I would not recommend this school for the following reasons 1. My first day of joining and coming into the dojo the oriental female student who has been attending this school for 10 years was rude because I did not bow. 2. No cool down after class and they leave the doors open during chilling weather. 4. On my second day of training that same female student was rude to me because I did not do a technique the way she liked it. 3. You are required to sweep dojo and clean it on schedule days. 4. No sparring or realistic applications were you can really learn to defend yourself. So if you are looking for modern self defense I would recommend jiu Jitsu or another aikido school. I do believe aikido does have something to offer for self-defense in 2016 but not in the traditional approach of teaching it as this school does. Also, their are aikido schools who allow you a free week trial and charge less than this school. Also, this school has a high turnover rate. I believe it may have something to do with the instructor's rudeness. He was rude to me during my fourth day in class by saying that maybe this school wasn't for me when I questioned the approach and right after I paid him $190 dollars cash. My advice try another school or watch the classes for a week before deciding to join because you may just not like it.

Top notch instruction and a great training environment. To anyone (skilled or not) looking for a martial arts school I can't suggest this place enough.

Jeff Hammond is an amazing instructor and competitor. He has a world of jiu-jitsu knowledge, and is highly technical.

My son has been a student here for a couple of years. Great individualized training. Great communication between instructor and parents.

I love the kickboxing class for adults! Not only do I get a great 30 minute workout, but I'm learning basic self-defense moves as a bonus. And the staff are all wonderful!

Amazing place. My Son fell in Love

This is the best place I have ever trained. Great place for the competitive fighter or the hobbyist. Great family friendly environment.

So. My boys are Little Champions at Gracie "Bent Bent "5" & Little Woo Woo "3". Playing Scoo Bee Do at the house Little Woo Woo took off running. Bent Bent grabbed the back of his collar and up went Little Woo Woo's feet. OMG!! Bout 3' off the ground. Yes I know. "Boys" BREAK FALL! A technical move learned in BJJ saved my boy's head. If it had not been for the Gracie Barra training we surely would have made a trip to the ER. CAN'T express my thanks enough. P.S. I'm now a 40 year old white belt and I love it.

Krav Maga, in my opinion, is by far the best method of self defense. It takes your natural reaction to a threat and turns it into an attack. Nathan Lundstrom, owner of East Texas Krav Maga, does a superior job of training you so that you can both understand and apply the techniques no matter what your skill level. I encourage anyone to schedule a class with him to try it out. You won't regret it!!!

I do belly dance and burlesque here. The instructors are all super great, supportive, and very body positive. I'm always comfortable there and I LOVE the dance. Plus it's a great way to gain core strength and endurance, along with a great cardio exercise. I cannot recommend this studio more.
