BVMMA has been an amazing experience! As someone who has never done martial arts or wrestling, the learning environment has been stellar. The coaches are top notch and break the moves down so they are easy to understand. Even the students who are experienced will take their time to help you if you need it. One of the many great things I have noticed is the coaches teach real world applications of the various moves, which makes for great self defense. I highly recommend this gym.

Myself and 4 of my kids are members of this amazing gym. When we joined 7 months ago, I was so impressed with the friendliness of everyone and the focus on character development as well as skills in martial arts. The coaches and management here know what they are doing. I am also very grateful for the various times that classes are offered, especially the 6 am, which is so important for people with busy schedules. I wish I could give a higher recommendation to this gym. Keep up the good work.

The coaches are high quality and down to earth. They truly make you feel like part of the family. I started jujitsu in my forties and its been amazing for my fitness. I highly recommend trying it out, you will not be disappointed!

Ive trained here for 3 years, have lost about 30 pounds, made a ton of friends, and have had an absolute blast.The staff and coaches are all next level - theres a reason why BVMMA dominates at jiujitsu tournaments and MMA events. The head coach Bubba Bush is a former UFC Fighter and has cornered main event fights in the UFC - youre being taught by someone who has done this at the highest level.My kids go as well and training has been SO GOOD for them, they love it.BVMMA offers a free week trial, give it a shot and see if its for you!

My son has been doing the jujitsu classes for over a year, and about 6 months for the kickboxing class. Im a single parent, and the coaches and staff at BVMMA have been amazingly helpful about anything from needing to delay payment so I can catch up, to allowing me to pause payment when hes off visiting his mother. These classes have helped with his overall confidence, his goal setting abilities, and just general body control. They are like a big MMA family and I can do nothing but brag about this place.

Ive been working out at BVMMA since October of 2013 and have made tremendous strides in my strength, cardio, and overall fitness. I mainly do the RAZR class, but have also enjoyed the cardio kickboxing. Its nice that each class has a trainer, so you know exactly what youre doing -- and how to do it! Start now and dont look back.

This is a great place for most, but it wasnt for me. I was doing BJJ for 7 months and the best part about the gym is Bubba, the head instructor. There are other good aspects too.There are some aspects that can be improved, and I hope they are able to address them, but otherwise, a great place.

Great place to learn hard things.Did a couple of the free classes and I was hooked. There is an OCEAN of things to study, learn, utilize, experience while training. You really get to know yourself and test yourself. People are great. Everyone is welcoming and supporting. Everyone wants you to succeed. The coach’s have a knowledge set that I could only hope to possess one day. They all walk around and check on everyone during drills and are really trying to help everyone in the class do their best.

I’ve been training in martial arts for over 12 years now. When I moved to College Station I discovered that I would have to take up a new martial art. I watched one class and knew Coach Bush and his team were the right fit. A dedicated and very respectful team. While BJJ is still a male dominate sport Coach Bush makes sure everyone is comfortable and safe. If anyone is curious about this gym I highly recommend coming in to watch a class or use the trial and decide for your self.

Fantastic place to train. If you need a place in College Station this is it. Professor/Coach Bubba is a former UFC fighter and BJJ black belt under Carlos Machado and there are many other super qualified people who Ive had the pleasure of meeting and learning so much from. Taking those nervous first steps through the door was hardest for me but everyone here is super helpful and nice, especially to beginners. Ive lost almost 40 lbs since joining with no previous experience so if youre new, COME TRAIN. You get a free week anyway. Just give it a try and see if you like it. Call the number, get details, sign the paperwork, and come learn. The knowledge is extremely valuable. If you come just once I promise youll want to come back again and again.

This place is full of awesome professionals, and worth every penny. The only thing I wish is that they did BJJ in the morning.Ive been to other places and I can confidently say that the cleanliness is great and the way the instructing is done is fantastic.Wish I could still go.

This is the best gym in town bar none. You are getting trained by real pros here. Every exercise has a purpose and is focused. BVMMA has an encouraging atmosphere and everyone is trying to help everyone get better. I worked out at a few places in town but youre not going to find the variety you can here. The classes are fun, challenging, and have a practical use.

Unfortunately I was only able to attend 1 class during BVMMAs free week because of schedule conflicts, but I was surprised by how effective their hybrid environment is, with beginners training alongside veteran students. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming -- they remembered my name on the way out! As low as my experience is, 10/10 would recommend for beginners like myself to make this their first choice for learning the ways of the ninja. xD

BVMMA is great! It has really helped my son pay more attention at home and especially at school. Hes been going there since July and his grades have dramatically improved. His teacher has even taken the time to ask me if he has been doing anything different because she has noticed such an improvement. Signing my son up for BVMMA is by far the best thing I could have done to improve his self esteem and most definitely his education. Thank you so much BVMMA!!!

Excellent coaching and wonderful people. They truly are a family and no one has a big ego like other MMA gyms I have been to. Honestly one of the best gyms ever in actual technique and providing a great workout. But for me the people there became family, and Ive found that harder or not existant at other gyms. Miss you guys at BVMMA!

Bubba is one of the best In the business. I’ve trained at a lot of gyms. His principle/ curriculum based approach to grappling is the best way I’ve seen it taught. Little principles he’s taught like “when in doubt switch your hips” have saved my butt in many grappling scenarios.

BVMMA is the best place they brought a smile back to my son that he has been missing ever since his grandmother passed away in April they thought him to live by 4 simple words HONOR DISCIPLINE RESPECT COURAGE he has been living by those words ever since they have some of the best coach’s anywhere I would very highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to join and for anyone wanting to put their kids in an excellent program

I was involved with BVMMA for over a year before I moved. They have a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and they come alongside you wherever youre at in your BJJ journey, from complete beginner to pro. The coaches are encouraging, but they push you to your limits. If youre looking to grow and be challenged, this is the place for you.

I found out about BVMMA through a friend. Everybody there is so nice and helpful. Starting with my first day there, people have always been willing to help. It is a little intimidating walking into a mma gym for the first time, but everybody was very welcoming.The coaches are great. They really know what they are talking about and actually do care about their students. They arent just there to collect money and go home. They want to see everybody progress and get better. Its a big family that welcomes everybody.

I love BVMMA! Ive always wanted to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and finally decided to give it a shot this year. I called several other gyms, but BVMMA was the only place that actually took the time to answer all my questions. My round trip to train here is over 2hrs, and its completely worth it! Great instructors & great environment!

I have been part of the BVMMA family since 2007. Thats exactly what it is; a family. Quality training with a focus on excellence combined with professionalism and a strong community that cares makes for a winning combination on the mats, in the cage, and in life. BVMMA makes stronger people, not just stronger athletes.

I joined BVMMA fresh out of the Marines in 2008 as a way to stay fit and compete. BVMMA has a welcoming environment, and there is a since of comradery present among those who train there equal to that which I was accustom to while serving. I expected to be around a bunch of meat-head fighters, but soon learned that this wasnt the case. The gym is ran and coached by strong level headed men of great moral character. The skills I have developed by training at BVMMA have been extremely beneficial in my new career as a police officer. I have since enrolled my eight year old daughter in the kids program and have been very pleased. Great Gym, Great Environment!

I tried another place and it wasnt bad at all but then I tried BVMMA and those people were really friendly and outgoing.They gave me the confiedence that I needed to get better. Plus, there was a bit more competition at BVMMA and I loved every second of it. And they offere great prices.

I really like the RAZR Fitness class. Matt is really great about tailoring the workouts so that no matter how in shape (or not) you are, you get a great workout. He is also really good about teaching us how to do the moves properly so that we dont get injured by doing it the wrong way or doing too much in one day. I also do the BJJ class and LOVE it. It is the best self-defense class Ive found since it teaches you how to take down people who are bigger than you. Plus, its a lot of fun!

I recently began attending the Friday evening Womens class, and its awesome! Very much tailored to what we want to work on, with personal attention and critiques. Also a great way to gauge how we are growing individually as fighters. Finally learned how to get out of side control ;)

My 9 year old son has ADHD but we took him off medication because of the side effects. Since starting the kids program at BVMMA, he has had much better behavior. BJJ has helped calm him and keep him centered. It has even made him a better listener and student in school. After my son started, my 13 year old daughter wanted to try. Her self esteem and confidence has gone through the roof! She is so proud of herself after she learns a new move or earns a stripe. Plus, I like that she knows how to defend herself. I am so glad my family started this new hobby together - my kids have grown so close because of it! The coaches are fantastic and BVMMA really feels like family.

I came to this gym looking for a crossfit type workout but what I found was much better. Their fitness class has full body strength training and cardio components like crossfit, but the trainers pay strict attention to form and the correct technique. They scale the workouts appropriately for the individual while still maintaining the group dynamic which really motivates me.I dont feel bad when Im not as fast or strong as someone else because the positive feedback from the trainers and encouragement from the group. I have gained so much confidence in a short time, and felt so welcomed by the staff and the other patrons that I have started their Brazilian Juijitsu class and love it!

I started training at BVMMA my senior year at TAMU. Within the first few months I lost ~50 lbs and I raised my over all GPA a few points. MMA is a fun activity that anyone can do; personally I became more determined, learned to set goals for myself, and gained confidence I had previously lacked. BVMMA gave structure to my sloppy college lifestyle and introduced me to great group of training partners who quickly became my friends.At first I was nervous about the idea of fighting but the coaches allow you develop at your own pace while encouraging you expand your skill set. They offer a lot of classes, so if youre afraid punching/getting punched you can still wrestle and do Jujitsu. You do not need to be an athlete to join. Skills I learned transferred well to other athletic events. I gained coordination, strength, and over all athleticism. The coaches encourage you to compete in tournaments with other teams, this is a lot of fun. I went to a few tourneys and did well in all of them and took gold in the Texas Open for my division.I am now a personal trainer and I encourage all my clients to to do Jujitsu. A few of the benefits include developing strength, improving flexibility as well as cardio. It may just feel like you are having fun but in one hour you can burn over 800 calories.TL;DR Join BVMMA and get fit, meet cool people, and learn a unique skill set
