From the reviews
If you are looking for a professional team with well structured classes then look no further. The team is great with adults and kids of all ages. My entire family of 5, my wife and 3 kids, trains with Ohana.
The best jiu jitsu academy in Texas is opening in Alamo Ranch! The coaching staff at Ohana Academy is head and shoulders above any other martial arts program. Coach Jesse and Coach Sean are amazing coaches for both kids and adults.
Love the coaches and atmosphere here! Coach Sean is the best and my 6 year old just loves coming to do jiu jitsu. Great role models here. Great workouts and lessons. Definitely recommend
Ohana has been an incredible outlet for my daughter since she joined eight months ago. She absolutely adores Coach Sean and Coach Jesse, along with all the other amazing coaches who help out—shoutout to Britney, Mark, Rachel, and Alec!
New to muay thai? Start at Ohana Academy WestWood
Ohana Academy WestWood comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Ohana Academy WestWood
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.
