Professor Markle comes from a great and respected lineage. Place is like my second home and they've become Ohana. It was hard to find a new place to start training again due to ever changing teams in Houston. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The team of instructors and different styles makes for a very unique style of BJJ. They have former wrestlers and Judo players so the additional instruction is superb. I'm glad to call this my home after being there for a year. More...

Professor Markle is an amazing instructor and an amazing dude. He knows his stuff, cares about all the minute details, and he is extremely patient with ALL of his levels of students. I've felt welcome since day one and it is one of several reasons why I keep coming back to train. The types and quality of coaches that help out with instruction is second to none as well. Coach Chris, Coach Scott, and Coach James F. are all great and supportive coaches as well. If you're looking for a place to train or are just curious about BJJ I highly recommend Markle BJJ. You will be remissed if you don't check it out! More...

Learning BJJ under coach Markle has been an awesome experience. We have the whole family attending his classes, my young ones love it! They learn while playing. The adult classes are also great, get a good workout while learning to defend your self. Coach Markle is legit, he keeps putting what he teaches to the test as he continues to compete in tournaments. I highly recommend his classes. More...

Professor Markle is an amazing coach who believes in one important thing.... attention to detail. Having been under 3 different coaches, I have to say he is the one of the most detail oriented I have had the pleasure of meeting, and his refinement of techniques has led to a definitive rise in my mastery of Jiu Jitsu. 5 Stars

Prior to training with Kru Agrimar trained in Muay Thai for 13 yrs. Kru Agrimar is the BEST.....Taken my Muay Thai to another level, StreetWise, RingWise, and ConditioningWise.
Kru Agrimar "Cyborguinho", is an Awesome Fighter and Teacher. Want some Muay Thai Street-Self Defense, want to Spar/Compete, or just want to get a Chute Boxe Hardcore Workout, get with him, Professor Lucas, and the Great Staff at Gold Team MMA. They're the real deal....

I was training for fitness and self defense (Muy Thai) and when I actually found myself in a bad situation.
...I was able to defend myself. I am forever indebted to them for this!

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I start out by a basic fitness assessment and develop a program and individual goals to achieve them. Most of the training clients participate in is group based and cardio intense with strength and conditioning added. Most of my clients/students have lost 5-10% body weight/fat within 4-6 months and keep it off.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Find a program that is fun and makes you not watch the clock.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing the results my clients achieve makes me never want to miss a day there!
What inspired you to start your own business?
My previous trainer had to relocated and my team needed a new location to make things happen and the rest is history.
Why should our clients choose you?
My clients are like my family and it shows in our classes.
