I want to counter some of the negative reviews. Yes, it's expensive, until you end up going to all of the classes you can in a week, when it's about $5 per class. Yes, there's a contract. While there are some specific outs to the contract, there is a trial period. What I've noticed though is that most kids who don't like it at the start grow into it as they learn to persevere. No, it's not karate, it's martial arts. It's a great synthesis of TKD, Karate, Kendo, and others. For the under 13 classes, the goal is to teach life lessons integrated with martial arts thinking. Perseverance and punches. Thought processes and technique. Respect, confidence, attitude, all while gaining muscle control and muscle memory. Then, as teens and adults (or once they have their kids black belt) they learn the real martial arts. As a beginner, or intermediate belt, they push the student forward, encouraging them to progress through belt tests. As they hit the higher ranks though, that changes and they really get pushed. It's not pay to play, it's pay to see growth, because an 8 year old will give up if they're stuck at gold belt because their stance isn't good enough. My son has been here for 3.5 years now, my daughter for 2.5, myself for 2.5 years in adult karate and jujitsu.

I have waited for over 2 months before making up my mind about this place. My daughters smile every time we leave a class has made my decision for me. My daughter has done a complete 180 in her self esteem and confidence. The Moreno Familia has genuinely brought out the Best in her in a very short time. She started out and continues to be a very shy and meek young lady, but in class she is learning to find her voice. She not only looks forward to going to class, she comes home and puts what is taught in class into her everyday life. Yes Sir, Yes Ma'am, No Sir and No Ma'am WOW!!! Thank You Carlos, Fernando, Mr. Jamie and the rest of the Moreno Familia for sharing your passion for Martial Arts.

My son just started attending classes here and he is loving it! The instructor is great with the kids and interacts with all of them. Not only do they learn to defend themselves, but the instructors teach them responsibility outside of karate. This has been such a great move for my son as he is very timid, but the instructors are great at what they do and make the kids feel comfortable. Love this school and would definitely recommend it!

This place is such a scam! They just sit the kids in the corner and ignore them. And when you get sick of paying for your kid to sit around all class they refuse to let you cancel the classes. You are not allowed to cancel classes during the week, you are not allowed to cancel over the phone, and you have to schedule a meeting with the owner on HIS schedule (which he only has openings on some Saturdays) to actually cancel. They schedule them in the middle of the month so you get stuck paying the fees for the whole month.

My family has been part of TXBBA for a little over a year now. My daughter does karate and I do jiu jitsu. We absolutely love it! The Moreno family is amazing at what they do and make you feel extremely welcomed. Give TXBBA a try. You will be glad you did!

The teachers are very good at what they do. The kiddos love it and listen to them. They keep their students attention and they learn a lot even in a 30 min. Class.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great training facility and a great family that owns/operates it. After I watched my 4 year old in Karate and Jiu Jitsu, I decided to start Jiu Jitsu myself at TXBBA Cleburne. Yes, there is a contract here, but you can try a free class first if you want. Regardless of the martial arts form you choose, you have to show up, have discipline and persevere to be successful, and I believe having a contract just reinforces that - so don't take it as a negative. If you are on the fence about training here, personally, or having your child train here - try the next class.

We have loved classes for our 4 year old so far! Everyone is very professional and respect is such a huge factor. Our son is already learned so much not just in his lessons about karate and BJJ but listening and respect. We are excited for this new adventure! Yes, you have to sign a contract tract and make a commitment. We read the fine print and understood we were committing to 16 months. We have used this as a way to teach our son responsibility and commitment.

Fantastic Sensei teaching children of all ages the discipline, respect, and responsibilities needed for our future leaders. My son started at 4 years old and has grown to a strong black belt learning daily to prepare for the world ahead of him. Highly recommend!!!

Do not take your kid here!! I paid over 1500$ (still billing me with fees included) for 1 or 2 classes! Wouldn't cancel or work with me when I had a life event. Now call and harass me when I don't have the money. Feel really scammed into signing up.

This place has changed my life. I cant even begin to express my gratitude to the instructor Mr. Fernando has taught me so many things not only jujitsu and kickboxing but lessons that i will carry for the rest of my life i just wanted to say thank you sir and thanks TXBBA!

DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT with these people!!! My daughter tried two classes, it was not for her, it also did not fit in with our work schedule, my husband didn't want her to continue and they were absolutely unbending about wanting their money. Roughly 2000.00. They do not care about the client . We met with them and explained our situation. They do not care and now, after going through a divorce, struggling financially for over a year and finally getting to a good place, they are sending this to collections. I would never recommend this place to anyone and would take my business elsewhere.

This place is amazing!!My child when he started did not have the confidence in himself when he came here.He has changed in one year into this amazing young man who has so much confidence in himself who isn't afraid to try anything and willing to help anyone. We Love All the instructors who work hard to insure that every child gets the attention they need and deserve. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The teachers here are incredibly patient and teach kids more than martial arts. I cannot recommend them enough.

Its a lot of fun with mr fernando as my teacher everything i have been taight i haven’t forgotten and i love it here

My family joined the TXBBA almost a month ago. My husband and I were recommended by a friend when we expressed to them about our 6yr old behavior at school not being the best. He would receive more straight faces and sad faces than smiley faces. We attended their free Anti Bullying class for the first time about 3 weeks ago and our son was hooked! He had that sparkle in his eye when the class was over. The administrators who signed us up were helpful and kind. I loved the fact that they informed our son what his responsibilities were and it wasn't mom and dad's job to ensure he had what he needed for class. They also gave him a workbook for his first 8 weeks in class that have character building home work for him to do each week. My husband and I loved the Dojo so much, we joined as well! The instructors Fernando and Jamie are amazing, and so patient with the kids! I have noticed my confidence risen and my husband self worth went up as well. My husband has felt he was lacking purpose other than being a husband and a parent - he desired a challenge. He found Brazilian jujitsu at TXBBA and fell in love. I love seeing him so excited to go to class. It has warmed my heart so much. Thank you TXBBA for adding us to your family 🥋🙏🏾💯

Would recommend them to anybody and everybody! Their classes keep the kids engaged and focused, and keep everyone coming back for more. They’re great with their students staying active while also teaching them core values that will stay with them forever!
