Mixed Martial Arts Houston
Mixed martial Arts is growing at an unstoppable rate. Fighters are faster, stronger and more technical than ever. Here at Team Tooke we are dedicated to building top notch athletes and champion fighters. That's why fighters from the UFC, Pride, Bodog and many other elite organizations have come to train with us. Hear what UFC and Pride fighting veteran Yves Edwards has to say about trainng at Team Tooke at the bottom of the page.  If you want to become an MMA champion, you have come to the right place. We offer a no-nonsense, hands on approach to Mixed Martial Arts by combining the best of both worlds. I'm talking about striking and grappling. Which, bottom line, if you can't fight standing up and on the ground, then you can't really fight effectively. Our striking class is a far cry from traditional kickboxing programs because we incorporate realistic, effective Muay Thai kickboxing with proven self defense tactics. In addition, we offer the finest Brazilian Jiu-jitsu program you will find anywhere in Texas consisting of classes with and without the gi(uniform). And if that wasn't enough our Judo program is second to none and will complement any fighters game.  Choose your academy wisely Be careful. There are several "Mixed Martial Arts" schools out there that claim to train MMA fighters, but they're really just commercialized Martial Arts schools with a so-called grappling program. With the rise in popularity of MMA, these "McDojo's" are popping up all over the place. Make sure you don't end up training with someone who is not qualified to give the kind of training you deserve. All of our instructors will give you personal attention and spend the class actively teaching and helping you to become your best. We want to see you succeed and will be there to make sure to have the best experience possible. Do I need to be a fighter to train in Mixed Martial Arts? Not everyone wants to be an MMA Fighter. We know that many of you may want to train like a fighter without actually getting into the cage. There are endless reasons why you may want to train that have nothing to do with competing and we understand completely. You may want to develop phenomenal physical fitness, learn how to realistically defend yourself, experience the atmosphere of trainnig like a pro. At Definitive Martial Arts you don’t have to become a fighter to enjoy the benefits of training like one.  Travis & Yves
Edwards with American Top Team
Work out with a purpose Tired of going to the gym? Sick of the same routine? Most exercise programs are fun at first but soon get stale because they are, simply put, dull. I can guarantee you will never get bored with our workouts and classes because they are never the same. You are always learning new skills and techniques while still focusing on your core, fundamental basics. You can get in the best shape of your life while also improving your skill as a martial artist. Try finding the same motivation on any treadmill or elyptical machine. "For a long time I thought Jiu-jitsu was something that I didn't really need to focus on for my MMA career. I had fought several good BJJ black belts in my fights and because they couldn't submit me I felt my ground game was good enough. That was before I met Travis Tooke. His style of teaching and training has opened my eyes to the effectiveness of BJJ in mixed martial arts. His approach is very different than most Jiu-jitsu instructors because he focuses on everyone's individual goals. He trains my grappling specifically for MMA. My ground game as well as my confidence on the ground has improved more over the last 2 years than in all years prior thanks to Team Tooke". Yves Edwards UFC Veteran Pride Fighting Veteran
