Our instructors in the Team Tooke Cypress program make it a point to spend a lot of hands-on time with the kids to help them develop and improve in their areas that need improvement. You don’t want your child to be in a class that isn’t goal-focused, nor do you want them to have a teacher who doesn’t provide the proper attention or instruction in a clean, safe, and positive environment.

Instructor/Owner Professor Travis Tooke
I was introduced to Jiu-jitsu at age 14 when a friend and I watched the very first UFC. I witnessed Royce Gracie defeat his opponents with ease using grappling techniques and I knew right then that I wanted to learn Jiu-jitsu. In the late 90's, Jiu-jitsu was hardly the household name that it is today. There was only 1 black belt in Texas, Carlos Machado, and he was in Dallas. As a Houstonian, I relied on my instructor Alvis Solis, who was a blue belt, along with video tape instructionals and occasional trips to Dallas to train with Master Machado. Undeterred, I followed my passion which included training every day (twice a day in the summer), teaching and continous progress. Fast forward to 2004 (age 22), I saved my money, sold my car and with the help of a student of mine I moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to train full time. I received my black belt in December of 2005 from Carlos Gracie, Jr. In April of 2005 I returned to Houston and started Team Tooke Mixed Martial Arts Academy from my father's garage with no money, no business experience and no students! Through trial and error, I kept learning and slowly grew my school. And, just like with martial arts, I failed a bunch in the beginning. But with the right mentors, I learned how to build, manage and lead a martial arts team. Today, Team Tooke has over 300 students and is one of the most recognized and respected martial arts academies in Texas. I believe Jiu-jitsu and martial arts has the power to transform lives as it did mine and that is why I'm still so passionate about teaching. I grew up with few resources in a mobile home and my parents divorced when I was 11 years old. I never excelled in school but I found a passion for Jiu-jitsu and for teaching that gave me a life I never would have imagined. I want to share this energy with my students and help them find more meaningful paths in life. I have been training now for over 28 years. And while my body takes a little longer to recover than it used to, my mind and heart are still as passionate as ever about teaching, training and always improving.
Instructor/Owner Professor Travis Tooke
I’ve been involved in Martial Arts for over 30 years. After a career of 23 years in Wireless Communications and Engineering (Nine which included Service in the US Navy), I decided to leave and start Team Tooke MMA Cypress in May 2009. I used Martial Arts as a tool for personal self-development and training for competitions. Since I was a kid, I always wanted to grow up and be a Coach due to the positive impact my Coaches in sports over the years helped me to overcome my confidence and learning challenges during school. In 2005, I began teaching Martial Arts for my instructors and realized that Coaching and working with people, especially children, was my real Passion. So in May 2009, with the blessing from my current instructor Travis Tooke, I opened Team Tooke MMA Cypress as a full-time occupation.
