There was always plethora of knowledge on the mats from experienced upper belts and it was always a very fun training atmosphere. The TPC coaches were very welcoming. Very grateful I was able to find a great gym with world-class talent to train at during my visit to Beaumont.

I've trained the art off n on for awhile and I was pleased with my overall experience here. Very informative classes, respectful training partners, and of course a great workout. I look forward to continue learning more and training.

My 11 year old son has been training here for well over a year and a half and it's been a pleasure! His coaches genuinely care about him as a kid and also his development in jui-jutsu. He has trained at another jiu-jutsu class without anywhere near the results or commitment to him. These guys know what they're doing, and they make it really fun for the kids too! This is the place to go!

I showed up to TPC knowing NOTHING about BJJ (or martial arts in general). As soon as I walked in the door, I felt welcome and my nerves were eased by the friendly and professional staff and other TPC students. Class instruction was appropriate for every level of student, and I received excellent one-on-one instruction to get me off the ground. The other students were also exceptionally helpful to build my confidence and comfort. The atmosphere at TPC is a perfect combination of friendly and tough. I learned that the best way to respect myself and my sparring partner was to push myself mentally
