BJJ at its best with a great Instructor – I started my training here at UJ and learned plenty from Tony Torres-Aponte. I've trained with other instructors here in Houston, Chicago and Miami and have seen the difference that Urban Jungle has to offer. Tony has a great set of guys that train at this gym and offers top notch BJJ. He is a black belt under Royce Gracie and focuses on technique. This is a great place. Looking forward to seeing the new space. Michael
BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT – I've been training at Urban Jungle for approximately 1 year now, and I couldn't be happier. I'm in the best shape of my life, and the skills that you learn in martial arts carry over into every aspect of your life. Tony, Michelle, Victor, and all the student/teachers all are more than willing to help you with anything you need, be it further instruction with technique or maybe how to eat better! You get out of an experience what you put into it, so if you really want to learn a new skill, give it yo... read more
Armbar this! – I've been at Urban Jungle for about a year and a half, and absolutely love it. Tony and family run an excellent business, are truly interested in teaching their students and are very knowledgeable instructors. I leave town often and everytime I come back I can't wait to get back into the gym to train.
I love this place – I've been working out at Urban Jungle for about a year and half now and I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon. Tony and Michelle are super friendly people and have made me feel at home there from the very first lesson. Tony is a Brazilian Jiujitsu blackbelt and the instruction is top notch. They just expanded the academy, adding a cage and a second floor so there's more room to roll. If you want a great workout and are interested in learning about personal self defense, I would highly recommend checkin... read more
An altruistic establishment – I was overweight and embarrassed to go to a gym. I knew I needed to lose weight. I not only wanted to lose weight, but I also wanted to learn how to defend myself. In addition, I wanted to be surrounded by people who had similar goals. I saw that Urban Jungle gave Cardio Kickboxing classes. I entered the building reluctantly because I was thinking, ?all of these people are going to be super-fit and I do not know what I am doing here.? I entered and I was welcomed right away by Michelle with a sm... read more
First class instruction – First I want to say that I've been in the MMA scene for over 6 years, have fought in the Saul Soliz's Houston Renegades, competed in the Worlds Jiu Jitsu Championships, and have trained with UFC veterans like Ricco Rodriguez. When I say that Jiu Jitsu instructor Tony Aponte-Torres gives world class instruction, I'm speaking from experience. Tony is a black belt under Royce Gracie and has trained many top MMA/Jiu Jitsu athletes. As far as the business, they are very family friendly...they hold childr... read more
Best BJJ and Fight Gym – This is a great place to be a part of for whatever fitness goals you have. If you are looking to just get fit or looking to be a competetive martial artist this is the place. The gym is expanding and will be even greater. I have my kids also training in BJJ and would not think of having them anywhere else. Some bad reviews from Felrod79 are unfounded. I have been training there for years and never have seen any disrespect of any student. We know this person and we all know he is lacking as a person a... read more
not satisfied – This wasn't my favorite gym.
Super friendly, great classes, good location, all-around excellent gym – Michelle and Tony are very down to earth and helpful. Their self-defense class is excellent. I recommend it to women of all ages. They are extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. Their gym is very clean and the staff is extremely nice. I'd recommend this gym to anyone interested in martial arts/ kickboxing.
