"With over 10 years experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I have competed and trained with the best all over the world. During that time I have had the pleasure to hang out and train with Travis Tooke. Travis excelled as a competitor and nothing has changed since he has become an instructor. He is dedicated to producing quality martial artists and his students are a testament to this. You won't find a better Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Houston!!" Rafael Lovato Jr. 
"I would recommend Travis Tooke Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or Mixed Martial Arts. I trained very hard with Travis for a couple of years when I was a brown belt, during this time my game increased so quickly and so dynamically that I was promoted to the rank of Blackbelt in the Carlson Gracie system with only 6 years of training. I attribute a large part of my success in MMA and BJJ directly to my training with Travis Tooke. Although Travis is very young he has a masters ability to explain and detail techniques that instantly become apart of your game. If anyone has the opportunity to train and learn from Travis Tooke take my advice, do yourself a favor and don't miss it. Thanks again Travis for all of your help and I will see you on the mats soon." "Crazy" Tim Credeur -Pride Of Texas- 
Posso resumir o Travis em 3 palavras determinacao, amizade e objetivo! Lembro me quando voce chegou ao Brasil dizendo que so voltaria para os eua depois que voce fosse faixa preta e foi exatamente oque aconteceu! Em treinos duros todos os dias voce evoluiu muito rapido e aprendeu o verdadeiro Jiu jitsu Brasileiro e hoje em dia tenho certeza que e um exelente professor, ja estudamos muito o Jiu jitsu juntos e tenho certeza que esse e o caminho para evolucao nao so dentro do jiu jitsu mas como um ser! Travis amizade,determinacao,e objetivo! Lucio "Lagarto" Rodrigues
"As a competitor I grew up watching Travis Tooke saw through the competition like a surgeon on the operating table. As a coach he showed the same passion and drive every time he taught. He always stressed their importance of perfecting a technique and making it your own before moving on to another move. That's what makes him a great coach and anyone fortunate enough to learn from him should take full advantage of both his grappling expertise and his ability to bring out the best in anyone." Marcus "The Wrecking Ball" Hicks 
"To any and all who are considering training with Travis Tooke…Travis is a disciplined athlete and talented teacher. His technical knowledge and physical abilities earned him the rank of black belt, in Brazil, under Master Carlos Gracie Jr. Travis never ceased to impress me during our training sessions at Gracie Barra in Rio and I would be glad to have him in my corner any day. Whether it's training for a hobby or to compete professionally, Travis is a valuable coach for anyone." Dennis A. Asche "Over the four years of me living and training in Brazil I met many foreigners and none showed the discipline, dedication or determination that Travis displayed while training at Gracie Barra. Travis and I shared many good times on the mats training and competing together during our time as Brown Belts in Brazil and I can attest to the fact that his Jiu Jitsu is as authentic as it gets as is his personality and professionalism. I would highly recommend Travis as a teacher, a training partner and a friend."

Robert Strane "After spending a year training with Travis in Brazil and having regular private lessons, I would highly recommend not only training with him but also private tuition if you are serious about your Jiu Jitsu. Due to clear explanations and an in depth knowledge he has helped my Jiu Jitsu significantly. Sometimes correcting basic techniques and other times looking at more complex positions and strategies. It was also reassuring watching him use the same techniques that he teaches to win both his fights in the Brazilian National Team Championships against black belts when he was still a brown belt. " Steve Campbell 
"My personal experience with Travis is that he is one of the best teachers that I have worked with. I know that he has always tried to help me if I had a question. I have to say that he has the best set ups to reversals that I’ve ever seen. If you have a question about reversals or anything on the ground, he is definitely the guy to ask!" Drake Dudley-NAGA Worlds Kids Champion
"I have been training jiu-jitsu for over six years and the training I receive at Definitive Martial Arts has undoubtedly pushed my skill level to an all time high. D.M.A. is in a class of its own. A far cry from traditional martial arts, here you learn grappling and self defense in its most technical form. Much respect for coach Travis Tooke and everyone at Definitive Martial Arts. Keep it coming!!!" Jayhson Rodgers
"I have trained with Travis Tooke for over two years now. After looking at other martial arts schools, I feel that his instruction is probably the best that Houston has to offer. His attention to detail is unlike any instructor I've trained with. Travis understands different body types and will help you progress by leaps and bounds faster than you could anywhere else. The classroom is dedicated to hard training. Be prepared to sweat, but the reward is justified in knowing that the training you receive will take your skills to the next level. Definitive Martial Arts has a great group of guys that are here to help you every step of the way. In a nutshell...AWESOME EXPERIENCE." David Sowell
"As a law enforcement officer it is important to be prepared for a physical confrontation. My preparation starts with Travis Tooke. At Definitive Martial Arts we train hard, but safe and we are constantly learning more. I have trained grappling with other instructors and it is apparent that Travis is a gifted instructor and practitioner. His attention to detail is unmatched and the training environment is very positive. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, Travis can definitely improve your game." Don Mouser
