Best Mma Gym near San-antonio, Texas

I've been to maybe 30 gym so I've met a lot of students and coaches. Everyone learns differently and bonds with specific people but the main grappling and striking coaches I've met here are very helpful humble and patient, the students are willing and kind. I think everyone for the most part has a willingness to learn and improve which reflects a lot on management and teachers. It's a hole in the wall I never even knew existed and I've driven past them several times a week for about 17 years of my life. I'm very glad I found them. I learn very carefully so I'm glad I found people who strive to be precise with their technique. They're also very patient with me and willing to work with what I have or lack of, I think this gym has been very compatible so far. I'm very thankful I'm gonna try my best.

I can't say enough great things about ONE Academy! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported by the instructors and fellow students. The coaches are incredibly skilled, patient, and passionate about teaching. The classes are well-structured, with a perfect balance of technique, drills, and live rolling. The gym has a clean, safe, and friendly environment that makes training here a pleasure. If you're looking for a top-notch jiu-jitsu gym where you'll learn, grow, and feel part of a community, ONE Academy is the place to be. Highly recommend!

One Academy is probably one of the most welcoming gyms I've been to. Friendly staff, a timely schedule and what's most important to me is the quality of training we receive. Even in big classes, the coaches will individualize lessons to help suit different people. I highly recommend this home base to anyone at ANY skill level.

Love ONE! Been going here for about 3 years. Mainly BJJ, but also boxing, muay thai, MMA, wrestling, and the fitness classes. It has some of the best coaches I've ever had the privilege of training with. It's got a good chill vibe, but people train hard. Couldn't recommend it more. EDIT: Forgot to mention, my wife and kids all attend as well and they love it. Their kids program for wrestling and BJJ and both great!

Been training at ONE Academy for 3 years and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. The coaches and students are very supportive and helpful and everyone helps each other grow and progress. This gym is very family oriented and offers a whole plethora of classes to add to your arsenal, even if you don't want to compete but love what you do and want to get in shape, this gym is for you! Come train!🥊🥋🤼‍♂️

I joined Ambush for Muay Thai training and the experience has been exceptional. The trainers here are skilled and they provide attention to each student.Coach Fernando is very knowledgeable and a great teacher.My 5 year old son also trains here with coach Mike, he is very talented,excellent instructor and have a great ability to bring out the best in my son he also offers private lessons that are well worth it. The atmosphere is motivating! I like energy and vibes from everyone. So if you're looking to sharpen your skills and get in shape I highly recommend Ambush.

Amazing place. Has classes and skill levels for everyone. Whether you are going to get fit, a hobbyist or an active or aspiring fighter this gym has it all! Flexible class schedule with quite a few different class time and options. More importantly coaches Mike and Fernando have created a culture here. Go to any local fights or grappling tournaments and you see the community Ambush has created. Give it a whirl you won’t be disappointed

I've been training for almost a year and haven't regretted a day. It's a great place to get an excellent workout and learn Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu from highly knowledge coaches. Whether you're looking for a workout and learn fundamental or wanting to develop and compete in tournaments, this is a welcoming and fun community to train and learn from no matter your skill level.

beginner or expert, this gym is a great fit for all experience levels. everyone is friendly and very helpful. youre bound to improve coming here

Great place to train whether you are new or advanced. The classes are challenging at all levels. Some people compete and some just want to stay in shape and learn some new skills. The coaches and other students all help each other so everyone is getting better.

Amazing gym! Here you’re family. They are absolutely wonderful with kids all the way through the adults! Very competitive minded family oriented, and positive healthy lifestyle focused. The level of experience and knowledge from the coaches is second to none!

It is a very nice academy, it is family-friendly and they offer waiting areas during the class for small children. I like that the coaches are professional, kind and patient when teaching. Their practices are very specific and adapted for the learning of small children and adults.

Professor Marcelo is a fantastic coach, who does an exceptional job and instructing both kids and adults. My whole family trains under Marcelo and we couldn’t imagine training anywhere else.

This is definitely the best Brazilian jiu jitsu! The environment is amazing, the teachers are professional and great to work with! dont think twice, I would definitely recommend Brazilian Top Team as your martial arts and self-defense school for adults and kids!

I can’t say enough good things about this place and the coaches!!! My daughter has been going for a while and coach Denise was amazing with her and so has been coach Marcelo. I am a 50 year old beginner and had it not been for coach Marcelo and his amazing daughter Maria encouraging me I would not have started. If you want a loving and encouraging place to go and for your kids to get amazing coaching pick this place!!

My son has been training at pinnacle for 2 years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging with kids. They’ve helped my son build confidence, discipline, and focus while having fun at the same time. The center has a supportive and safe environment, and the sense of community here is wonderful, and I love how they emphasize respect and teamwork.

I have been going to Pinnacle on and off and every time I go when I have time the classes is always gonna be a good class. coach Daniel and Andrew are excellent teachers always willing to walk you through the lesson as well as providing tips and guidance. It’s unfortunate I am going on rotation and moving out of San Antonio but If I am ever in town and need to get a roll in I will would for sure stop by Pinnacle. 100% recommend pinnacle if you ever want to learn bjj and striking.

We started my son here during the first week of school. He is in 2nd grade and we have benefited and enjoyed it more than we could have ever imagined. We have noticed a direct correlation to his school behavior improving dramatically. The coaches are so amazing and supportive and my son wants to work hard to impress them. The place is clean and professional but has a great family feel annd so multiple events and play days that involve pizza, bounce castles and dodge ball. Our whole family has really enjoyed getting involved here and now we try to come up to 4 times a week even.

I can’t speak highly enough about this family owned gym. They train some high-level fighters, but they’re also very family-oriented, and safety-conscious, especially for the kids and newer students. My 13y/o has flourished at Pinnacle. Highly recommend!

My experience at Pinnacle has been exceptional. Many different class times and different martial arts to choose from. All of the coaches are professional and willing to help you coach you along no matter what level you’re at. Definitely recommend Pinnacle if you are considering getting into martial arts.

Our 11 year old son trained here for about 1.5 years and it has been an amazing experience for him. His confidence in himself has improved 100%, he learned about discipline, hard work and empathy. The professors and coaches are outstanding and the staff made us feel so welcomed. We definitely recommend trying the gym out to see if it's a good fit for your martial arts journey . The only reason we've left the gym is because we moved out of SATX.

I brought my two blue belt teens to roll while we were in town on vacation. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The instruction and drilling part of the class was about an hour and was very clear and thorough. It was followed by 30 minutes of free rolling. Everyone there gave good solid rolls. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

My son has been training here for almost 2 years now and we love the environment here! The coaches, students, parents and professors all help in making everyone part of the family and team! He loves training here and has a great relationship with everyone...thank you RDA for all you do for the people that come here!! I highly recommend you give RDA a try!!

I’ve had the privilege of training at RDA and and was impressed with their level of instruction, hospitality, and culture. This is a great place to train; weather your a seasoned athlete or new to the sport. I highly recommend RDA. Thank you for the opportunity!!

The people at Rda from the teachers to staff are awesome. My son has been going for a few months and I and my wife have seen a change in him. The staff is very careful with beginers whether they're 5 or 40. I have also tried the free 3 day trail and loved every minute of it. Professor Blue teaches kids life skills no one else does. He has been to many competitions and his kids beat the compition every time. I can't put into words how I love RDA. It's great.

I have been training under Rodrigo Pinheiro for about two years now. Prior to this I trained at two other academies and I am happy to have found my forever home. My daughter has been training for a little over a year now and she loves it! Whether you are a high lever competitor or a hobbyist, young or old, in shape or not, this is the place to learn real martial arts.

RPBJJ is the best Jiujitsu school I have ever been to. It is the best run in Texas and likely the best in the entire Southwestern United States. This school is run professionally, as a business regardless of the location you choose to attend. The class and curriculum is structured, the standards are known and enforced. The facilities are world class with sanitation after class and, by a third party with testing every week. The training is rigorous because the instructors to the man or woman are or have been IBJJF and/or ADCC world champions and regularly place in high level tournaments. This school is not a meat grinder and the probability of injury is lower than others. There is no better place to receive instruction in the gentle art than RPBJJ

Just my opinion, but this is the place to be in San Antonio. My brother moved to SATX, and when he asked where he should train, I recommended RPBJJ. Professor Rodrigo is one of the most accomplished competitors from his generation and has built one of the strongest teams in Texas. My gal and I were supposed to leave to SATX on Saturday, but my brother suggested I leave Friday, stay with him and we train on Saturday at 11AM. I was excited to train at RPBJJ due to their style of heavy pressure passing. Majority of the guys were out at Kissimmee, Fl coaching the at IBJJF Kids Pans or competing in the IBJJF Orlando Open. Professor David conducted an awesome class covering armbar, omoplata and triangle. He covered setups, and what to expect/do when countered from a guard passer. My brother and I did the technique together, which was followed by specific training using the positions covered, then we broke off into five 6-minute rounds. I got to roll with high level blackbelts, train hard all in a very welcoming and friendly environment. I highly recommend training here, or if you are passing through this is the place to stop at. Professors David, Manny, Tony were all great training partners, and I look forward to seeing these guys again in the near future.

Best place to train Brazilian Jui Jitsu in San Antonio if not the world. The athletes here and coaches are legit and top tier! I am extremely impressed with RPBJJs awesome instructors and professionalism. I love the family oriented community here and I will eventually get my kids in. If you are thinking about getting into Brazilian Jui Jitsu, look no further than RPBJJ you will not regret it.

My son has been training here for just over two years. I am so impressed with the knowledge all of the instructors have, their ability and patience to work with kids of all ages, and the culture Professor Rodrigo has developed with everyone. This place has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made into my son. He’s grown so much as a person thanks in part to the values and positive culture RPBJJ instills…this place isn’t just about jiu jitsu, they are about developing well balanced, healthy, confident kids. I can’t say enough positive things about the impact this staff has had on my son, wish I could give them more stars on this rating!

Coach Angel is an amazing coach. I felt so out of place as a 39 year old dude trying to learn how to box but coach Angel took me under his wing and led me to some amazing results. His knowledge is like no other. I highly recommend!

Coach Angel is top notch!!! I’ve seen so much improvement with my technique in such a short time span. If you’re looking to step your game up, I highly recommend you give White Tiger Muay Thai a chance.

Angel Soto is fantastic… He brought my stand up game to another level. Highly recommend Kru Soto and White Tiger Muay Thai. We are family now… Once a White Tiger…Always a White Tiger.

Kru Soto is great! The creativity in his style is what makes learning Muay Thai unique here

Lost 65lbs in less than 7 months the first time I signed up at White Tiger! Angel is awesome to work with. He will work with you no matter what experience or fitness level you are currently at. I plan on joining back up once my schedule allows and suggest as well as recommend you do so as well!! 👊🏽

We've been apart of the jiu-jitsu family since my daughter was 4. Professor Rodrigo has been an amazing influence to my babies. I now have both of my babies in class. Parents, you want to be involved in a family and God loving environment, this is the best place to be!!! My kids love the bully proof class with Lele and Professor Rodrigo❤️

If i could describe RPBJJ in one word, it would be family. Everyone there is very humble and the professors are all great teachers, not only in the discipline, but in life as well. Great school/awesome atmosphere. I highly recommend RPBJJ

Dropped in while in town for a few days. Couldn't have chosen a better place. Professor Rivaldo is extremely welcoming, great technique and his students are amazing! Great location with clean and spacious mats. Would love to stop by next time in town!

I visited this RPBJJ location while in San Antonio and had a wonderful time - great instruction and great rolls! Lots of knowledge on the mats and a safe place to train.

Just signed up. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. Training is good, and safe, people are nice and respectful. Dojo is clean. Glad I picked this school. Been training for 15 years and it hit all the marks I was looking for.

Active duty military here and I can tell you that these guys are awesome people. In a deployed environment they hooked us up with rash guards free of charge. When you’re overseas, things like that really lift morale. Thank you guys!!

I FEEL AWESOME tired BUT AWESOME!! I Really enjoyed my session even though its tough. Most importantly I was encouraged and its not some make me feel good encouragment, but genuine encouragement.

Gym is great, right away you are treated like one of the guys. Coach Soto is great and I’ve learned a whole lot in my first class! Can’t wait to continue growing with this gym. Fonzie.Bazan

Dominion MMA is a veteran friendly gym, who went out of their way to send free rash guards as care package to deployed military members. These allowed deployers to continue training and invite new members to learn the art of BJJ even while deployed.

My time with Coach Teejay was always enjoyable and a great experience. With finishing up a Bacherlors, starting a masters degree and a new job schedule, it was hard for me to continue with classes, but it is still a time I remember fondly and cannot wait for the opportunity to go back Thank you to the Dominion team and specially Teejay as his focus, love, and respect for the mat was clear and passed down to each person that had the pleasures to join him there. Thank you.
