Location:

"All classes are in Belmont room 904.
Belmont is in the UT football stadium.
Go up the elevators to the ninth floor take a left go down the hall and the room will be on your right."

The Belmont can be a little tricky to find your first time. It's basically on the dead end of "east" (of Congress, not IH35) 21st street into San Jacinto, on the UT campus. Just as they say, it is basically a building built into the back of the stands of the football stadium. (Yes, that stadium.)

Free Classes?:
Summer: Usually free, depending on that particular season.
Informal. Try a time or two (or more?), but eventually someone will talk to you about money.

Price:
3 classes/week @ $60/semester (semester = 3 months)

Classes are 1.5-3 hours each.

Short review:

Casual. Not the nicest mats, but they get the job done... People are nice. Mostly beginners, but a wide variety of skill levels do come. Instructors are solid and qualified, but instruction felt a bit aimless. Class structure was lacking. Lots of sparring time, however, was a huge plus. Cheap cheap cheap.
