Just before I joined Marra I went to a popular BJJ place with a few locations and did not like their sales tactic. I trained there for a month and they told me to have my son try classes and the locked me in contract. When my son didn't like it they made me pay the rest of the contract The instruction is WAYYYYY better at Marra. Professor Ray and Professor Marra are SUPER patient with my white belt skills and is very observant with everyone in the class. The best part about the school is the students that attend. Everyone is VERY respectful and accepting of new students which is super important. The guys and gals become a little family which is amazing in a gym. STOP READING THIS AND JOIN US

PARENTS BEWARE: KEEP ANY YOUNG CHILDREN AWAY…read more Long story short: We walked in with our 3 year old and walked out 10 minutes later very upset, confused, and concerned for my child's head injury. Needless to say we never returned. Parent's I would suggest some place else and if you decide to still bring your kids in please be careful and speak up if you think something doesn't look right BEFORE your child gets unnecessarily hurt. Here's what happened. Backstory: Our 3 year old started PreK and in his class at his new school there were 3 yr olds, 4 yr olds and 5 yr olds who had just turned 5. In addition to the big age gap our son is very small for his age. He said he loved the school and teacher but was coming home with different complaints everyday. Someone pushed me to the floor, someone slapped me, someone spit on me, etc... We thought martial arts might help him. The incident: We drive past Brazilian Top Team Northeast every day since we live just minutes away. We walked in and there was a class that seemed to be beginning soon. There was a room for parents to the left that had a giant window and seats to see the training area. The man in the picture greeted us and seemed nice enough. He told us we could stay and watch and at that moment our 3 yr old said "I want to try" and we asked him if he could go out there with the younger kids. The youngest looked about 4 or 5. The man laughed a little said yes and offered to lend a uniform. We were all very excited and expected a very basic first day. Maybe some hand over hand teaching, maybe some exercises or even verbal strategies, ("No stop I don't like that") Within a few seconds he has the students get into about 5 lines of 4 or 5 kids. The first person in each line walked all the way across to the other side of the room and faced the line. The next student in line was then instructed to run full speed, wrap arms around the standing student and "take them down". Our 3 year was the last in line. He ran across the room and looked like he was trying to move a statue because the little girl didn't budge at all. The instructor stopped them and told our kiddo to stand in her spot. This is where I became concerned. I thought surely he would be there to walk and talk them through it as his daughter ran up next. But instead he stood back smirked and let his very well trained, bigger daughter wrap her arms around our 3 year old, lift him up, and slam the back of his head to the ground! To make matters worse no one seemed to rush over somehow I was the first one by our child's side picking him up off the ground. I removed the uniform and walked out. I couldn't understand why this instructor would do that and how that experience could ever help our 3 year old become better and more confident. It became clear it was to make his daughter better and more confident. This was no way her fault but I would advise any new parents who have children under 5 years old to just be careful with her because this was about a year ago so she may be close to 5 years old now. But more importantly parents of all ages be careful with this instructor. Just speak up if things are moving too fast on the first day or any day after. There are always other places so I would suggest just try them all out and see what fits your child best.

It was always kung fu or Kenpo or point fighting in the past so needless to say I like a challenge and all I can say is that they welcomed me with open arms and they're very happy with my effort and I'm pretty strong for an old guy and they have been letting me learn finesse and learn how to control my energy and how to build stamina and they've been incredibly patient and it's just unbelievable and it's resetting my whole physical base and it's got me thinking that I can start doing some of their MMA classes and I started doing a little bit of their judo although at 64 I don't really want to get slammed on the ground so they let me take it real easy but I mean I go as hard as I want in the Jiu Jitsu and they let me go hard. But they let me go as soft as I want with the judo and I'm starting to grab my gloves and get out there for their MMA and it is absolutely fantastic. There are some real strong players but we all are there to support and help each other grow.

I trained at this academy regularly, competed with the team, and for most of my membership…read moreconsidered the gym and its members an important part of my life. I learned a great deal, developed meaningful friendships, and previously had a positive relationship with the coaches. As a veteran, Jiu-Jitsu had become more than a recreational activity for me. It provided structure, community, purpose, and a constructive way to manage the transition out of military service. This context made the end of my membership particularly significant for me. Management developed concerns about my communication style, but I was not spoken to directly or informed that my membership was at risk. I later learned that the coach's wife had been discussing her concerns about me with one of my close friends for approximately one month. My friend repeatedly stated that she believed I was joking rather than intending disrespect and offered to speak with me about it. She was told that the coaches would handle the matter. No coach raised these concerns with me directly. And because my personality had never changed and had previously been accepted and interpreted positively, I had no reason to believe it was suddenly unacceptable and that a narrative was being built. When I later became aware that a joke in the team group chat had been interpreted as disrespectful, I sent my coach a private apology and explained that disrespect had not been my intention. I did not receive a response. This shows that once aware of issues, I was willing to adjust, apologize and communicate. It also shows that my coach and his wife are incapable of direct communication. Shortly thereafter, my membership was terminated by phone. The decision was communicated by my coach's wife. I did not receive a direct explanation from the coach who had worked with me most closely, mentored me, and had been preparing me to compete. During the call, I requested a conversation to better understand the concerns, provide my perspective, and assess whether the situation could have been addressed differently. I was informed that the decision was final and not open for discussion. I was not given a warning, a clear opportunity to correct the behavior, or a detailed explanation prior to the termination of my membership and my involvement with the team. I felt betrayed and discarded by someone I looked up to, admired and wanted to make proud. To have someone you trust not deem you worthy of even a single conversation felt like the cruelest abuse of trust. The last thing said to me during that conversation was "I hope your next gym gets your sense of humor", which was just an unnecessary insult and clearly a veiled insult driven by a personal vendetta that I was not privy to. I understand that a privately owned academy has the authority to determine membership. My concern relates to how that authority was exercised. Concerns were discussed with someone close to me over a period of weeks while I was not informed. An opportunity for direct communication was not taken, my apology was not acknowledged, and the matter was concluded without a direct conversation with the coach who had mentored me. I remain appreciative of the training and relationships I developed while I was there. However, I would not recommend this academy to students--particularly veterans or others who rely on Jiu-Jitsu for structure and community--if they prioritize transparent communication, clear expectations, and an opportunity to address concerns before membership termination. Update following the response: I understand the decision not to discuss these supposedly existent "private details" in a public forum. However, the central concern in my review is that they also declined to discuss those concerns with me privately. I was not warned that there was an alleged "pattern of conduct", my apology was not acknowledged, and my request for a direct conversation with my coach was denied. Their response does not address that communication process, which remains the basis of my review. Do better, Steven.

My wife, my son and I all train at Atos San Antonio. My wife and I just started a few weeks ago…read moreand our son has been with Atos for over 6 months. My son started when he was 4 and now he is 5 and I can honestly say that we could not be more impressed.

He absolutely loves going to Atos, and I do mean every day Monday through Friday...and last Saturday he woke up and wanted to go for a 6th straight day. He tells me on the way to Atos that he just loves to go see his coaches and Professor Nuno. Anyone who reads this should feel completely assured that Professor Nuno and his staff will provide a safe and fun environment for your child...if you have any doubts, you are always welcome to sit and watch your child train...most of the parents do! Even though my wife and I are fairly new to training at Atos San Antonio, we have both already had an opportunity to learn some things about the environment for adults at Atos. The other members of the classes are extremely welcoming. Everyone helps each other and that begins on day 1. Professor Nuno provides a learning environment that is clean, safe and tailored to each student. Obviously I couldn't walk in on the first day and be expected to train on the same techniques as the more experienced students. I also need time to get in shape and that is respected and monitored to ensure I don't go beyond what I can handle. Professor Nuno will make sure that you build from the ground up if you are a beginner. If you already have experience, great, because I can promise you that the knowledge and training you are looking for are available here. Professor Nuno has trained and competed around the world at the highest levels and he will be eager to help you achieve your goals no matter how lofty they may be. No matter if you are looking to train, or know someone else who is, I encourage you to take a serious look at Atos San Antonio. Atos provides an opportunity for a person to receive world class instruction and I am confident that anyone who chooses to train here will have their expectations exceeded.
