Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Sambo - Koulikov Grappling Academy - Martial arts school in Edinburg - 2001 W Trenton Rd Suite 104-105, USA

I will start by saying that this is an academy based on discipline and talent. Coach Lori, Coach Nick and Coach Vlad have extensive experience in what they do, they will always welcome you and make you feel part of the team, each one of the coaches take the right time to make your time with them worthwhile. The place stands out for its cleanliness. All equipment or devices that are used are always in good condition. They have the greatest patience in the world to teach the basics of jiujitsu to anyone, even with their program for 3-year-olds they are incredible. Excellent work done in this academy! Congrats!

Great gym for training. Coach Vlad and Coach Mike make it very welcoming and newcomer friendly as I joined their classes. Always respectful of limits but are able to motivate you to push boundaries for the better. From my last time there, you have 13 adult one hour long classes a week you can choose from with No Gi/Gi Jiu Jitsu to kickboxing! Very well worth the money. I plan on returning asap. Personal suggestion: definitely wish I had more cardio training before I enrolled so the initial first classes, very taxing if not fit but no regrets at all.

Vlad is a great instructor that loves his students like a family. He is a hardworking coach and competitor with grappling-arts knowledge that are second to none . I'm proud to call him my sensei and friend 🤙

Best BJJ and grappling academy. Very knowledgeable on all the grappling arts. Coach vlad is world class. The gym is impeccable. And everyone is really nice.

I came in as a humble guard puller and through Vlad’s instruction I am now a takedown machine. If you are in the RGV and looking for quality instruction then look no further. His grappling acumen is unparalleled. Vlad’s combination of bjj and Sambo have really brought my standup game to a whole new level while still incorporating techniques that are comfortable and secure on the ground. The gym has A1 facilities and the staff makes you feel like family since day 1. I’m glad to call Vlad my friend and mentor. Don’t think about it, just come and check out the open mat to see for yourself.

The other type of therapy. Give it a chance, take some classes, and you will drive home with life’s volume turned down. Learn what you can from Vlad and walk away with more certainty that you can protect yourself and your family if needed.

If you are looking for a welcoming Jiu Jitsu family, this is your place. The instructor is highly skilled and very knowledgeable. He teaches moves based on students' individual needs, and increases or decreases his intensity when rolling with students. The members there are equally welcoming to newcomers, and are excited to learn new techniques. The gym itself is large, and kept in pristine shape. I definitely recommend this gym if you are interested, and I'll see you on the mat!

Great gym! I'm visiting from out out town, and Coach Vlad welcomed me to drop in and try his nogi classes. He is highly knowledgeable, and he gave me a great workout, plus new skills. I'd definitely recommend training here!
