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. ~ Lidia A

Update since trying their new Crossfit program. If you’re searching for a new Crossfit experience, look no further than Condition One Combat Crossfit. Their team of skilled Crossfit coaches provide top-notch combat crossfit workouts tailored to your individual needs, all within a fun and encouraging environment. I’ve participated in over a dozen Crossfit classes at Conditon One, and each has left me feeling stronger and more able. I can’t recommend Combat Crossfit highly enough! This place is amazing! I leave every class feeling more confident in my own ability to protect myself if ever needed. The confidence has been great for my young daughter too who loves the striking classes. The coaches here take the time to get to know you and make you feel like family instead of just a student, they are all great teachers and great people. ~ Sarah W

This place literally changed my life. I'm 53 years old and had never done MMA or BJJ before. After 20+ years behind a desk, health issues started creeping in—until I walked through the doors here in December. Since then I've lost 40 pounds of body fat, gotten significantly stronger, and just earned my first BJJ stripe last Thursday. The moment I step inside, all the stress, work pressure, life drama—stays outside. The training is intense but welcoming. I train five days a week: no-gi Mondays, gi Tuesday/Thursday, boxing/kickboxing Wednesday, and BJJ/striking Saturday mornings. I'm here every chance I get. The people are incredible—friendly, encouraging, and genuinely supportive. They've become real friends. Whether you're 53 like me or just starting out, Condition 1 Combat is a safe, motivating place to grow, get stronger, and leave everything else behind. Highly recommend. 🥋" ~ L. R

My son trains here in both jiu-jitsu and striking, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches do an excellent job making kids feel comfortable while still challenging them to improve. Joe, the owner, is incredibly kind to everyone, but he teaches discipline in a fun and engaging way that really connects with the kids. He knows how to balance structure and humor, which makes a big difference. My son has learned so much since starting, not just techniques, but also discipline and confidence. We’ve seen a huge improvement in his skills, and most importantly, he genuinely enjoys going to class. He’s getting better every week and always leaves with a smile. Highly recommend. ~ Gabriel B

I’ve only been here for a whole week, and WOW!!!! Everyone is so kind, and wants nothing but for you to get better, super helpful and to stay safe. I’ve never felt so comfortable and welcomed. Literally my new family! That’s exactly what they are. Family. Not to mention family friendly! I can bring my kiddos and don’t need to worry about stares or glares if I need to step away for my kids. I love the multiple choice of martial arts, I feel it’s very important to learn more than one type due to never knowing what you might be getting yourself into. With this place you’ll always be prepared! They really do care for their students! Join this place! You won’t regret it! ~ Laura E

If you are looking for for a Martial Arts Academy in Spring, TX this is your spot the facility is clean, well-organized, and provides a welcoming environment for families. The instructors are top-notch, especially with the kids' program. My children loved learning practical self-defense techniques, and I could see their confidence growing with every class. The focus on discipline, safety, and fun is evident, and the staff is incredibly patient and encouraging. As a parent, I also appreciate the variety of services they offer, from self-defense and fitness to striking and Jiu-Jitsu. There's something for everyone here, regardless of age or skill level. If you're looking for a place that prioritizes real-world readiness while fostering a supportive community, Condition 1 Combat Center is the perfect choice. Highly recommend it for families! ~ Karel L

I’ve been training at Condition 1 Combat Center since May 2024, and it’s been an incredible experience. It means a lot to me that this gym is owned and operated by a fellow Marine veteran. You can feel the discipline, camaraderie, and dedication that come with that background in every class and interaction. The instructors are great, they all have technical expertise and a passion for teaching. The classes are structured to help everyone grow, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. Since joining, I’ve seen real progress in my technique, fitness, and overall happiness. The gym also has a great community—everyone is welcoming and supportive, and it truly feels like a team effort to help each other improve. If you’re looking for a gym that embodies the values of hard work, respect, and perseverance, Condition 1 Combat Center is the place to be. 🤙🏼 ~ Skyler H

I tried my first class free yesterday with Combat and I was hooked. I signed up right after the class and stayed to watch Striking. Today I took the Condition and JuJitsu classes and have already learned a triangle leg choke hold and evasive striking maneuvers The fundamental classes are easy to learn as they have great coaches. The adult students are of all ages, from 19 to 70. Everyone I have met so far is very personable and you feel like you belong there instantly. Joe and Tia are great owners. Tia worked out right next to me during Condition class today and motivated me to push myself harder. Joe is a highly experienced hand to hand combat fighter and is a really good coach for the Combat class. You leave that class knowing a lot more than you did just an hour before you walked in, with maneuvers you can use in everyday life. I highly recommend this center. ~ Tanya

I visited this gym the other day to take a private lesson with Matt Smith, the grappling coach, and I was very impressed by both the lesson and the facility. Matt’s knowledge and attention to detail is inspiring and the lesson was worth every penny. I learned several gems that immediately improved my wrestling. The gym itself was extremely clean and had a unique, welcoming atmosphere. There’s ample mat space, a comfortable waiting and reception area, and the bathrooms are in really good shape. I definitely recommend this gym for anyone looking to learn to defend themselves or who might just be interested in martial arts. ~ Eric S

This martial arts gym has been incredibly welcoming from day one. I had observed other gyms around the area, but Condition 1 Combat Center drew me back! Joe, the owner and the other instructors are highly skilled and intentional in how they teach. They make sure the techniques are clear, and ensure students understand fundamentals. They are approachable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. (calling you by name!) I was drawn to the environment because it is social and I made a friend immediately, which makes me feel like part of the community rather than just another member. Pricing is reasonable for the quality and variety of classes. They also have a hybrid setup with martial arts training and weights/gym equipment, which is a big plus for my fitness and strength training goals! Overall, its a great place to train, grow, and stay motivated, whether you are a beginner or more experienced! I'm also almost 50 years old and I feel supported and welcome here-Shy ~ Shy T

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. ~ John C

Joe and Tia have built an incredible atmosphere where you can train hard, grow stronger, and genuinely have fun doing it. As a Veteran-owned and operated facility, they bring a strong sense of leadership, discipline, and integrity to everything they do. It’s an especially great place for Veterans and their children to feel connected, supported, and part of something meaningful. Their coaches are extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly invested in helping each person reach their individual goals. The facility is always clean, organized, and safe, creating a comfortable environment where everyone can thrive. What really sets them apart is the community—they’ve created a welcoming space where everyone is treated like family from day one. Their kids JiuJitsu program is just as impressive. It goes far beyond technique, teaching practical self-defense while building confidence, character, discipline, and respect. It’s incredible to see how much the kids grow both on and off the mats. ~ Stevie M

My previous boxing gym closed down so I was on the hunt for a new gym. I visited 7 different boxing related gyms in the area before finally landing at C1C. I'm doing their conditioning-class-only membership, and it's been fantastic. Always a unique and challenging workout. Great owner (Joe clearly cares about his gym and members) and excellent trainers (Tyree and Zion put on awesome fitness classes). Overall gym culture is supportive and friendly. If you're looking for a fun and challenging way to get in shape I couldn't recommend them more. ~ Ryan G

This gym is amazing! I have to say, the gym’s owners, Joe & Tia Morris, are some of the most caring and knowledgeable people I have ever met. Not only are you getting top notch instruction from phenomenal coaches, but it’s a welcoming environment. There’s no competitive, we’re going to try to break you, and you better look the part or leave atmosphere. Instead it’s all about learning to survive thru comprehensive, life saving techniques. I highly recommend Condition 1 Combat and ALL that it offers! ~ Melissa G

I am incredibly proud of how much my 12-year-old son has grown, and I truly believe that the guidance he's received from these amazing coaches has played a huge part in his development. His confidence has soared, and it shows in his academic excellence and active participation in class. While he remains humble and reserved, he is also a real sweetheart, always caring for others. It truly takes a village to raise a child, and I’m grateful he is surrounded by such dedicated and supportive coaches! ~ Jennie A

With the cadre of instructors Joe has managed to assemble, with such proven world-class experience, knowledge, and success, it won't be long before this place is recognized as the premier self-defense training environment in the Houston area! I'm certainly glad I signed up early before it fills to capacity! I'm amazed and truly blessed to be surrounded by such knowledgeable, capable, and genuinely caring instructors, and trying to absorb everything I can like a sponge. Keep up the great work and I'll see you on the mats! ~ Roy B

Our son has been training here for almost a year. The growth we’ve seen has been clear, not only in his technique, but in his confidence and focus. What stands out most to us is the atmosphere. It truly feels like a community. The environment is welcoming and well-structured, giving the kids both discipline and space to enjoy what they’re learning. The coaches are attentive and genuinely invested in each child’s progress. We’re very glad we found this academy and appreciate being part of it. ~ Mirel G

My son has been attending since he was days before turning 5 years old. That was almost two years ago. He started out very shy, and while that is still part of his personality to be a little on the quiet side in certain settings, he has grown in confidence that he just did not have prior to joining the kids jiujitsu class here at Condition One. The coaches have all been so spectacular that my son constantly says they're all his favorite, as he just cannot choose one. As a spectator on the bleachers during my son's class, I can say with a million percent mom approval that every coach that my son has trained with here has been exceptionally patient, thoughtful, and consistent in their teachings. It fills me with pride to watch my son do drills and learn techniques that teach not only self defense, but self control/discipline, respect, courage, confidence, and so much more than we were expecting to find when we came into this gym almost two years ago to see what it would be like. I have recommended it to many friends and will continue to do so. ~ Roni E

Being trained by Joe Morris is one of the most empowering and life-changing aspects that have shaped not only my fitness goals, but my outlook on life. Joe is an outstanding and encouraging instructor that is truly passionate in what he does. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is so proficient in explaining- not only “what” to do, but “why” to make that move/strike/etc. I would HIGHLY recommend ANYONE to take his class. He is an incredible instructor. ~ Rachael Q

Joe and Thyea are the best!! They know how to make training so much fun, yet so effective and applicable! I feel like this is where my skills can grow and I can’t wait until my baby grows up so that he can start taking lessons here. This is such a family place… everyone is so friendly and you just feel at home. Everyone is there to help you get better and encourage you to push past your limits!! Thanks so much Joe and Thyea!! I can’t thank y’all enough!! ~ Jan K

I have no experience with martial arts, so I was a little nervous walking into this place to get started. Joe and his team are great people and made me feel very comfortable from my first lesson. They easily broke down every move and explained it in detail. The best part about this gym is the family package. My entire family of 6 gets to go to any class they want and learn valuable self defense skills. I would highly recommend this gym if you’re looking to get into martial arts. ~ Michael L

Condition 1 Combat Center is a practical system that can be used in everyday life. Head instructor/founder Joe Morris always makes sure you leave a session prepared, fatigued and wanting for more. I'm 3 days in and can't wait for the next class. 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. Thank you Joe Morris for opening Condtion 1. See you in the next class. ~ Pj D

Great martial arts school with an excellent head instructor. Joe knows what he's teaching and very good at showing students proper fighting skills and explaining how things are done and why they are done that way. The drills are pragmatic and provide a good workout. I feel great after the workouts. I highly recommend Condition One Combat Center to any and all who want to learn practical fighting skill for real world situations and get in better shape while doing so. ~ Jeff C

I’ve been training at Condition 1 for about three months and it has been amazing. Some gyms you go to feel more like a business than a training facility. At Condition 1 it’s the complete opposite. Joe is the most welcoming friendly person you could meet. He treats members like family from the very first class. And it’s like that with all the instructors. They genuinely want to see you improve. I had to take 2 weeks off for an unexpected trip and Joe called me just to make sure I was ok…there’s not too many schools where the owner is that invested in his people. In addition to the community they have created at Condition 1, the level of combat expertise is staggering. From jujitsu to striking to firearms and self defense, they teach it all. On top of all that, the classes are very reasonable. I’ve been to other gyms that charge 2-3 times what they charge at Condition 1 to take part in multiple classes. If you’re looking to become a well rounded individual in multiple aspects of combat this is the place for you. I can’t say enough good things about Condition 1, 10/10 recommend! ~ Gary C
