I found Diamondback JJ and Professor Matt welcomed me in his 12pm Class. Professor Matt was an amazing coach! He is truly passionate about his craft. He is a great teacher who is thorough, detailed with his instructions, and patient. Everyone adjusted their skills to me and I felt so welcomed in the class. The facility was very clean as well. I saw Professor Matt staying later in class to help other white belts that had question's. If you're looking for a drop in place to train or signing up, this would be a great place to go!

I researched every jiu jitsu school in the North Dallas area for months and even took a few intro classes. However, something always felt a bit off; and so I never committed to any particular school. Knowing what to look for, I did not want to settle on just any school. Then I learned that GB Frisco was going to open near me. I met with the owners Peter and Rose Bianchi and instantly felt like I finally found the right place. First and foremost, this school has a great atmosphere. From the professors down to the coaches; everyone is friendly, humble, and always happy to help anyone regardless of skill level. The gym is state of the art and very clean. They come from a strong lineage, therefore, the curriculum is tried and proven to be effective for both self defense and sports competition. They have an exceptional kids/adult program and there are classes to fit anyone's schedule throughout the day. But the best part... it feels like a second home. So, yeah, I definitely recommend GB Frisco!

Campuzano Martial Arts is absolutely the best in every way. I grew up with martial arts, and…read morecontinued throughout my 26 years in the Marines. I have multiple black belts, so have a pretty decent eye for what techniques and training might work in real-world situations. When we moved to Texas this past summer, I visited six martial arts schools in the area that I pre-screened before arriving. Within five minutes of walking in the door of Campuzano Martial Arts, I knew it would be perfect for my three young kids. I immediately surrendered my credit card and begged them to charge it. Here is my reasoning: First, Will and his wife Adi are two of the kindest people you could ever meet. They don't run the gym like a business, they run it like they are training family. They love what they do and are passionate about the development of each student. Second, they train kids for situations they would run into in the real-world, from a very young age all the way into adulthood. This includes kickboxing and wrestling. What your kids learn now will stick with them via muscle memory throughout their lives. Third, Will and Bailey are professional fighters and train kids to have that mentality. They are kind and patient, yet are able to push kids past their perceived limits. Will and Bailey are the best I've seen at developing kids to be their best, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Personal beliefs and experiences played a role in why we chose Campuzano Martial Arts: From a broad perspective, I always rule out taekwondo and karate type schools. They train in traditional ways of fighting, which are minimally practical in the world today... unless someone wants a role in a Chuck Norris movie. Also, they make money charging for each of numerous belt promotion tests (mostly just a show for the parents), which adds up significantly over time. Jiu-jitsu schools just award the next belt when the kids are ready. Anyone mildly proficient in mixed martial arts (jiu-jitsu, wrestling, boxing, and street fighting techniques) would wipe out a black belt in taekwondo or karate with minimal effort. If you truly care about bully-proofing your kids for a lifetime, Campuzano Martial Arts is the right school. When we lived in California, to learn all these different fighting techniques (jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and wrestling primarily), my kids would have had to go to three different training studios, and most don't train kids. Campuzuno Martial Arts is the only school I know of that trains in all three, for kids, and does it exceptionally well. Why we strongly prefer No-Gi vs Gi jiu-jitsu training (Campuzano trains No-Gi): Gi: Kimono type uniform (Heavy cotton jacket and pants) No-Gi: Shirt and shorts Most big Brazilian jiu-jitsu schools train in Gi exclusively. I believe this is practical for tournament fighting, but impractical in the real-world. The opponents Gi can be used for grips and chokes in tournaments. Since bullies and bad guys outside of tournaments don't wear Gi's on the streets, probably best to train without them. Adding to the Gi vs No-Gi opinion, my three sons have fought in jiu-jitsu tournaments about every six weeks over this past year. So they can have additional fights (experience) in these tournaments, I always sign them up in both the Gi and No-Gi divisions. I bought generic Gi's off the internet, since we don't train that way at Campuzano Martial Arts. Regardless, my sons almost always beat the Gi only kids, and often in a very big way. The kids they beat come mostly from the large 'brand-name' jiu-jitsu schools and franchises who only send their best. Those kids often leave disappointed. Campuzano training and tough mindset makes all the difference. Will and Bailey are always there to support kids in the tournaments. They go out of their way to support their fighters. One recent example: I signed my kids up to fight in a tournament in Tulsa, Oklahoma, about a five-hour drive north, not expecting to have any professional coaching support. However, without hesitation, Will cleared his schedule just to make sure he was there. He will always go out of his way to support the families at his school. Will has a big, soft teddy bear heart underneath his tough exterior. For these reasons, I am so grateful we found Campuzano Martial Arts. It is everything I want my kids to learn, and all in one location. Training from professional fighters in all aspects of self defense, in a loving way. What my three little guys are learning now will serve them for a lifetime... self-confidence, self-control, physical and mental toughness, and emotional calm when life gets challenging. My kids love coming to Campuzano Martial Arts. I have no doubt your kids will love it too!

My daughter used to take Jujitsu and husband Aikido so they were very excited to be on the mat again. Will definitely consider having my family go there for self defense.

I stepped into this gym and found exactly what I was looking for. Coach Matt is a black belt instructor that really knows his stuff. I am already good at my striking game but my ground game is laughable. He's been coaching me for a few months now and I have seen major improvements. I'm not trying to be an MMA fighter or anything. But sometimes I feel the need to defend myself and I need to be ready against anybody. My glaring weakness would be against somebody on the ground. So I could say now that I am comfortable with any fighting style. Anyways, I would suggest this gym to anybody who wants to learn some self defense or just want a great workout. It's also good for people that are serious about fighting as well. I've heard there are kids classes as well. All in all, this place is a great find and you should definitely be taking classes here.

I…read morehad a blast at the 2 sessions I attended - Tuesday at 11 am (New Year's day) and Saturday at 10 am. The Workout: On my first day there, Josh (one of the owners) led the class. Upon meeting him, he was very personable and welcoming. He explained how everything worked and how to punch the bag. It was nice having him check in with me during the class since sometimes I did not hear his instruction and needed that one on one attention. The owners made me feel very welcomed from the moment I stepped foot into the gym. On my second day, Tyler (the other owner) led the session. Both instructors/owners did an equally good job of encouraging everyone to participate and not making anyone feel ostracized for going at a slower pace than the rest of the group. The Venue: The gym is small but it holds a lot of people. It is also very clean and has a reasonable amount of parking available outside. The Cost: The membership at this time is very reasonable. Right now it is $14/week with the special they are running. If you refer people and they join, you get an even larger discount on your membership. To me that's worth it for the awesome workout you get. You also get bands to wrap your hands, gloves, and a water bottle when you join. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a kickboxing class in the Colony. SIDENOTE: If they ever decide to allow those interested to pay per class, I would definitely come every Saturday since I live too far away from the Colony to make it during the week :-(*tear* OR If they ever open up another location nearer to my work or home, I would definitely be interested in joining long term.
