KIDS JIU-JITSU
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art designed to work with the principles of leverage and technique instead of brutal force and strength. The main focus of BJJ is on the ground grappling. This is the most important and often the most neglected area of martial arts and MMA. It is a fact that 90% of all fights end up in clinch and eventually on the ground. BJJ gives you the necessary tools to fully protect yourself in the most common type of street confrontation. We always encourage students to walk away from a fight if you can, but we believe the combination of skills we teach gives you the opportunity to defend yourself effectively against an aggressor.
To excel, individuals need to have a strong set of values and a solid character that give them the perseverance to achieve their goals. BJJ in a positive and supportive setting such as that found at United Martial Arts Katy creates an environment that allows them to experience and understand core values like focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation, and respect needed for a child to mature towards a real-life champion. The outcome of continued childhood practice of martial arts goes far beyond the accomplishments on the mats. The discipline and excellence demanded by our instructors often carries over to the child’s behavior at home and at school.

PRIVATE TRAINING
Can a student learn more and learn faster? Is it beneficial to have one-on-one time with my instructor?
Your progress is a consequence of how hard and how smart you work. Group classes here at United Martial Arts Katy, are the best-proven way to teach Jiu-Jitsu, TKD, etc., since the diversity of training partners creates different challenges and allows students to improve more quickly. However, private classes are definitely an essential complement that no serious student should do without. The individual attention and approach that a 1-hour session with one of our instructors provides leads to significant improvement in a student’s skills. It is highly recommended that all students take at least one private lesson per month to review techniques and address specific challenges in his or her training.
PRIVATE SESSIONS CAN BE SCHEDULED WITH ANY OF OUR INSTRUCTORS FOR THE FOLLOWING CLASSES: Tae Kwon Do, BJJ and Wrestling. Your private classes here at United Martial Arts Katy will be specifically designed to fit your needs and goals. To get started contact the school’s staff and explain that you’d like to take private classes. We’ll set an appointment with an available instructor so he or she can evaluate and build a program for you. There are many package options available.
TEEN/ADULT JIU-JITSU
Since first opening a part-time schedule in 2018, United Martial Arts Katy students have already established that they are high caliber competitors in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and train at one of the best gyms in Katy, Texas. They have accomplished significant wins at tournaments against more established BJJ gyms. Our classes are designed for a wide range of ages and ability levels, from beginners to black belts.
United Martial Arts Katy added Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to its martial arts offerings in 2018. The first instructor was Gracie Barra Black belt and IBJJF Masters World Champion Patrick Cox. After deciding to expand its BJJ classes, United Martial Arts Katy brought in Professor CJ Hancock, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Professor Ulpiano Malachias (black belt under Carlos Gracie Jr) of Gracie Barra fame, as the first full-time professor. United Martial Arts Katy is proud to join the worldwide movement of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and mixed martial arts.
United Martial Arts Katy training in BJJ is offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Our group classes are taught by Certified instructors who are also decorated competitors in their martial arts. Our BJJ programs and classes provide ever-evolving teaching and support so that our members have the opportunity to achieve and develop their skills to reach their personal goals whatever they may be – competition, self-defense, improve athleticism and health or just for fun– all while learning the martial arts discipline in Katy, Texas.
TEEN/ADULT TAE KWON DO
Teen/ Adult TKD is designed for ages 12+. The pace is a little quicker than kids class with more advanced technique taught. Teens /Adults process and store information quicker and retain it easier than kids so we focus on precision striking, footwork and strategies for personal self defense and/or competition. All classes taught by Certified 7th dan Black belt Master Christopher J. Santarose.

ADVANCED/MMA
After approximately 4-6 months of participation (depending upon your individual attendance) in the fundamentals classes, what is next on the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey?
While the Fundamentals Program focuses on the building blocks and basic principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ( BJJ ), the Advanced Program is built on high-level techniques and drills that start shaping the students game flow through the development of reflexes, speed and reaction time as well as transitions between one technique and another.
After a few months in the United Advanced Program students typically experience a deeper involvement in United’s philosophy, a stronger bond with training partners as well as more discipline and commitment to healthy habits that keep them in good shape.
In Tae Kwon Do we expect students to advance according to age, attentiveness and effort to progress through belt levels. Most students may attend Advanced classes by the time they reach blue belt (approx. 1 yr. 2 mo.) The advanced program strives to add more skills to an already accomplished student. Footwork, evasive and counter-attacking skills are accelerated. Combination kicking, spinning and jumping techniques are added along with additional hand striking techniques.
The Advanced BJJ Program is based on a defined class structure and curriculum that take a broad and open-minded approach, incorporating techniques from different grappling styles like wrestling, judo, sambo, and, of course, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We offer many variations of classes within the ‘Advanced’ Program all of which compliment your game and provide a different stimulating learning environment: Advanced Gi BJJ, No-Gi classes, Competition/Open Mat classes and Private classes.
When practice is more important than your next belt, you have truly become a United Martial Arts Katy student.
