I came to the gym almost a year ago and I can proudly say that I loved every minute if it. I have done each class and learned a lot from each coach. Whether it was from kickboxing to jiu jitsu (gi and no gi) or cardio kickboxing, the coaches were there to help if I didn’t know certain things. Not only that, the members in the gym were (still are) very welcoming to new people and there to help out in anyway possible. I knew when I came to this gym, this was the place to be. I even got my mother, my brother and kids to join and they all seem to have the same great experience as I did. I recommend this gym to everyone who wants train in mma, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu or even to get in shape. Hope this review helped and can’t wait to see new faces there! Let’s go! 💪💪
I love everything about Weapons at Hand. I came in with absolutely no experience in martial arts, and started doing the women’s only classes. They are killer for cardio, and they really teach you the basics of martial arts. Every instructor I’ve worked with is professional, caring, and friendly. When I moved up and started doing the partner drills classes, I learned so much from all the fighters and competitors at WAH. Rudy is top notch and really has a way of explaining things to you so that it clicks, and he doesn’t have anyone instructing in his academy that don’t meet his standards. Roger and his jiu jitsu program are also incredible. He’s a well rounded coach who really cares for his students. I have trained at multiple gyms all over Texas since moving from Corpus, and literally nothing compares to the atmosphere, instructors, and quality of Weapons at Hand.
I have two 8yr olds that have been coming here for a months now and I have to say , they both , boy and girl , have become happier kids at school. Now I know this is a strange thing to say but an even more surprising thing to realize. My little boy was having problems with a bully at school he never told anyone about ! As a parent its the most helpless and heart breaking thing to deal with . I didn't bring my kids here for self defense, only to have something to do between football seasons. One day I went to pick up my kids from after school Latchkey and one of the staff informed me that my son was in time out... but not in trouble !?! I asked what happened and they informed that he was choking a bigger boy from behind on the ground ! Then I asked , " then ,what do you mean he's not in trouble ...? " Thats when the staff told me my son has been having problems with this boy for a while now , I was so angry they didn't tell me sooner or
When I first walked into WAH, I was so nervous, I had no fighting background and didn’t even know how to throw a punch. From day one, the coaches, staff, and members welcomed me with open arms and helped me learn the art of kickboxing. It has become the best workout I’ve ever experienced. I even got to take part in a charity kickboxing event, which was unforgettable! Coach Rudy and Coach Bazan trained me every step of the way, and it’s a memory I’ll cherish forever. If you’re on the fence about trying it, don’t be. I can’t recommend the kickboxing classes at WAH enough. This is not just a gym, it’s a community of friends, a place you can workout AND have a blast.
Our gson has been a member of WAH for three+ years and he absolutely loves everything about this academy- coaches, peers, cross- training, etc. The training can be very intense, but intense only makes one better! If ever there is a problem at the gym, and a coach is notified of the problem, one can be certain the problem will be addressed in-house. My gson has been a member at other gyms, but WAH is the first MMA gym that I trust with the safety of my gson. WAH really reflects a family atmosphere. Give it a try- you won't be disappointed!
My son attends WAH and it’s been amazing to watch. Coach Rudy is a fantastic coach who supports my son’s learning while still being a “no nonsense” coach. It’s after school so you can imagine the pent up energy these kids have, yet it’s structured, teaching them discipline, while being fun, allowing them to get the wiggles out. My son has learned a lot so far and we are excited for him to continue learning from Coach Rudy.
