We love this place! My daughter has really enjoyed learning with Coach Josh. Shes a shy kid with strangers and they did a great job of making her feel at home. As a parent, I especially love how Coach Josh gives life lessons on just being a good human and making a positive impact on the world. Pround EMA family!
Posted 1 year agoI can’t say enough good things about Extreme Martial Arts! From the moment we enrolled our kids, we’ve seen nothing but positive growth both in their skills and their overall confidence. The instructors are incredibly patient, professional, and truly know how to work with kids of all ages. They balance discipline ,fun and knowledge in a way that keeps my children motivated and excited to attend each class. It’s clear they care deeply about each student’s progress, not just on the mat, but as respectful and responsible young people. If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow mentally, emotionally, and physically, I highly recommend Extreme Martial Arts. They’re doing an amazing job, and we’re so happy to be part of the program!
Posted 1 year agoWe’ve been bringing our kids to Extreme Martial Arts in New Braunfels for a while now, and the experience has been amazing. They’ve learned so much and not just in terms of martial arts techniques, but also in confidence, discipline, and character. What really sets this place apart is how they go beyond the physical training, I mean you will get a work out but also After each class, the coach takes time to talk to the kids about real-life values like kindness, setting goals, and staying focused. It’s clear they care about helping kids grow into well-rounded people. We’ve seen such a positive impact on our children that my husband ended up joining too! All The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly invested in their students’ growth. Highly recommend.
Posted 1 year agoThe staff and coaches have been super welcoming and friendly since we inquired and have attended classes . My son had no prior experience , they were patient with him and worked with him . He’s always super excited to go to class. Facility is also well kept and clean . Lauren , Coach Josh are so amazing ! I also recently started adult beginner kick boxing with Coach Macie & it’s been an enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is very welcoming regardless of your level of experience. Coach Macie has been very patient and kind . The facility in general is amazing ! The programs they have for the kids and the camps , the coaches interactions and Mrs. Lauren make it enjoyable and a fun place to be at !!
Posted 1 year agoWe have been attending Extreme Martial Arts just under a month and I can not describe how excited and happy we are to see our two boys excelling in their discipline focus and confidence. I know this is just the beginning but already my husband and I are so glad we made the jump to put them in. It was our timing and we were never pressured by the coaches snd instructors. It has nothing but professional and we live Coach Macie and her dedication and passion for the boys learning the sport. Looking forward to the growth going forward.
Posted 1 year agoMy 8 year old daughter expressed an interest in kickboxing. I was both excited and terrified. Extreme Martial Arts welcomed us with open arms and put me at ease. The instructors balance authority and discipline with a warmness for each student. I’m watching my daughter gain confidence, develop respect for herself and others, get healthy, and have fun. A great experience for our family thus far!
I can't say enough good things about Extreme Martial Arts! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and motivated. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always push you to be your best. The workouts are intense but fun, and you leave every session feeling stronger, both physically and mentally. The gym itself is clean, well equipped, and has a great energy that keeps you coming back. The community here is amazing! Everyone is supportive, and it truly feels like a family. If you're looking for a place to train, get fit, and have a blast doing it, this is the place to be! Highly recommend! 🥊🔥
My son’s experience with martial arts has been nothing short of amazing! The program has helped him build confidence, discipline, and focus, both on and off the mat. The instructors are incredibly patient, encouraging, and skilled at working with kids of all levels. He’s also developed valuable life skills like respect, perseverance, and goal-setting. It’s been so rewarding to watch him grow and thrive through each challenge and accomplishment. I couldn’t be more pleased with how martial arts has positively impacted his confidence and character. Highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a way to help their child grow!
My kids have only been going a few weeks and LOVE it. the coaching staff really have the biggest hearts and are so supportive!
Son attends and enjoys it. The class schedule works for us and the staff are always friendly and encouraging.
My son joined recently, and with the few classes he’s had I already see him growing in this sport. He truly loves showing up and learning something new. He’s a silly boy, thank y’all so much for your patience with him. I highly recommend!
My Granddaughter Sofia Slade joined EMA at the beginning of summer and her self confidence has increased tremendously. EMA has many coaches and provides one on one instruction and I am impressed with this. Thank you EMA for the great experience
The staff and coaches have been super welcoming and friendly since we inquired and have attended classes . My son had no prior experience , they were patient with him and worked with him . He’s always super excited to go to class. Facility is also well kept and clean . Lauren , Coach Josh and all the other coaches are amazing !
My son loves and looks forward to the little dragons class! Great coaches and environment plus they get some positive energy out.
My son joined EMA a few weeks ago and I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The coaches are amazing, each student gets attention to make sure they get the techniques right and I love that. No one is left out. If you’re looking for a kickboxing class for your kiddos I 100% recommend. I’m so happy my son has joined and look forward to seeing his progress.
Honestly, such a great gym. The coaches are professional and attentive. More so the just CARE! They learn every kid’s name and they are invested in their martial arts journey. We will be apart of this community for awhile.
We are very happy we put our oldest (4 y/o) in classes! The coaches are great and set clear expectations. My son loves it, and I cannot wait to watch him learn and grow here!
Absolutely love this place! My son (5yrs) has gone to six classes now and I have already seen a positive change in his confidence, disciple and overall attitude. We initially enrolled him because he has had some trouble with some students at his school and we wanted to help him feel more confident, but we have noticed such an improvement in his mood all around. Coach Josh and Coach Christian are amazing with the kids and really take their time with each one. If you’re thinking of enrolling, this is the place to go!!
Extreme Martial Arts has one of the best youth programs we have seen. After having been in other martial arts schools, our 9 year old is currently in the Jiu Jitzu class and loves every minute of it. The coaches and staff are top notch, and bring extreme energy and enthusiasm into every class every day.
Love this self defense class , it has truly helped my son with confidence a being more open to making new friendships and of course learning to defend himself ! Highly recommend!
We’ve only been members for a few weeks, but attending Extreme Martial Arts is one of the few activities our son thoroughly enjoys attending…with excitement! The whole team has been encouraging and exciting since day one! Thank you for offering such a wonderful jiu jitsu class!
Staff is friendly and very passionate about teaching their students. My daughter Sofia really enjoys the class.
Extreme martial arts is amazing! Started training a few months ago and it has become a second home. The staff and atmosphere can’t be beat!
The coaches and staff here have always made me feel welcome. To me, it’s more than a gym, it feels like a family. This is a very kind and caring community to be a part of. The coaches are very passionate about what they do, they take their time to reach out and check in with you
Such a great atmosphere. Kids have been going here for 2 years. They have improved personally and physically from the coaches instruction. I highly recommend this location for the whole family. The Webb Family
Great program all the coaches due a great job working with my son Caleb.
My son Caleb has only been part of this amazing team since January but quickly felt the warmth and care from all the coaches and staff. I could write a book to explain but trying to keep this short. When my son turned 6, chief even took the time to stop in to chat with my little guy even though he is busy. The dedication, patience, and energy here is amazing. If your kiddo isn’t enrolled yet, you may want to check it out. You will not be disappointed. All the staff deserve more than 5 stars.
I have been so impressed with Extreme Martial Arts! My son’s confidence has increased so much along with having an outlet for his abundant energy!! The coaches are VERY attentive to each kiddo and their needs. They invest so much in them and celebrate when they succeed! I can’t imagine a better place!
EMA is a solid mixed martial arts gym for all ages. My son has been active in the Little Ninja Kickboxing class for over a year now and has gone through training in the following stances: Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing, Karate, Dutch Kickboxing. To see my son grow from a shy young boy to a leader on the mats by understanding how to focus, leading by example, never giving up and his eagerness to learn have set a strong foundation for him as he grows older and more in tune with being a role model for newer students. The coaches at EMA are amazing, they have a great hands on approach, willing to work with all skill levels in their students, communicative with parents, adult teammates, coaches and staff. I highly recommend EMA for anyone looking to put their young one in a team environment where you can watch them grow in confidence, communication, endurance and of course MIXED MARTIAL ARTS!!
Our son, Weston G., has been part of the Little Ninja class at EMA for just over a year now. Before joining, he was quite shy, but it didn't take long for him to gain tremendous confidence. Within just a few weeks, his self-esteem soared. He has developed a passion for kickboxing and is eagerly looking forward to his future in martial arts.
Extreme Martial Arts has been fantastic for our boys. Coach Mace, Coach Josh, Lauren, and Chief Poole have been great to work with and even put on a self defense class for the Crisis Center, which is near and dear to my heart. Our boys really enjoy coming here; they learn respect, discipline, and have fun at the same time. Thank you so much for being a great addition to our community! 😁
Absolutely love this place. My son loves it and the teachers are consistent and very good with the kids. Reasonably priced as well!
We love Extreme Martial Arts! My son has been attending the Jiu-Jitsu class for a few months now and we couldn’t be happier. My 9 year old loves going to class and the coaches seem to truly be invested and care for the kids. The office staff is so incredibly kind and helpful. All in all we have had a great experience and look forward to my son going for years to come.
We’ve been bringing our son here for the last few months and we have loved watching his confidence grow. Coach Josh is an amazing coach and can explain techniques and great overall values to the kids so effectively! Highly recommend Extreme Martial Arts!
The coaches here really do engage with the kids, and they always make sure the parents are in the know. I would definitely recommend more families to sign their children up.
I have been training here for over a year and have had a great experience at Extreme martial arts! All of the coaches I have worked with are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, supportive and help you work towards your individual goals. They do an amazing job fostering a positive and safe environment to train in. I love how they rotate the kickboxing curriculum, so I always feel like I am learning something new and being challenged to grow. The gym is also very clean!
Ema has been great , definitely working my son Elijah out of his shell . I love how much patience all the coaches have with him as he navigates through kickboxing !
Great spot! It’s the highlight on my day every-time I go there. Once you join you’re not going to want to stop training.
My boy and i had a life experience; i needed to build his confidence. It takes a village to help raise a child. We found his village. Thank you guys.
EMA is an excellent place for young boys to learn self-discipline and life skills. My boys love the kickboxing classes and are always eager to interact with the coaches. We love EMA! It’s one of the best decisions we’ve made for our boys.
I’ve been with Extreme for quite some time now and I enjoy the way they always try to work towards progression in regards to their curriculums vs just showing the same stuff without adding anything at all to it. They also take personal interest in the people that show up instead of being just another random person there to workout. Truly a family environment. Y’all rock! #1!
This gym is absolutely fantastic. Two of my boys go here and I have seen them grow in so many ways. The coaches are wonderful and truly give the students the one on one attention that sets this gym well above others for me. I go here myself for the adult kickboxing classes and the staff goes out of their way to make everyone feel confident/comfortable. I look forward to continuing our family journey here! Cannot recommend this place enough!
Absolutely competent trainers, making it easy for everyone to get started. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, the courses are absolutely fantastic and there's something for everyone. Highly recommended!
I got to train here for a couple weeks while here for work. The coaches are great and very personable. This gym made me not want to leave New Braunfels. Hopefully I get sent back here for work again!
We started taking our son to EMA almost 2 yrs ago, and it has been incredible! The coaches are amazing and genuinely care for the kids that they train! The facility is clean and the coaches really make everyone feel welcome! We are so happy to be a part of their program and our son enjoys and looks forward to going to every class! It has been a real confidence booster for him. I would whole heartedly recommend EMA to any family looking at starting their kids in martial arts
Such a great place! It helped my daughter self confidence 100% love the coaches and the whole environment and discipline! Totally recommended!
I was initially prompted to sign up with EMA by my son who wanted to switch Dojos to one that taught "more fighting and less dancing." I had absolutely no previous martial arts experience, and was a little intimidated starting out, but immediately I started really enjoying the workouts while learning a new sport/art. After a couple of months my son no longer wanted to continue, as it was a harder physical workout than he was used to in his previous experience doing karate, and he's not all that good at doing hard things. I, on the other hand, had lost 11 lbs and was having a blast, and I continue to go at least a couple of times a week for over a year now. Each of the coaches bring a different strength to a class, and are great about ensuring the safety of students during partner drills and sparring.
Awesome dojo! The coaches are truly remarkable people, they lend you their knowledge as well as their tenacity! Furthermore, It is amazing to see people of all backgrounds, sizes and ages come together to make being on the mat that much more fun.
Great coaches! Really push my kid to be the best and do his best in practice, life, school. We really look forward to class days and reap the reward of hard work paying off when EJ advances his belts. Coach Macy specifically is so great with the kiddos-she knows when to push them hard and when to show extra care. Thanks Extreme Team for providing a safe and fun environment for these kids.
This is the best Martial Art School in New Braunfels. Not only are the instructors teaching realistic fighting skill. They are teaching Respect, Discipline, Set Example, Caring, and things are not giving, but Earn. They have some of the best Instructors. You won't be disappointed.
We signed our son up for kickboxing a few weeks ago and he’s loving it! We have been really impressed with the facility and the coaches. They have so much knowledge to share and patience with the kids! We highly recommend!
We have our son enrolled. I was excited to get my son enrolled as I was involved with martial arts as a kid and loved it. My son loves the experience and The environment and coaches are awesome. I very much appreciate the occasional little life lessons as well for the little ninjas. We will definitely be life members
I found Extreme Martial Arts about a year ago when we enrolled my 5 y/o granddaughter to join their basic ninjas class and since then has moved up to advanced ninjas. We have absolutely loved this martial arts dojo. The owner and staff are great with the kids, they teach focus, respect and humility. They also encourage strict awareness to partner safety during drills and sparring. Lastly, they provide a fun environment to maintain engagement and learning.
We started w/ EMA almost 2 yrs ago, and it has been the BEST experience! The coaches are not only amazing in martial arts but really care for the kids that they train! The facility is clean and the coaches really make everyone feel welcome like family! We LOVE being a part of their program and finally found something that our son enjoys and looks forward to! BEST DECISION EVER for our son, and we can't wait to start our daughter in a few years when she's old enough! Thank you EMA for being simply the best!
I recently joined this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym and it has exceeded my expectations! The instructors are highly skilled and dedicated, providing personalized attention to each student. The facility is top-notch, clean, and spacious. The training sessions are intense yet fun, fostering a supportive and friendly environment. Highly recommended!
Hands down best Martial Arts Academy in the area. Respectful training community, dedicated staff, clean environment, broad range of disciplines, and ethically sound. If you don’t believe me, come on in. First class is free anyway!
EMA has been phenomenal for my family. My oldest son (8) has been training in BJJ since August, and my youngest son (3) and myself started in April. Chief Poole teaches and leads with respect first which trickles down to the rest of the coaching staff and students. He has helped instill confidence in both my sons that they didn’t have prior to joining. The gym is a safe space to learn, and all of the coaches are patient and thorough when providing feedback. I couldn’t recommend EMA enough for anyone wanting to start their martial arts journey!
My son Oliver has been going to EMA for almost a month and he loves everything about it. Every time he runs to me during a water break he has a huge smile on his face, when we leave his class he's bouncing from pride and all the fun he had. The coaches are amazing, patient and speak to the kids in a mature but understandable way. 100% recommend to everyone!
This gym is a great place to learn Brazilian Jujitsu. Super fun super easy going. Great vibe all around. me and my family have been training here for over 4 years and this place is amazing.
I’ve been training in adult kickboxing classes at EMA for about 7 months now and couldn’t be happier with my experience. The staff are always helpful and considerate of each person in the building. They take pride in maintaining an organized, clean gym and helping each individual grow. The curriculum is thorough and has a clear path to progress. My favorite part is the feedback. The coaches are always open to questions and proactively engage in giving constructive tips to help each student achieve their individual goals. Recently, I decided to attend sparring for the first time. After I was out of the gym for the day, my coach for that session took time to write down some notes for feedback and shared them with me before the next class the following week to help me improve next time. I think that attention to detail is a great example of why my experience has been stellar and I plan to train here for the foreseeable future.
Great environment. Perfect place to train regardless of the level you’re at. Very family friendly, classes for all ages, instructors are super positive, patient, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend.
Extreme is a wonderful place to work out with a loving , positive and respectful atmosphere. The coaching staff here is very polite and welcoming. They are all very talented and Chief Poole is an incredible martial artist. It is a great place to roll where they focus on keeping people safe and helping to better each other as people and martial artists. I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone who asks me about BJJ interests. I hope you check it out. I'll see you then.
Amazing coaches and dojo! My daughter has been in BJJ for over 2 years and loves it. She continues to improve in her skills with encouragement from the coaches and they are always patient, kind, and understanding. They’re very accommodating and communicative with us as parents in how our child can succeed and be the best she can be. Love Extreme Martial Arts!
I came to Extreme Martial Arts to learn BJJ 🥋 but I ended up getting a true extension of my own personal family. The coaches really care and track your progress there's a family dojo vibe I absolutely love. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new challenge and great community
This place deserves more than 5 stars. The moment I called I spoke to Josh and he set me up with a free kickboxing and jujitsu class. I came in for class not knowing what to expect. I was greeted by josh when I arrived. He and coach Macie were so awesome in my first kick boxing class and they continue to really give good feedback during class. I then tried the jujitsu class where I met coach Garrett and Chief. These guys have been so patient with me and have answered any questions I have had. The entire gym as a whole has been awesome including others that are members. Very family friendly. This place is also super clean. Try out a class I promise you won’t regret it.
Place is cleaned pretty regularly. Has a Variety of programs for various age groups. The coaches are personal and courteous. I can see this place becoming a stand alone building like the trampoline places. God speed to the owners and their Awesome team of employees (hired family, lol). They work well and vibe together, that means it's a great work environment and that is a success all it's own. Be sure to stop by suite 507 to try out a FREE martial arts class (they rotate types this month is Muay Thai). Rates are reasonable for unlimited monthly access to a variety of classes. Go check them out You will be pleasantly surprised!! Stay safe and blessed.
I'm approaching 6 months of kickboxing training with Extreme Martial Arts. I love it. When I came to them in February I was looking for an outlet for a lot of stress and emotional turmoil. They have been great coaches and motivators for me I love walking in the studio. Instantly the stress of the day rolls off me as I step on the mat knowing how rewarding the workout will be. I'm not in the best shape as I've gotten into my 30s, but they push me to do what I can plus one. I have been getting better every week. I highly recommend it you are looking for a community and a great workout.
I have my 5 kiddos enrolled in kickboxing. Then just today I added two more kiddos just for the remainder of this month. This is an amazing place! The coaches are professional, patient, passionate and really good at what they teach. They are great with all my kiddos and every age group that I have seen. They keep the students engaged and make it interesting and fun. I have noticed a dramatic positive change in all my kiddos in some way shape or form since we began and I love it. I also highly recommend the free self defense class for all ages taught by Chief Poole on Wednesday nights. He is very passionate about the need to know and practice self defense. Highly recommend!
I have 7 children currently enrolled in Kickboxing and Self Defense classes with Extreme. The attention the provide to our children is second to none. I love seeing the level of focus they have learned and the desire to do everything as well as they can. The instructors are all respectful and treat their students as they should be treated. I highly recommend this facility to anyone, young or old, who is looking to up their game and learn the discipline that only Martial Arts can teach.
Extreme Martial Arts is a great place to get fit and learn. The kickboxing classes are challenging and fun, and you always get an amazing workout. Macy works us hard and whips us into shape with a smile. Anthony and Garrett teach us great technique, and Chief Pool provides wisdom and life lessons after each session. My son and I are going together. It's a wonderful way for the whole family to get in shape and bond. I especially like the self-defense classes. You never know when you will need these techniques but it's a liberating feeling to be prepared.
My daughter does the after school program and has gymnastics there 3 days a week. I love the communication Coach Ally has with me every time I pick up my daughter. They have great structure there and employees that all go out of their way. We enjoy it there!
I've been a customer since 2015 (5 years) and I still love this place. It has been nice to find a form of exercise that keeps me challenged and interested. Far too often I tried regular gyms or home workouts only to lose interest and drop out. The instructors are patient and skilled. They not only teach the craft, but respect for others and yourself. Every month there are new inspirational lessons and/or challenges on the virtues, health, diet, and determination.
I wish I would of joined this Gym SOONER! This place is awesome! They are not only professional when it comes to their hand to hand combat, but the environment they create is welcoming and friendly. Their coaches are very well trained and knowledgeable. This gym has not only boosted my personal confidence in myself but my confidence in a real life situations dealing with people. I HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone, from beginners to someone who wants to compete and take their game to the next level. Come join and I’ll see you on the mat. 🥊🥋
Whether you're looking to get into kickboxing, learn self defense or just looking for a good workout, this is definitely the place! Very fun & friendly environment, with a great group of instructors who are very encouraging and really take the time to teach you and help you improve. I've only been enrolled for a couple of months now and I absolutely love it!
I love this place! My girls have been coming here for one month and I have seen a difference in my children. My ten year old is loving the complexity of the jujitsu moves and is enjoying the workout. My youngest, 6 yrs old, is getting her energy out and is learning a whole new level of respect and obedience. Mr. Stacy, their teacher, is amazing!!! He really has a heart for teaching and pouring into the next generation. My children take the homeschooling class, so as of right now they are the only ones in it. Plenty of room to join. But if you are looking for a place for your kids to meet others I hear that the after school classes are nice a big and have room as well.
Our whole family loves this place. We are beginners but go to EMA as a family - both parents, a 10 year old girl and a 6 & 4 year old boy. The staff are so friendly, supportive, encouraging and make such a concerted effort to greet you, learn your name and help you grow into a better person! This is a super place children to learn self-control, discipline, and of course self-defense. Chief Poole has trained his staff well and I know the advanced martial arts students really respect his instruction. Chief Poole also keeps a theme going for each month to teach important character principles. This month it's Integrity. We can't have enough of this kind of instruction in this day and age. Highly recommended!
I have been with Extreme Martial Arts for 2 years now, the experience has been life changing. All the instructors are so encouraging and so patient. I have not only improved physically, I have improved mentally, Chief Poole is not just an instructor to his students, he is a mentor. He has taught me so many things that will help me beyond martial arts. Thank you Chief for everything you have done for me, I appreciate it so much.
My 3 daughters have been going here for over a year now. This place is amazing! If you want your kids to have a great learning experience, while learning about discipline, self-respect, respect for others, and self-defense, this is the place to be. If you are looking for a place to have an amazing workout for yourself, this is definitely a great place to break a sweat, burn some calories, and burn some frustration from the work day.
Trained at this facility for a little over a year in college, but when i moved i had to separate. I had such a good time that when i moved back closer I made a 35 min commute to come to this Gym over others. Moved to San Antonio and no longer had the time to go because of work so i canceled my membership. Well at least i though I did, If you become a member of there online program when you cancel the in person membership they don't cancel the online one. Couple of days ago i saw the charge so investigated and realized I have been getting charged for over 2 years now costing around $480. Reached out to company and the said we will waive the 30 day cancelation fee but with regards to your money we cant give it back because its going towards our new facility. Very Miss leading to customers that when you cancel, you don't cancel the entire membership only part. Will seek out other gyms when I decide to start training BJJ again!
