Went here for a trial class thinking it would be aimed more for young children. Man was I wrong…read moregreat atmosphere, and the coaches are very supportive, and understanding.

I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) here and my 7-year-old does the American Karate/MMA program. They…read morealso offer boxing, kickboxing, and fitness classes, though I don't do those classes. The instructors, facilities and scheduling are excellent. Their prices are exceptionally low, which makes Furia a hidden gem in this area. There's no contract requirement, no sign up fees, and adults aren't forced to buy an over-priced branded uniform (all this is incredibly rare for a martial arts school). The kids uniform is inexpensive. Furia is also exceptional in that they offer flexible plans, depending on your desired usage. You can choose as little as one day per week (lowest cost), or as much as "unlimited" (still comparatively low), or anything in-between. In the past I have varied my monthly plan based on how busy I was going to be. The facilities have a lot of offer. They have plenty of mat space, an MMA-style octagon, a workout space with weights and equipment (a big plus for me), a separate lobby and large viewing gallery for parents, and a refrigerator to keep your drinks cold. All together, it's a great way to try out the studio for a few months at no obligation. Although Furia has other programs, like adult kickboxing and boxing, I only have experience with two programs. Here are my reviews of each: Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): Furia has 7 adult classes per week, spread out Monday through Friday evenings. Classes include both gi (the traditional uniform) and "no gi." They have 4 different BJJ instructors, including a black belt and two brown belts. What I like about this setup is that you get exposed to different teaching styles, and you have the option of choosing which class meets your needs best. If you're interested in MMA, you should definitely check out the no-gi class. The instructor has a strong base in wrestling and MMA coaching, and there's even a pro-fighter who attends that class (don't worry, he goes easy on beginners!). Most classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes. I love that length because I think a 1-hour class is a little too short. Extra bonus: Furia has a partnership with Alliance BJJ in Pearland, which lets you visit that gym if you're ever in the area. Alliance has morning and afternoon classes, so it complements Furia's schedule well. Kid's American Karate / MMA: Jason is the owner and head coach of the Karate/Kickboxing program, and I can tell he put a lot of thought into the kid's curriculum and teaching methodology. Most schools teach the various styles in separate classes. Jason's program stands out for integrating different martial arts into a single program. Kids will learn karate kicks, mixed with boxing-style punching, along with wrestling-style takedowns and Brazilian jiu-jitsu for when they're rolling on the ground. There are a bunch of reasons why I like this format. First, he is developing well rounded martial artists. Second, since the different styles involve different movements, the kids are getting a full body workout in class. Third, since the class "changes gears" when they switch styles, the kids don't get burned out the way they do in other schools. My kid used to take a BJJ-only class at a different gym and I could tell his classmates would start tuning out and getting bored after 20 minutes of similar drills. The gear changes at the Furia program keeps the students mentally engaged and prevents them from getting overwhelmed. Fourth, Jason's program is excellent for anti-bullying and self-defense since it gives the kids experience in all ranges of confrontation (kicking, punching, clinching, and ground). They do a lot of light sparring and I can tell the kids really enjoy that. Most importantly for kids, Jason teaches perseverance, safety, self-control, respect and confidence, and he does it without the excessive formalism and ritual found in a lot of traditional martial arts schools. He has an excellent rapport with children, being both down-to-earth yet strong, and he is able to speak in a way that engages and motivates them. Overall, I highly recommend you try out Furia for yourself and/or your child.

Istvan Burgyan (I apologize if the spelling is wrong) has served humanity for most of his life…read more During and after his service to his country, he has been training adults and youth to defend themselves and their families, always emphasizing respect and self discipline as an integral part of the curriculum. His leadership style is one of involvement and commitment. He will never ask his students to do anything he is not himself willing to do. I trained with Academy of Martial Arts for several years in my 30's. When I began I was soft and stiff, clumsy. I stopped training there because of a scheduling conflict that I just couldn't resolve, but I have never regretted the time I spent there. Sah Bom Nim (Istvan) is a stern instructor, who will not accept a half hearted effort. He will, however, tirelessly assist anyone who shows real effort to learn. He never tolerates disrespect, and shouldn't. If anyone has earned respect in this world, it is him. My older son also trained here. When we started, he had recently been diagnosed with severe ADHD, and I firmly believe that his time at AMA was integral in his success elsewhere in life. He studies engineering now. In summary: if you're looking to learn techniques to beat up random people, go somewhere else. If you want to begin the journey of self discovery and adversity that is martial arts, and really see what you're capable of, AMA might just be the place for you.

I've been apart of AMA for over 10 yrs and I would not be the person I am today without Istvan &…read moreSandra Burgyan. This is not just a place to learn self defense, workout and get into shape, but a place to build yourself up as a person mentally as well as physically. They really focus on making we'll rounded martial artist who have discipline and integrity. Being part of AMA you don't learn new skills and make new friends to workout with you become part of a family. Thank you AMA!
