of experience with martial arts and winning many competitions for Taekwondo in his youth. He's trained over 5,000 students, and that figure is from when I was a kid. I just want to say that if you read this whole thing, please consider joining. It might be the most exciting and engaging thing you get to look forward to going to after school or work. Thank you Master Um, I look forward to continuing my training. Thanks for reading, Yelp!
