From the reviews
I was traveling from out of town this week and called Insight to see if I could get some mat time in between Brenham/La Grange before a tournament in a few months. Coach Peterson was incredibly accommodating. First impression was what a welcoming and friendly place to train, not to mention spotlessly clean.
I've been training with this organization for over a year with a focus on striking with boxing classes and private Muay Thai lessons. The environment is very supportive with serious workouts in the striking classes and technical instruction.
I’ve know Chad Petersen for years as a competitor and great guy, then he joined my team and I’ve been lucky enough to have him carry on my team name at his own schools. I truly believe that if you’re training anywhere else, you’re missing out on the best training and environment.
Chad is a great coach and really understands how to teach the finer points of techniques. He’s also a competitor and know how to coach for tournament success. I’m proud to have him represent Team Insight!
Your first BJJ class at Insight BJJ, Striking & MMA - Brenham, TX
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
