I drove from San Antonio to Austin to check out the class, and all I can really say is Tuhon Ray and Guro Tiffany are top notch instructors. Everyone was easy going and fun to work with. Great vibe! I definitely will return for more training in the near future.

I have been training here since 2021. Jeff in my opinion is a world class teacher in Brazilian Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai and multiple disciplines who has 20+ years of experience and has personally helped me in these two disciplines immensely. He teaches techniques and tactics that are both economical and effective. The classes have not only helped me become better at self defense but has also helped me make life long friends who make training a very fun and informative time each time.

Very Nice to learn from Jeff. his attention to detail is something that amazes me. Along with Jeff, the group training jiujitsu and kickboxing is super friendly, fun and focused in making your skill and technique better.
