He is very technical and informative. He knows how important it is to build a good foundation to prevent injuries and roll safely. Children do well in his program because it is structured. He has taught my daughter focus & discipline! The school itself is incredibly clean. Restrooms are extremely clean! Very nice mats! Nicely ventilated space! I highly recommend this school for both children and adults interested in jiu jitsu. I can't say enough great things about Professor Inacio and his school. We cannot wait to return.

Dan A. McKinney, TX…read more Jan 6, 2024 I began training with Professor Inacio and his most excellent coaches when I had accumulated 68.5 years of mileage in life. That ain't as big a number as it may sound like. I was surprised that my wife for those decades was supportive of my beginning at such a school. I assumed then that her enthusiasm had something to do with a large life insurance policy on me that was in effect at that time, 2.5 years ago. The policy is lapsed, and she is still supportive, so maybe not. I am not a fast learner in this domain, but I am a learner. Sometimes I can even coach a move or two with my workout partners. Usually, I'm the hapless nail, rarely the hammer. This is not a bad thing. It is necessary. The people who show up and continue to show up to train seem to me to define a psychographic group that is a group that you benefit by being close to. Do hard things and keep doing them. Then do them some more. Then do them some more. Special people congregate here. Right here. Things change while practicing this discipline. For me, positively but slowly. For normal people, positively but much more quickly. This is the place to train and to get as effective as situations may require you to be later.

After some issues with another martial arts school in the area, it was time to take a look to see…read morewhat would be the best situation for our son. We tried a couple of the schools, but Warrior was the most accomodating and really tried to help him over what had happened previously and to make him feel a part of the Warrior family. I've found that they have the best balance between "stand up" training and "on the ground" work, done in a safe, controlled environment, with great instructors who really work with the kids to create a positive environment. The training includes an emphasis on respect, not only for the instructors at the academy, but for parents, school teachers and their peers, helping them to become "bully proof" without becoming bullies themselves. Additionally, parents can train for free, in classes set up for them. My wife participates in the stand up and grappling classes. You'd be hard pressed to find a place with a better set of instructors (the new McKinney instructor is a BJJ master from Brazil).

So when you go out to eat, you have choices. Do you want fast food or fine dining?…read more That same choice of quality and value occurs when choosing a martial arts school. Hey... you can get some fast food styled martial arts, have someone rush you or your kids through the motions and throw different colored belts at you to make you feel like something is happening. OOOORRRRRRR You can go to a high quality school that actually teaches multiple disciplines and builds a skill that can be used for a lifetime. Neither choice is wrong depending on your goals. For our kids, we wanted them to really learn something. We wanted them to earn their increases in rank. We wanted them to learn traditional fighting as well as ground fighting. We wanted superior quality in the instructors. We wanted a nurturing environment (not a bunch of Cobra Kai "sweep the leg" maniacs). Samurai Inti specializes in HIGH QUALITY instruction. Kids and adults alike will learn from these amazing instructors. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I'm not an athlete or super active person, but, after the pandemic and working from home for the…read morepast 2 years I started searching for different options to get in shape and start being more active. I talked with Mr. Sabastian on the phone and scheduled a face-to-face free 30 minutes orientation. I explained my goals and why I chose Muay Thai/ Kick Boxing. Mr. Sebastian recommended I try a class and decide. he said I can attend as many classes as I want, free of charge, and then decide if I want to join or not. I knew then that Samurai International cares about teaching martial arts and they care about the students and not just making money. I tried the Muay Thai class, I loved it, and signed up the following week. About the classes, we have three Muay Thai classes a week. each class has a different instructor. we learn different things in each class but after a few classes, you start feeling how everything complements each other and end up being this nice flow. We do stretches, warms ups, shadow boxing, bag work, pad work, sparring drills, and advance student spar. Every class is different, fun, and challenging. The instructors respect and care about every single student and students respect and care about each other. It's a great supportive learning environment. So, if you are interested in learning martial arts to lose weight, get in shape, or want to compete. This is the place for you, all levels are welcome, and I highly recommend you give it a shot.

What we love about this institute 1. Small family run institution, with 1:1 attention given to each child . A lot of other institutions are too big and commercial . Mr and miss Vasquez are very invested and approachable - I am able to discuss my child's progress and understand his growth areas at all points 2. A safe environment I can trust my kid with - a lot of staff dedicated to safety of kids and ensure all kids feel safe and respected 3. Nurturing a community , focus on life skills - they focus on teaching kids valuable life skills.
