I have just recently found this place and when i walk in the door i felt welcome "Joe Morris leads an all-star team of the best of the best martial arts instructors that know how to teach from beginner to expert level. Condition 1 Combat is bound to become the very best martial arts gym in Texas if not the US." "If you live in Houston and are interested in self-defense or fight training, you need to do yourself a favor and come visit them in Spring, TX. Joe Morris has assembled a top-tier coaching staff with a variety of backgrounds to offer students the very best in training. The facility is immaculate and the training equipment is top-notch." “Condition 1 Combat Center is a practical system that can be used in everyday life. The head instructor/founder Joe Morris always makes sure you leave a session prepared, fatigued, and wanting more. I can't wait to go If you are looking for a training facility that will get you prepared for everyday combat situations on the streets then this is your place. This is a“Great place to learn self-defense and fighting techniques you can use in the real world. Joe, the head instructor is top-notch when it comes to taking the time to work with students and is always ready to help push you to the next level. Knowing how to defend yourself and your loved ones, if needed and getting into great shape at the same time, ” i highly recommend this place. There is a different between training under a veteran and some person with a gi and a black belt One thing about this place is that they put PEOPLE OVER PROFIT. and that is a win for me..

Coach Joe and Tia are great! My son (10) takes the Jr. Class, and has gained so much. He is not only more active but more helpful around the house and engaged with our family. Coach Joe really takes the time to get to know his students and supports them in his gym and in life.

Wonderful! Mr Moris (owner) is very nice and energetic. The kid's classes are super fun! Everyone there is super nice and they are very good at teaching! Some guy who hasn't come to the place has put a one star review for no reason at all. Just wanted to clear that up. Great job Mr Morris

This place is awesome! My father in law was the first to go, then my husband, now my 6 year old son. I am so thankful for everyone we have met here thus far! So far my son has only gone for a couple of weeks and can already show us how he can escape his father’s grip (dad is 6’5 over 200lbs). Do you know the amount of weight that lifts off of a mama’s heart to know he may be able to escape a threat? With the world being the way that it is, we need our kids (adults too) to know the valuable information being taught here. It’s no exaggeration when I say they are doing the Lord’s work at this gym. Not only does he learn physical techniques, but also life lessons and mental strength. I am so encouraged to bring my son here to be surrounded by so many strong and good examples of both men and women who really care about people.

I trained with Joe and Tia for many years in the past and was beyond excited to hear that they were going to open up their own school. I signed my son up the second I heard about their kids program and that they were taking on new members. Within the first 5 minutes of taking him to his first class I was all in and decided to sign up everyone in my family. Would definitely recommend anyone with a family to do the same. Both owners have picked up a step or two since I've trained with them last and it shows in their love and passion for this school. The instructors that they have brought on are extremely knowledgeable, personable, and make it a great environment to learn in. The instructors coming up that I have worked with are just as much in the same category, and all are doing a great job with newbies and old pros coming back. So if you (or anyone) are looking for a new challenge, self defense, multi-discipline martial arts, or a great work out...this is the place to be.

We had such a wonderful experience at Boho House, thanks to Patricia! She was so kind, welcoming, and went out of her way to make our visit special. She even took a great photo of me and my girls, which made the moment even more memorable. The food was phenomenal—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The drinks were amazing too, crafted with so much care. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Patricia, for making our night so special!
