Prepare with Practical Mixed Martial Arts Training
Instruction shaped by over two decades of martial arts experience
Benchmark Self Defense brings together boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, and grappling in Pflugerville for individuals who want to develop real personal protection skills. The focus here isn't sport-only competition—it's readiness, discipline, and the kind of fitness that carries into everyday life. Young working professionals between twenty-five and forty make up the core of our student base, and each program is structured to fit into demanding schedules while building genuine capability.
When you walk into training, you'll know what to expect. Each session is designed with a clear format, and progression is tracked through a structured ranking system. You're not guessing where you stand or what comes next—you're moving through a deliberate path that builds on what you've already learned. Benchmark Self Defense provides a supportive community of people who share similar goals, and that environment makes it easier to stay consistent.
Benchmark Self Defense offers more than technique. It's about understanding how movement, timing, and decision-making work together under pressure. You'll train with instructors who hold black belts in BJJ and Judo, along with advanced credentials in submission wrestling and Kali. That depth of experience shapes how every drill is taught and every concept is reinforced.

How Training Is Delivered
DISCOVER HOW WE TRAIN
You'll begin with an introductory session that covers your current experience level and what you're hoping to achieve. From there, you're guided into group classes or private instruction depending on your preference and pace. Expectations are laid out at the start—what drills will look like, how techniques are introduced, and how your progress will be documented. Each program follows a clear structure that allows you to measure improvement over time, whether you're focused on striking, grappling, or self defense.
Classes are organized around consistent formats so you know what to prepare for. Warm-ups lead into skill-building, then live practice or situational drills. Instructors adjust difficulty based on your development, and feedback is specific and actionable. If you're pursuing rank advancement, testing protocols are explained well in advance so there's no confusion about what's required.
Our training approach includes several key elements that support steady development
- Instruction led by practitioners with black belt credentials in BJJ and Judo, plus third-degree ranking in submission wrestling
- Options to focus on self defense, grappling, or striking through tiered membership plans starting at one hundred twenty-five dollars monthly
- A training facility located in Pflugerville and serving students from surrounding areas including Round Rock, Georgetown, Hutto, and Manor

"I currently attend classes at Centex. The training you receive is the quality experience you always hear about at places but never receive. Immediately when you step in you will be greeted by Tyrus a great trainer/mentor/leader. His training is impeccable and the variety of all the arts blend so perfectly. Most definitely gonna continue my journey under his training."
