The world's first two martial arts; wrestling and Jiu Jitsu, are also the largest gross producers of character, integrity, grit, and work ethic known to man. After all… that’s really the most important aspect of what we sell here at Bandit Combat Sports: Tools For A Better Life.

It’s not enough just to…

Create NINE state wrestling champions in your first year right out of the gate, or multiple Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champions across all ages. Nope, none of that matters… if you aren’t creating BETTER HUMAN BEINGS. And that is our goal at Bandit Combat Sports. We largely operate under one of our golden tenets, “if you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it”. And, your child will be measured every single day… to make sure that he/she leaves our doors just a little bit better than they entered.

THE THANK YOU LETTER mission statement:

Currently serving kids from Cypress, Tomball, Spring, Waller, Klein, and the greater Houston area, it is our mission to give these communities and their student athletes access to better lives through wrestling, martial arts, and their respective leadership and character development programs. We will do this by not only offering affordable rates, but by offering scholarship programs to those in need as well, with the ultimate goal of providing young athletes all the necessary tools for success both on and off the mat, and fostering a lifestyle of accountability, achievement and responsibility. After all, the only THANK YOU LETTER a child will ever write for being handed the gift of life… is what he or she does with that gift.

Our room is not an easy room. But, if your child/young adult successfully adheres to our standards and curriculum… hardly anything out in the real world will stand a chance of blocking his/her path, regardless as to the heights of the places they have their eyes on.

After all… getting their hand raised in life is the REAL championship.

How it started...

In October of 2022 this brand new wrestling club was born under the tutelage of the legendary Mike Krause, who was named "the number 1 youth wrestling coach of the century" by FloWrestling (the authority on all things wrestling). A grand total of 3 months later, his brand new team swept all the others coming from not only Texas, but multiple other surrounding states as well to take the Open Team trophy at the 2023 Houston Nationals… an unparalleled accomplishment in such a short time from inception to performance… and ultimately wrapped up the season with no fewer than NINE Texas State Champions. A previously unheard of result for a new team.

Add to that, our wrestling program has now teamed up with HBJJ (est. 2004) and their legendary Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program to bring you the most potent 1-2 punch in all of youth combat sports… BANDIT COMBAT SPORTS... your home for all things wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Simply put, we breed better human beings.

In more than loving memory of...

MICHAEL PETER KRAUSE... 1969-2023

BANDIT COMBAT SPORTS operates every single day in loving memory of their beloved Coach.

"He was one of the best men I've ever known. But, what he left in all of his wrestlers and parents alike... will be indelible. He indeed left a seed... but a seed is all it takes. Godspeed, brother. We will carry your torch."
