We had such a great experience talking with Joe at The Garden Martial Arts! He was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and genuinely took the time to understand what we were looking for for our girls. We really appreciated how friendly and informative he was, and we’re excited to get the girls started! 🥋💪🏻💕🔥

For the past 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of knowing Justin Reiswerg, and his reputation as one of the best instructors in Houston is well deserved.If you’re looking for a program that challenges you, builds discipline, and keeps you engaged, I can’t think of a better instructor. Under Justin’s instruction, you’ll take your grappling to a whole new level. His wealth of knowledge and ability to teach in a way that’s easy to understand make him an exceptional coach.It’s been years since I last trained with him, but some of the greatest lessons I’ve learned came under his guidance. I highly recommend Justin to anyone serious about improving their grappling and themselves.

I have had the pleasure of training with Justin for over the last decade. He is one of the finest coaches in the city; always developing and honing his craft.

Coach Justin has an abundance of knowledge. And, is an all around great human being.

Coach Justin was my coach at a previous gym for several years. He developed me into the person I am today. He teaches great discipline, how to be kind to others, as well as giving yourself confidence to do things. This is a great gym for kids and adults to learn mixed martial arts

Coach Justin is the benchmark for me when it comes to not only martial arts, but coaching, period. I was lucky to have him as my first coach, which was almost a detriment since every time I train at a different gym I'm looking for his style as my standard. He's excellent at giving you the insight that you need to improve whatever you're working on, makes sure you understand what he's communicating before moving on, and knows when to give you a push to overcome your limits. Lots to learn from him. If you have kids, get them under Coach Justin asap. If you're an adult, never too late to learn.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’ve been training with Justin Reiswerg for years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His technical knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is outstanding, and his attention to proper technique, form, and fundamentals is second to none. He’s not only an exceptional practitioner, but also an excellent instructor who knows how to break down complex techniques so they make sense.What really sets Justin apart is his ability to teach students of all ages and skill levels. He’s incredibly patient with kids while also challenging adults to improve every time they step on the mats. He creates a positive, respectful training environment where everyone feels welcome and motivated to get better.Whether you’re brand new to Jiu-Jitsu or an experienced grappler looking to sharpen your skills, Justin is the kind of coach you want in your corner. Training with him has made me a much better martial artist, and I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned over the years.

I had the privilege of working with Coach Justin for about three years. During that time I saw not only how skilled and technical he is, but more than that I saw how gifted he is as a coach. His dedication to help every student Improve is truly inspiring. It’s not always easy to find a coach that truly cares about all of their students wholeheartedly the way coach Justin does. Without his guidance I would not be the person I am today. Any family that gets the opportunity to learn and grow under his guidance is truly lucky. I am beyond positive that The Garden will become an environment dedicated to the overall growth of every student both on and off the mat.

I have known coach Justin for 15 years, I can honestly say he is one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuine people you’ll ever meet. His passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is evident in everything he does, and his ability to teach athletes of all skill levels is truly exceptional. He genuinely cares about his students both on and off the mats and leads by example with integrity, and respect. If you’re looking for a coach who will help you grow not only as a martial artist but also as a person, I can’t recommend Coach Justin highly enough.

My son and I trained under coach Justin for around 3 years and I can’t speak highly enough about our experience. Justin is talented not only as a martial artist but as a teacher. His passion for explaining technique and problem-solving approaches is inspiring and is one of the main reasons I committed seriously to training. His coaching style and approach to discipline is also highly effective with kids and my son is looking forward to training under him again at the Garden.

My son, Brody, started training in jiu-jitsu with Coach Justin when he was just 5 years old. From the very beginning, Justin has had an incredible impact on his life not only by teaching him the sport, but by helping him develop discipline, confidence, respect, and a strong work ethic.What makes Coach Justin stand out is that he’s lived what he teaches. He has competed at a high level and brings that experience and knowledge into every class. His coaching is authentic, and he genuinely cares about helping every student reach their full potential.Justin has always gone above and beyond for Brody and I. There were times when I was working late or out of town, and he would volunteer to pick Brody up from school for me so he wouldn’t miss practice. That kind of dedication and investment in his students is hard to find.Over the years, Brody has won multiple jiu jitsu championships under Justin’s guidance, but more importantly, he has grown into a confident, respectful young man. Now at 17 years old, they still train together, and Justin continues to be a trusted mentor and positive influence. Their relationship extends beyond the gym, which speaks volumes about the character and community Justin has built.If you’re looking for a gym with outstanding instruction, a welcoming atmosphere, and a coach who truly cares about his students, I can’t recommend Coach Justin and The Garden highly enough. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced competitor, you’ll be in great hands.

Coach Justin is an exceptional jiu-jitsu instructor and an even better person. His knowledge of the sport is deep, but what truly distinguishes him is his ability to understand each student as an individual. He has a remarkable eye for detail and knows how to make small, precise adjustments that can completely transform someone’s technique.As someone training over the age of 50 while balancing a demanding career, I especially appreciate Justin’s thoughtful approach. He pushes me to improve while remaining attentive to injury prevention, recovery, and long-term development. His coaching is challenging without being reckless, technical without being overwhelming, and always encouraging.Justin creates an environment where beginners feel welcome and experienced practitioners continue to grow. He teaches with patience, humility, discipline, and genuine enthusiasm for his students’ success. His new gym is not simply a place to learn jiu-jitsu—it is a place to build confidence, resilience, composure, and community.I cannot recommend Coach Justin highly enough. Anyone who has the opportunity to train with him will quickly realize they have found a truly outstanding coach.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Justin for almost 20 years. I have seen him grow from a hungry young fighter, to a mature husband and father. As a matchmaker and announcer, I had the opportunity to watch his fights from the best seat in the house and I was always a fan of his warrior spirit. Justin is a true martial artist. I highly recommend any parent to take their children to learn from him and see the difference it will make in their lives.

Ever since we found out The Garden was opening, my family has been excited to join Coach Justin after our previous experience with him. I've been training in Martial Arts on and off for the last 45 years and there are few instructors I trust the way I I trust Justin. His commitment to the art and the education of his students is consistent with the highest professional standards. His passion for teaching students of all ages can only be matched by his thirst for knowledge to provide the best training experience possible. If The Garden Martial Arts Academy is anything like the value of knowledge and expertise he brings, be prepared to have your mind blown. Me and my three daughters can't wait to get started 👊🏾🥋👑
