I have no martial arts experience but my 8 year old son has shown a lot of interest in it. The classes for kids have been great for him and he tells me he feels like he is learning fast.
After a year and a half of capoeira, I decided to introduce BJJ into my training regimen. Full disclosure: it was initially a stranger on one of the anonymous Internet forums who truly heard my struggles with capoeira when I expressed them, and this individual strongly encouraged me to try BJJ. So after researching online, I booked a Friday night trial class on Halloween. First, the movements and holds felt very natural to me and so much fun! I’m not by any means a fast learner, but I got a TON out of that hour and a half. The instructor and three of my classmates were super helpful and the pace of class was just right. I can also see how training here will help me develop my core strength to where I want it to be. It will also challenge me to fix the upper body strength imbalance I’ve had for years, and catch my right side all the way up to my left side. Also, afterwards I realized BJJ is great for me because I crave physical touch—but I am not naturally “warm and fuzzy” with my friends and I don’t do romantic relationships or anything close to that. But yeah, the need for touch stubbornly remains. Maybe that’s why straddling and climbing on strangers was surprisingly not at all awkward or uncomfortable for me, even though I’m a woman and there was only one other woman in the class. And honestly some of those holds are excellent deep stretches; I felt more limber afterward. I’m planning to sign up here in a couple of weeks!
Revolution Dojo is more than just a BJJ school — it’s a community built on respect, discipline, and growth. Under the ownership of Jeff Messina, the atmosphere at all his locations are both welcoming and intense, perfect for anyone serious about improving their game. Jeff’s deep knowledge, passion, and dedication to his students and instructors have shaped not just skilled martial artists, but better people. Truly one of the best places to train.
Coach Chris and his Muay Thai is some of the most authentic Thai techniques around. Jeff Messina and his BJJ team are truly a tried and tested team of warriors. Sensei Jaime and his team’s Judo is as close to Kano’s original vision for Judo you can train. Just know if you’re thinking about joining whether it be for the mat, ring, or cage, you’re getting the best quality training. Great place and even cooler people !
I’ve been training at Revolution Dojo in Houston for about a year now, and it’s been an incredible experience. The community and instructors are welcoming, supportive, and motivating, and they’re always willing to help. I’ve never had a bad experience, and the positive atmosphere keeps me coming back. Being able to train both BJJ and Judo in one place is a huge bonus as well. As a woman, I’ve always felt comfortable, respected, and encouraged here—it’s a space where I can push myself and grow. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to train!
