I have practiced martial arts for over 30 years. Martial arts is the world I grew up in. I am a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and have practice BJJ with Lone Star and various other gyms. I have trained with and competed against students from a large number of gyms. All this to say that I have the experience to recognize quality training. My children and I have had a great experience with Lone Star. LSMMA teaches real world self defense martial arts. While competing in tournaments is fun, training to defend yourself is invaluable!
I have no reservations about recommending LSMMA to anyone. I have on multiple occasions.
Relson Gracie would not allow his name to be attached to a gym that provides poor quality training.
