Why Parents Choose Martial Arts for Kids and Adults

Students in gis gathered for a belt promotion at the gym

Parents have a lot of options for after school. Team sports, dance, tutoring, screens. So why do so many Alvin families end up at Guerra's House of Warriors, and stay for years? Here is what they tell us.

Their kids can actually protect themselves

This is the big one. Parents want to know their child can handle a bully, or worse. Our kids learn real jiu-jitsu and striking, not a routine. As one mom put it in her review, this is not a gimmicky gym, and your child will really learn how to fight.

Discipline and respect come home with them

Kids learn to listen, to accept correction and to respect their coach and teammates. One mom told us the gym taught her son respect and kindness toward adults and peers, and that he even says he loves coming.

A coach who cares, and does not coddle

Coach Guerra is strict. Parents say so, and they say it as praise. He cares about every family in the gym and he is focused on safety, but he will not baby anyone. Kids learn that effort earns results, and that lesson lasts.

The whole family can train

Here is the part many parents do not expect: they end up training too. Students 11 and up join the adult jiu-jitsu and MMA kickboxing classes, and parents train alongside their teenagers. It is a workout, a stress reliever and time together, all at once.

It lasts

Sports seasons end. Martial arts does not have to. One of our students started at four and has been training here for eleven years. Some adults have been with coach for more than a decade.

See it for yourself

Kids classes run Monday to Thursday, ages 4 to 7 at 5:00 PM and ages 8 to 10 at 6:00 PM. Teens and adults train at 7:00 and 8:00 PM. The first class is free, and afterwards the head coach sits down with you to go over programs and pricing. Claim your free class.
