Corvo Martial Arts, Richardson TX

I did a couple of trial classes at other gyms in the area but ended up choosing this one. This is probably one of, if not, the best gyms in the Dallas area. The coaches are great, know their stuff, and are very patient. The other people who train here are also very friendly and quite skilled, so there's quite a lot you can learn from them as well. You don't even have to take my word for it, just visit an open mat or do a trial class and see for yourself. Whether you're looking for some exercise or trying to compete I'm sure you'll have a great time and find what you're looking for.

I started training at Corvo, in my 50's, with no prior martial arts experience, and am having a blast! Tony and his team have created a super friendly & supportive environment, covering all skill levels. Can't recommend this place enough!

I m so grateful found this great gem spot to learn after recently moving. Very detailed classes and positive vibes every time you step in the door. Highly recommended to anyone new or OG who is looking for a great gym to train and learn.

It was my first time trying jiu jitsu and even though I’m a total beginner it was easy to follow and understand the instructors and everyone was super welcoming, you could tell there’s a great vibe at this place. Thank you for letting me try and introducing me to the sport, I’m sure I’ll be back next time I’m in Dallas!

Great coaches. Great vibes. Super welcoming place to learn and train. There are people of all different skill levels and the instruction is very well meshed between all of those levels.

Came from out of town, they let me train with them, definitely had fun, and learned something, I love the class structure.warm technique, situational, rolling, expanding on the same technique, more rolling.

I’ve been training at Corvo for almost three years and have loved every minute of it. Tony and the instructors are top notch and patient with the students. I’m a police officer and I’ve learned skills that have helped me protect myself and stay safe on the street. The students there are high level competitors and are very friendly. I highly recommend this gym.

Best gym I've trained at in the DFW! The coaches are awesome and teach high percentage moves, diverse group of training partners, and the gym is always clean! Several classes throughout the day whether you're looking for morning, noon, or night. Highly recommend Corvo!

After looking around at martial arts gyms in the area, it took one trial class at Corvo to know this was the place for me. The members of the Corvo community are supportive and engage in martial arts for all the right reasons (you won’t find much gym-bro ego around here). Whether you are looking to learn basic self-defense or want to compete at the highest level, Corvo has classes and competition to suit your needs. Beginning my jiu-jitsu journey after 40 years old was a little intimidating, but everyday I train at Corvo my decision to join is validated 100%

Joined this gym in September 2022 and it's been one of the best decisions I've made for my physical and mental health. Great culture, great coaching, and scalable for all body types and backgrounds. If you are thinking about it - you should try a free trial class - there is nothing to lose!

Top notch kids classes. They do a great mix of drills and skills while also saving time for fun. It’s a big welcoming family that celebrates each other and encourages growth. Highly recommend.

I trained at Corvo for a few months last spring, and it was rad. In the last year, I've trained in 10+ gyms across 7-8 states and Corvo is top tier. After training here, it's my gold standard for future gyms (and most of them don't meet it). The facilities are impeccably clean, there are so many available classes, and the coaching is approachable and yet sophisticated (gi and no gi, both). They've also created a gym that fosters community + fun yet still maintains structure and respect for the craft while bringing everyone into the fold. Definitely recommend!

Currently taking a hiatus, but Corvo was introduced to me by a friend from university and it was such an amazing experience. Never trained before Corvo, but everyone was really awesome in teaching me. If you’re looking to challenge yourself, build confidence, and get in better shape, Corvo is the place to check out. Definitely coming back!

Had a great time at Corvo. Roy was a great instructor. Can’t wait to go back and learn some more!

I had the chance to swing by and get some rolls in with their grapplers as I was visiting family. Their grapplers are some of the best that I've had the chance to roll with. Their adherence to hygiene is top notch as well. For anyone looking for a spot to get some good rolls in, this is the spot. I'd even recommend newbies in the DFW area to come learn from them. Their lead instructor knows his stuff.

*A Fun and Supportive Jiu-Jitsu Gym Perfect for Both Seasoned Grapplers and Eager Newbies*

As a 46-year-old who's been training at Corvo Martial Arts in Richardson, TX for nearly three years, I can't help but rave about this fantastic gym. My 13-year-old son has also been training here for a year and a half, and we both love it. The facility is clean, organized, and boasts some pretty sweet swag. It's got everything you need: showers, changing rooms, bathrooms, a water station, vending machine, and a coffee station to fuel those early morning rolls. They even have a hygiene station complete with nail clippers, tape, and first aid basics - talk about attention to detail!

The instructors at Corvo are a triple threat: they're black belts, experienced competitors, and true professionals. They've managed to strike that elusive balance between discipline and a laid-back atmosphere, which is perfect for both young'uns like my son and, ahem, more mature students like myself. Did I mention the dedicated and skilled brown and purple belts who help coach? Metaphorically, the perfect armbar finish.

Corvo offers classes for all skill levels, from white-belt-only classes (an absolute lifesaver for beginners) to adult beginner and advanced classes. They also have top-notch children's classes taught by caring, knowledgeable instructors who foster discipline while keeping things fun. My son couldn't be happier!

The community at Corvo is second to none. Everyone is welcoming, and there's a genuine sense of camaraderie among members. We've made great friends here, and the best part is, no one's out to prove themselves at the expense of their partners. We're all here to learn, grow, and occasionally share a laugh or two over a failed submission attempt.
Pricing at Corvo is pretty reasonable, with a free class for newbies and some sweet deals for women and families. The gym caters to both competitive and casual jiu-jitsu practitioners, and the blend of people and talent keeps things fresh and interesting.

In short, Corvo Martial Arts is a gem of a gym for anyone interested in jiu-jitsu. With expert instructors, a fun and supportive community, and a wide range of classes, it's the perfect place for both seasoned grapplers and eager newcomers to grow in the art. Just don't blame me when you get hooked and can't stop talking about jiu-jitsu to everyone you meet!

Awesome place to train and the staff and other members are very welcoming of anyone motivated to better themselves! I am in the LE field and highly recommend this gym to any other LEOs looking to train.

Dropped in on the noon no gi class while visiting from California had a great experience, from beginner to advanced you’ll feel comfortable training here.

My family and I have been training here for years and it's become our home away from home. Amazing instructors and the cleanest facility around. Whether you're struggling with confidence, want to learn how to properly defend yourself or just want to get in better shape - highly recommend Corvo!

All I can say is that Coach David and Coach Rob are absolutely amazing! I had my free trial class last night (as of the review), and I am for sure signing up. Never trained before, but everyone was awesome in teaching me.
