Was recommended by my best friend, my daughter has been in Karate since Nov 2024 and I’ve been Doing Boxing Since Dec 2024. I love this place! Luke and Dane and the rest of the trainers are so welcoming and helping with any questions 10/10 would recommend and tell you to try a free class. It’s worth it!
I can't recommend Luke enough. He worked with my two elementary school children until his career moved him out of Houston. Luke created friendly, motivating, and fun sessions that helped us reach our fitness goals for our kids. One of our desires was to empower the kids to own their own strength and wellness. We also wanted them to get into the habit of finding active things to do, even when it's not aerial day, or a great outdoors day. Luke has a warm personality while also being strong and inspiring. He knows his craft well and follows high morals. Luke also happens to be a family man and served in the air force, which speaks to his standards.
BCMA is not just a martial arts studio, it’s a family too. I thankfully stumbled across their cardio kickboxing program a little over a year ago and I didn’t realize then how much I needed a place like BCMA. Besides gaining a far better quality of life physically, this place helped heal my soul. I lost my mother just months before becoming a student there and it helped fill that void. The Vining’s (Master Vining & Mrs. Vining) welcomed me as I was, no judgment, and have treated me like family since the beginning. My daughter is in the juniors class and is beginning to develop more confidence and maturity. The instructors take time to help each student and work with them where they are at. I can’t say enough good things about Dane, Brian, Brisa, Trent, and the instructors in training. Between cardio kickboxing and the juniors class, I am literally there every day they are open. The McDonald’s (Luke & Dane) bring a new chapter to BCMA. They manage to not only maintain what makes BCMA already special, but also add more to reach even more of the community. From personal training, nutritional guidance, MMA clubs, and looking to incorporate more self defense classes. I’m grateful to both the Vining’s and McDonald’s for giving me and my family a second home. If you haven’t tried a free class, I highly recommend it!
Luke McDonald was a consummate Personal Trainer for me in 2023. Initially, he got me, a 74-year-old man with notable left arm/leg limitations, ready to carry a 30+ pound backpack and join my Boy Scout son on 30+ miles of 7,000+ foot mountains for a wilderness week in Philmont, New Mexico. We succeeded! Then, with a broad menu of well-designed, well-demonstrated, and well-documented calisthenic exercises, Luke has gotten me ready to tackle my future as an active, healthy, older adult. Luke will be great at Brick City!
My experience was having Luke McDonald for a personal trainer for 9 months. He was a blessing in my life and helped me become stronger and better able to get around without a walker. I have some disabilities and Luke taught me so much and motivated me to keep pushing myself to be better! He is a very knowledgeable young man who has integrity and is fully committed to each client. I enjoyed my time with him so much and was sad when he moved on to another opportunity. I am sure that he will give his best to anything he pursues!
Luke was a fantastic trainer, providing 1 on 1 strength and conditioning training for me. His systematic workout approach significantly boosted my overall strength, feeling of fitness, and improved my flexibility.
Best place..we have our kiddos here and love it so much! The progress we have seen is unmatched. Thank you Mr &Mrs Vining
We LOVE Brick City Martial Arts! Master Vining and Mrs. Vining make it such a rich learning environment (not just in martial arts) that it creates a one of a kind family. My kiddos are so excited every day it's "ninja" day that it brings such joy to a parents heart. I cannot say enough great things about them or their business. Little Ninjas Program- WONDERFUL program to start little ones in the martial arts world. They really focus on listening skills and honing in on those impulse control skills that martial artists require as well as the basics of martial arts meeting the age level. Both of my boys went through this whole program and graduated to the Little Warriors Program and their behavior and listening skills improved so much through their journey. They met each of my kids where they were (one is very structured and the other is a little bit like Tigger) but had very clear and reasonable expectations that my very different kids were both able to meet. Little Warriors Program- GREAT program for the aspiring martial artist. It's a stricter program than the Little Ninjas as these are 5,6, and 7 year olds but helps kids find those fundamental skills of any sport (balance, teamwork, control, etc) while building their martial art skills. I have one son who has completed the program to move on to the Juniors Program and one still in the program and I love seeing them learn in a safe environment how to work together as a team and their role in a team as an individual, all while learning how to safely defend themselves, build confidence, and control those crazy impulses. Juniors Program- We are still new to the Juniors Program but just like the other programs, very happy with everything about it. Most importantly though, my son LOVES it. I see us staying in the BCMA family for a long, long time!
This place is a perfect location for kids to learn martial arts. My son felt welcome and super excited on the first day and Mr. & Mrs. Vining are easy to work with and very understanding with the kids as well as the parents.
My husband and I went to several different schools and were always sorely disappointed. It was clear that the interest was clearly not in training future martial artists. We were referred to Brick City by a family friend and we immediately saw the difference. Our children are always excited to attend and we have seen amazing things from them in terms of skill and even focus, respect, and attention at home and in school. Master Vinings and Mrs. Vinings are a blessing! Thank you for motivating our kids and giving them something rewarding to look forward to each week!
After trying 3 different gyms, this was the best choice hands down. If you want to learn martial arts, this is definitely the place to go. I have my 6 old currently enrolled, and she loves it. It's an amazing program they have for her age. I've started noticing a change already in her every day life. I'll be enrolling my 16 year old in July.
Both of my kids come here for karate and we absolutely love it! My son was hesitant at first and gave Master Vining and his wife a run for their money trying to get him to participate, and I was ready to pull him. They both asked me to just continue to give him a chance to find his place and it was like a switch flipped and now I can’t keep him away! He runs into class and gives huge hugs to Master Vining and Mrs. Yvonne!!! He tells everyone he LOVES KARATE!! I am incredibly thankful that they care about the health and safety of each and every student and parent. They clean and sanitize between classes, check temps, sanitize hands, and wear masks. I could not be happier with every experience we have had here!!! 10/10 recommend!!!
My 7 year old son wanted to sign up for Karate. I was hesitate at first because we've signed him up for multiple things over the years and he loses interest quickly. It's been a month now and every week before we even have to tell him, he is already ready in his uniform and ready to dart out the door. Karate is teaching him more than just "Karate moves" but also additionally about discipline and respect. Being A.D.H.D learning self discipline has been a challenge but we can already see a difference in his behavior. I visited and researched other Karate classes in the area and this one by far is the most professional, cleanest and nicest facilities. I am so happy that our family is a part of Brick City Martial Arts! I can't thank them enough, if I could give them more than 5 stars I would!
My son Dylan started started at Brick city this last summer and absolutely loves it. Master Vinning and Mr. Logan both are amazing with the kids. Master Vinning insist on teaching respect, discipline, giving 100% effort everytime in everything you do, he is honest with them in a caring way, he is truly building leaders one student at a time. From the first day I took my son his confidence, respect and attitude changed in a very positive way. Not only have I seen this in my child but in others that have come in since, some of them you wouldn't believe the transformation in them unless you saw it yourself, they are truly great with kids. Master Vinning expects each student to put their academic 1st and requires they turn their report cards in to him so he can monitor their efforts at school as well. Master Vinning his wife and Logan make a wonderful team and support each student in a way that makes them want to achieve greatness.
Great martial arts. My daughter recently switched from kenpo karate and her kicks are much better than when she was in her old karate. Brick city gives a great amount of one on one help and the classes are a good size compared to huge companies which is better in my mind. Thank you for your help making my daughter strong in mind and body.
I grew up taking Martial Arts and grew into kick boxing, boxing and later I was a MCMAP instructor for the USMC back in the late 90's and early 2000's. I know a little bit when it comes to talking to a person and feeling if they are the real deal or if they are faking the funk for a check. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Cosby Vining, and after talking for a bit I knew this man was legitimate, like what they called Heavyweight Champ Evander Holyfield- The Real Deal, well that is the only way to describe Mr. Vining. For those wanting to learn the discipline of Martial Arts and self defense he is the person I would go see far and wide, no matter what level from beginner to black belt. He has knowledge of all the modern fighting styles and years of experience as a true Master in the Arts. He knew several people I grew up training with including Superfoot Bill Wallace, Joe "The Jaguar" Lewis and even the man everyone knows- Chuck Norris who was my teachers Instructor. He is legitimate, honest full of integrity and knowledge. If you have even been thinking about self defense or martial arts training then don't wait- call Mr. Vining at Brick City Martial Arts today!
