The classes they run
“I have watched the other kids classes and have noticed that all of the instructors have big hearts and care about each and everyone of their students.”
“UPDATE: we're at Global at least 3 ton4 days a week, especially as our kids went through their black belt test.”
Other martial arts here
“I’ve been attending the adult BJJ classes for about 3 months and I couldn’t be happier with my experience.”
“The best MMA gym in Houston, not only are the coaches outstanding but the community of people are friendly and encouraging!”
What students say
“Amazing coaches and a great family environment with a team that truly cares about you.”
“Whether you’re a beginner looking to try it out for the first time or are experienced & looking to get back into it we highly recommend Global!”
“The professors, coaches and teammates are more than just that- everyone quickly becomes family and everyone is dedicated to seeing you succeed whether it’s on or off the mats.”
“Many of the kids here are at a higher skill level (know more techniques & counters, better at securing position and submission) than the BJJ gym we were at (for ~ 4 years).”
“Whether your into competitions or just doing this for fun, it’s a great place to call your home gym.”
“I can not recommend this place enough, even for people who just want to work out and not focus on martial arts.”
From the reviews
Awesome gym. I’ve been attending the adult BJJ classes for about 3 months and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The owners and coaches at this gym are very welcoming to everyone. Professor Doug is great at breaking down every move. The upper belts are cool and willing to help.
Our kids attend Global Martial Arts. We transferred from the previous tenant due to quality and location. The team there put a ton of focus on every kid and ensure there are enough instructors to do so. Your student will not get left out in favor of another and they will ensure they get out what they put in.
I have been attending GMA for about 6 months now and I’ve loved every second. Jimmy and Hope have been very helpful and they have taught me so much already. I find myself actually excited to come work out and do adult BJJ both morning and night.
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. My boys (3 and 8) look forward to every class and wish they could go every day. It is obvious that the owners and coaches truly care about what they do and about the kids they teach. They are patient and kind but also firm.
New to taekwondo? Start at Global Martial Arts
Global Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Global Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
