811 E Yellow Jacket Ln Suite 130, Rockwall, TX 75087
Been training since 2020 here. Good staff, great variety of classes. 6 am is great for the working folks. Kids program is great, 5 year old daughter takes class with Josh, he does a great job. Recommend anyone needing a home gym near or in Rockwall.
The Strength & Conditioning class was tough especially for someone with a doughy center and rice crispy joints. But Coach Josh was good at motivating the class and helpful in improving our form! I was intimidated to join the Women's Jiujitsu but the class is small, everyone is welcoming, and Coach Haley does a great job being patient with beginners. Josh and Haley also teach the Toddler Jiujitsu class which my 3 year old loves. A no frills gym with a strong sense of community.
Love this place! The coaches are the nicest and most knowledgeable I’ve seen. Both my boys have been coming here for over a year and they love it!
CAYA stands for Come As You Are, and they mean it. My family found CAYA at a pivotal moment in our lives. Some of our village had moved away, a very close relative had passed, and we all felt very lonely. CAYA and the incredible people we have met have breathed life back into our whole family. We are a family of 6, and everyone but the baby takes classes here. That includes kids 4-7 years old, my brown belt husband, and me, a white belt on a weight loss journey. The coaches and really everyone have accepted us with open arms. I was particularly nervous about this because the oldest two kids are not neurotypical. If you’re concerned about your child with adhd or autism being ok here, fear not. The coaches truly understand differences and work with all kind of amazing kids. For us, CAYA is more than a place to get a good workout — though it is certainly that! It’s part of my kids’ development, it’s self-defense, it’s a social life with no-drama friends. For me, it’s an hour or so every day that’s just about me and my own development. Whoever you are, wherever you are in your fitness journey, whatever your personal beliefs — you’re welcome here. Just wash your gi and be kind!
I've been going to CAYA for about 2.5 years now. The owner Kati and all of the coaches are amazing! The gym offers a free week trial before you sign up which is more than most places who only offer one class for their trial. I don't have kids but if you do I highly suggest you bring them here! They have classes for all ages starting at 3 years old. The kids absolutely love Coach Josh and Coach Haley! All of the coaches truly care for the students at the gym. The community here is amazing and I'm so lucky I found this gym!
We absolutely love this gym, coaches are great and the owner Kati is so friendly and courteous. Very kid friendly here and my daughter loves the self defense class. She loves coming here and always looks forward to working with Coach Josh and Coach Hailey. The women’s bjj class is awesome as well! Everyone is so nice and welcoming here, we truly appreciate having this gym in our community.
My son has really loved being at Caya. In a short amount of time he gained a lot of confidence in himself. He loves the coaches. The staff and owners are amazing. Everyone who walks through the door is treated like family. 10/10 recommend.
I enrolled my children here a little over a year ago. The development of my children, not just in Jiu-Jitsu and mma, but also in their character is apparent. The patience and skill the coaches have shown have been invaluable for my kids’ development. The entire gym, not just the staff, have a vested interest in it’s members and families. I have personally observed the owners and staff work hard to create a healthy and inclusive culture that not only makes it very welcoming, but makes it easier to resolve issues that may arise. I have been very impressed, that I joined a few months ago. Metaphorically speaking, the gym feels like your local mom and pop store (or local barber shop) where everyone hangs out and has fun. Come hang out and check it out. But beware, you may not want to leave.
This is a great gym with a family friendly atmosphere. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. The owners and the instructors are very knowledgeable in martial arts and it’s a great place to workout. I go twice a week and my husband goes 4 days a week, we love it!
I highly recommend CAYA Martial Arts. A family oriented environment, where instructors are very skilled in their area of martlal art (i.e., MMA, Jiu Jitsu/Gi & No Gi, etc.), and they all display a great eagerness/interest to help their students excel in the class. The best part, CAYA Martial Arts has created a space of commadarie, where students not only compete, but also are there to help each other improve. My family is very happy to come across Caya Martial Arts to learn Jiu Jitsu.
Great place to learn new skills. Amazing kids/youth program with great parents and coaches!! Very clean and I highly recommend!!!
Stopped into CAYA Martial Arts for some BJJ classes while I was visiting from out of town. Everyone was very kind and welcoming and had some great rolls. Definitely check it out if you're in town!
Awesome place to train everyone is friendly and clean environment.
Kids love the class, everyone is friendly and they are very patient with everyone's learning process. I can't wait to try out the women's class.
I have a question if I wanted to do jiujitsu and wanted to do completion or fights could y’all help me achieve that
We enrolled our kids (7 and 5) in bully defense/BJJ a couple of months ago, and it’s been a great experience for all. The entire team there…Hugo, Patricia, Victor, Kati, are so passionate about teaching and creating a fun/supportive environment. My kids love it and are learning valuable life skills. I decided to do BJJ myself…it’s an incredible workout! I look forward to each class.
CAYA Martial Arts is an awesome place to train. Coach Hugo runs a very organized and respectful environment and makes everyone better. You HAVE to check these guys out!
This place is life changing and empowering! My 5 year old daughter and I both take classes. In our classes we learn valuable skills to defend ourselves and so much more. We gain confidence and walk out of class feeling strong and capable. As someone who knew absolutely zero about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the professors made me feel comfortable and took time to teach me from my beginner level.
Highly recommend. The coaches are so good with the kids. My 5 year old was so apprehensive about it and they have been so good with him. Jiu Jitsu has really helped him come out of his shell and gain so much confidence. My 7 year old has loved it from the beginning and it’s so fun to watch him get better and better.
Well this is a very clean jujitsu gym. The staff here are very friendly and patient with new members. They have everything you might need at this gym. Whether it be for self defense, to get back in shape, or to train for competitive jujitsu tournaments. Katty works the front desk. She was knowledgeable and patient with me. This place is amazing. I enrolled my 7year old and 9year old. Now thinking about doing this myself. Hope this review helps you. Just stop by and give it a shot.
Family friendly. The coach has patience with the kids he is training. Love this place.
Such an amazing gym. The owners Victor and Kati make you feel right at home. They are so welcoming. The workouts are challenging and the coaches are motivating. I am not a gym person, I’ve typically preferred working out at home but the kickboxing class is a blast and the people make it even better. Come join us 539 am on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s for kickboxing and Saturdays at 9am. 🥊🥊🥊
Loved my experience at Caya!! Everything was super clean and everybody was so warm and welcoming, especially Kati!!! She greets you with a smile and makes everyone feel so comfortable right away. Will definitely be back for some more nogi!! :)
If you're tired of the same routine at your gym, come and try the kickboxing classes! Coach Victor keeps you moving and motivated. Never boring! I'm 56 and love love love the classes, coaches and the people. Come As You Are. . . it's fun and a great stress reliever too!!
Caya Martial Arts is a very welcoming and family oriented gym! The instructors are very kind and knowledgeable. Their gym provides kick boxing as well as Jiu-Jitsu! Their facility also has plenty of mat space, changing rooms, and showers. The staff is very friendly and will cater to you and your personal goals. I recommend Caya to anyone looking to get into shape and aquiring new skills.
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Not only are they phenomenal with kids but also had something to keep my 1 year old entertained while we watched my son at practice. The owners are very customer service oriented and care about each students progress with them. A+ in my book!!
I had my first class today at Caya Martial Arts. To say I wasn't tired is an understatement as I haven't been accountable or pushed in some time during a workout. Victor and Kati communicated each step with me, helping me with my form and great encouragement. I am excited to see how I progress in the coming weeks and months. I highly recommend Caya and their strong love of the sport.
Today was my first day training at CAYA Martial Arts. I felt so welcomed at the gym. Victor and Kati are the owners and were very friendly when informing me on the class schedule and prices. I’m now a member of the gym and can’t wait to start my jiu-jitsu journey!
Coach Victor, Coach Kati and Coach Colby are amazing. This sport and the team at Kingdom have helped my son so much in the first year.
My 8 and 12 year old sons have been enrolled at Kingdom Jui Jitsu Rockwall for about a year. They really enjoy it and have already learned so much. We love Coach Victor and Kati!
Love everything about this gym!! Both of my boys have learned so much, and gave tons of fun!
My daughter has been changed since learning JiuJitsu 2 years ago with Coach Victor. She used to be anxious,shy and timid lacking confidence. NOW she is STRONG,COURAGEOUS, BOLD and CONFIDENT! And the icing on the cake is she no longer struggles with anxiety/panic attacks. She now competes in JiuJitsu tournaments and wants to compete internationally. Coach Victor is very patient with all the kids and makes sure they are learning proper technique until they move on to the next. We can not be anymore thankful for what Kingdom Jui-Jitsu Rockwall has done for our daughter.
Poor business. Asked to be unenrolled from recurring payments. "Sure just text me" was her response. Charged 9 days later. ***Careful bringing your children here. The kids just run around cursing in front of my 5yo as well as other young children.
