From the reviews
This has to be the best fighting gym in all of Houston, you learn a ton for each lesson, and it is a great overall environment for all ages. It is a very family friendly place and it teaches the proper way to do mma, ju-jitsu, kickboxing, and many more.
Great kid’s program! Would recommend to help build foundational self defense and discipline. Coach Dom and team are dedicated to the art and shows care in what they do everyday.
This is a successful winning team right here. I am grateful for TXO Academy. They are an affiliate to American Combative Systems. The amount of support I get from both teams is overwhelming. The comradery is all there. TXO Academy is lead by the one and only Dominick “The Texas Outlaw” Perez.
Great place , 👌, my kids go every week and love it and have learned so much . Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to learn from a professional. Coach Dominick and his academy have exceeded my expectations with a friendly environment, friends , and teachings.
New to kickboxing? Start at TXO Academy
TXO Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at TXO Academy
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
