Looking for Martial Arts & Jiu Jitsu Classes in Dallas? Look no further than 5 Elements Studio! Get fit and learn self-defense.
Training at 5 Elements has been a wonderful experience! The staff and students create such a welcoming and supportive environment, making it a great place for all skill levels. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, everyone is accommodating and encouraging. The sense of community makes every class enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking to train BJJ.
Awesome and friendly environment! I’m a brown belt gym owner from Oklahoma, I dropped in and didn’t let anyone know i was a brown belt or gym owner to see how I was treated and I felt very welcome! The professor was very welcoming and treated me like one of his students! Not to mention he had awesome jiu jitsu and has a really good game. If I’m ever back in the area I will for sure drop in again!
Has been great as a person who formally trained when I was younger I’ve really enjoyed the high standard of training provided. Great coaches and easy location
This is a great for not only kids but the whole family, there are variety of classes so you can find a class that fits your schedule. Coaches are there to help with any questions you may have. It is also a great place if you want to get in shape, and challenge yourself.
As a newbie to the Muay Thai and Jiu Jit Su world I was a little nervous getting into it. I can tell you that Geraldo and Charles really seem to love what they teach and its not all about flash. They really preach technique and form and challenge you (which I enjoy) in the post training exercises and overall class as a whole. I would highly recommend this Dojo to anyone who is wanting to dive into the profession with no experience and who wants to learn a new valuable skill.
I was bored of regular gym classes (they're ultimately all the same) when I found kickboxing 5 elements. It's really high quality training, you're getting actual skills, and the coaches are amazing and true experts (especially coach Charles). It's really easy to stay engaged and is an unbeatable workout. I also lost over 20 pounds on the nutrition program they offer, built good eating habits -- I cannot recommend them enough!!
Ran by Coach Gerardo for BJJ and Coach Tony and Charles for kickboxing. Very knowledgeable and kind instructors!
One thing I look out for at a dojo is a safe, humble environment and 5 elements delivers.
Don't get me wrong, they will push you but they will work with you at your pace. There are no criticisms or attitude, just positive encouragement.
There is sparring and rounds and you will feel nervous and anxious about it. You're not forced to do it, but it does fill you with accomplishment and pride after you do get through it.
I can't express enough how happy and grateful I am for enrolling my kids here. They have not only learned self defence but also discipline, teamwork and respect to peers and elders.
My 7 year old son loves taking classes with Gerardo at 5 Elements, to the point that he would rather go to class on Saturday mornings than sleep in! He has gained a new level of confidence, made many new friends and is working hard at something that he is seeing progress from himself. The instructors work great with the kids and are patient regardless of the level of experience or age. I can’t say enough good things about 5 Elements.
So grateful to have this gym family in my corner. Coach Geraldo and Justin take their time to work with you. They’re always open and inviting to everyone so I love bringing new friends here!
I’ve also been working with Justin Healy one on one for a while. I love that he teaches BJJ in way that is adaptive to the individual athlete. It feels validating to know certain moves don’t work for my body type and that I can find my own way that fits me. He teaches concepts before he just teaches the moves. So grateful I get to work with him!!!
5 Elements is an excellent workout and training facility. Gerardo Mulas, owner and director, is outstanding in the direction he provides with serious training. If you are interested in a facility that is not a social gathering spot but rather a workout facility to improve your physical condition this is your place. If it is your goal to improve flexibility, strength, agility, kick boxing skills, jiu-jitsu, this is your spot.Gerardo gets you to a point by working you to a higher level than you think you can obtain. He does this by knowing your capabilities and working within your comfort level. He does a great job with all age groups. After a workout you know you have really worked out and have accomplished something positive.
Gerardo is a great coach, you can tell he truly loves what he does. This is a great place to train and learn. My 12 year old son enjoys the classes and Gerardo explains the skills in great detail. Highly recommend this gym for first timers and experienced athletes.
They do a amazing job with kids. Kids are learning how to be brave, be respectful and defend themselves. Cough Geraldo is firm and lovely with the kiddos. Great leader.
This is an excellent place for accomplishing a lot of goals, from the various martial arts to general fitness, weight training and even a healthier diet. I'm really happy with the progress I've made during my time here.
I've been coming here since June of this year, and I have absolutely loved every second of it. I am obsessed with BJJ now, and the guys here have made it so great. They are patient and make me want to come back. I can't sleep the night before I go in because I am so excited for my training. **** BONUS: I have lost 40 pounds in just 6 months of coming here!!!! **** I recommend anyone that has struggled to find a routine to give this a shot, you will be hooked for life!
5 Elements is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I have had an incredible experience here. I constantly look forward to attending classes. I am very glad that I decided to come to 5 Elements to continue my training.

Awesome gym, highly recommend, can’t say better things about my experience training here
My family and I love the 5 Elements, their coaches (professor) and community. It doesn't matter what skill level you're at there are always great training partners to help develope your own. Joining was one of the best decisions we've made together. Not only have my children become more confident within themselves but continue to strive for greatness and success. We definitely look forward to our training every week as we continue to make Jiu Jitsu part of our lifestyle. Highly recommend!💯💪🏽💎
Great gym, great culture. Whether you are training for fitness, self defense skills, or competition. This gym has a healthy group of practitioners who fit your category and those who do not are willing to pace up or down to be good training partners.
This place is amazing! Everyone is so friendly and supportive. I started taking kickboxing classes here a couple months ago - my first kickboxing classes ever. I came in with an injured shoulder so I wasn't expecting to actually be able to take classes yet but the coach assured me that I could do it and gave me modifications. It felt great to participate and workout even though I was injured. Highly recommend 5 Elements - they can work with all levels and conditions of students, very impressive!
Absolutely great gym full of amazing people, professors are very committed and welcoming. Great to learn self defense or if you’re already experienced to get a lot of tough rounds and upgrade your game.

Very pleasant culture, laid back, no egos, but still focuses on hard work and consistency creates progress and reward
I had an amazing time visiting 5 Elements Studio! Gerardo Mulas, his staff and students were extremely welcoming, kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend training here if you live in the area and come check out the Saturday Open Mat.
My son (10 year old) absolutely loves attending classes here! I can definitely see his growth and break out of his shell. It’s been an amazing experience all thanks to Coach Sebastian and Coach Gerardo. He always looks forward to class.
5 elements offers great adult jiu-jitsu and kickboxing classes. Professor Gerardo and coach Sebastian are very knowledgeable an helpful. Excellent place to learn martial arts.
Hello everyone. My son learned Jiu-Jitsu here for a month. Coach Gerardo and his team are very professional and patient. My 4 years old son was not confident at first. Now he is enjoying the lessons here and his technique is improving every week. I think this is the best place for kids to learn jiu jitsu & self defense!
спасибо тренер !!!
thank you coach
Tried 5 elements on a whim for our 7 year old and fell in love with Jujitsu! Our daughter has benefited so much from the training and environment provided by the studio and staff. Can’t say enough good about this place!
Coming from a beginner at kickboxing, I’m extremely impressed with 5 Elements Studio and its staff. It’s a great place to workout and develop skills in various martial arts. It has excellent, highly skilled coaches that care about the students, bring great energy to every session, and are capable of teaching students of all ages and skill levels.
I enrolled my 6 yr old son at 5 Elements in December primarily with hopes of improving his coordination and gross motor skills. And wow! while his growth in these areas has been apparent, he’s gaining so much more. He’s made new friends and becoming more self assured and disciplined. To their credit Coach Gerardo and Coach Sebastian maintain a friendly learning environment and make their classes fun. Most impressive is their ability to distill complex moves down for children. The language they use, the explanations they provide, the one on one time they give conveys the technical at a kid’s level. I’ve described to family and friends the ways in which my son has grown and how fortunate we are to have found 5 Elements. The coaches have the necessary skill set as accomplished black belts, more than this it’s their unique ability to connect with children and teach that sets them apart from other instructors.
5 elements is an awesome studio with great instructors — I started taking kickboxing and jiu jitsu classes to improve my fitness while challenging myself. They are very supportive, have a great community and provide incredible workouts. Highly recommend!
We are so happy that we found 5 Elements Studio, my son loves it. We really wanted to find something that would get him out of his shell and jujitsu has done that. The coaches are amazing, they have so much patience with the kids and make sure to take the time to ensure every child has understood what they’re doing before moving on. I can’t wait to see how much more my son grows with this program.

Excelente, enseñan disciplina y respeto, un personal muy preparado.
Love the kickboxing classes at 5 elements! Very challenging yet so much fun!! All the instructors continuously do a fantastic job! Even if you start as a beginner, they’ll adjust the exercises to fit your level and bring you to the next level!
I just started as a beginner. I need a way to stay in shape without over exerting myself for my age. Since I joined this community, I already feel part of the family. I also have a bigger motivation to continue learning the craft and stay fit at the same time. Can't stop now! " SKIES THE LIMIT "
Gerardo is a great instructor. 1st week of classes have been very productive. His personality contributes to a great gym culture as well. Everybody is friendly.
He gives the opportunity to try his classes before you commit, so I would step in and see what you think.
Very safe, friendly environment.
The beauty of it is, it's cuzy place so I do have a change to get excellent interaction with professor and he's very much paying attention to everyone, knowing everyone with name and it's absolutely like a home and family.
Very European style which I really like.
Clean and organize.
I definitely recommend this place for starting jiujitsu journey.
Professor Gerardo is very professional, effective and easy going and friendly.
I always have a great time.
An absolutely amazing jiujitsu, yoga and fitness studio with amazing people who care about your safety, growth, and success day in and day out. A studio for both kids and adults, the coaches are very kind and attentive to all students, and they provide amazing leadership and expertise in fitness yoga and jiujitsu from beginners to seasoned practitioners alike. I'm so happy to have discovered 5 Elements Studio.
My hope is you will too. You'll be happy you did.
Coaches Gerado and Sebastian are total pros and amazing to train with. I always look forward to our sessions and my wife and son also train at the studio, so it is a family affair…

Excellent instruction! Came in for a drop in, and could not have had a better experience!
I had my 6 yr olds birthday party here. Gerardo and Sebastian were WONDERFUL! All the kids had so much fun and the parents were happy that the kids were doing something active! I couldn’t recommend 5 Elements more!
I have been going for 3 weeks now and my experience has been great. The atmosphere of the group makes class very enjoyable. Learning a ton every class while getting a great workout. Would highly recommend !
Really great place for beginners and people with experience. Not only are the classes fun and entertaining, the people are amazing. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing, yoga, or even just a reason to stay in shape. I could not be happier that I found this place.
We are very happy we found 5 elements studio. we have been coming for about 4 months now and my daughter has loved it so much. It’s helped her to be more social and open up in speaking up for herself. It has also help her push herself and show her she is capable of doing what she set her mind to. Coach Sebastian is amazing with her and has help her out in being confident. Love this place and hope she grows up to keep loving it.
Joining 5 elements has been an awesome experience. Coach Gerardo is an incredible jui jitsu instructor and has created a very welcoming environment at 5 elements. It’s a great place if you’re looking to challenge yourself alongside an awesome group of people! Coach Gerardo is welcoming of people at all levels in their jui jitsu/fitness journey. I highly recommend training at 5 elements!
The best studio in Dallas..
My son enjoys every moment, he never misses a day.
He has learned so much.
Definitely the best coaches In Dallas I highly recommend the studio.

Great coach and great environment. Good mix of training technical and getting some good rolling in.
Real attention is rare these days and I think that’s what sets this studio apart. Coach Sebastian is a naturally gifted teacher with an incredible ability to pay attention to everyone in class simultaneously. For example, he’ll call me out from across the room - “breathe with each punch Jacob” while he works with another classmate because he’s listening and just that tuned in. Also, on a recent inclement weather day when I was the only one to show up for class, Coach Gerardo (the owner) took the time to focus one-on-one and hone technique with me. It’s always a great workout and a positive atmosphere.
I started 7 or 8 months ago and I’m very pleased with the results. I can crawl around on the floor and under the table with my twin toddlers now, no sweat. This place has made a huge difference for me, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
My time at 5 elements has been such a joyful gratifying experience. Professor Gerardo is so technical and patient while demonstrating positions. This academy offer a wide range of skill level from kids classes to competition Jiu jitsu and everything in between. Yoga with professor Gerardo is so relaxing and great way to start your morning. Coach Sebastian is a great striking coach and offers amazing strength and conditioning classes.
I’ve trained jiu jitsu on and off for several years now and was, quite frankly, ready to give up on it after several moves and a few nagging injuries. After moving to Dallas from Florida I found 5 Elements and decided to give it one last shot.. and I’m so happy I did! Gerardo and his school has helped me fall in love with the sport again. Great atmosphere, great energy, great people! Highly recommend to anyone looking into any of the programs offered there!
Came to Texas for a month and wanted to try a class that would challenge me physically and mentally, while simultaneously feeling supported. I tried the kickboxing class and the yoga and movement and both are wonderful classes. The instructors are very supportive and the environment is welcoming. Wish I could take these classes with me to California!
Joining 5 elements has been the best thing I have done! The instructor has taught me alot over the past month I am starting to see a difference and can see improvement towards my goal!
My 4yo started training w Coach Gerard, Indio and Sebastian 6 weeks ago. His focus, respect and discipline have improved exponentially. So much so that I was inspired by my son to start training in Jiu-Jitsu w the excellent 5 Elements studio team. Professional, kind, instructive and patient. Highly recommended. Thank you team!
Great classes with a great coaches for BJJ, kickboxing and yoga. Training includes emphasis on technique and a lot of conditioning.
The gym is not massive, leading to the coaches paying a lot of attention to the individual students. Would highly recommend it.
I was very lucky to see the new Five Elements Studio on my drive home one day. Gerardo was super responsive and reached out to me very quickly after inquiring about a workout class. I highly recommend doing some personal training classes at first. Gerardo is great about customizing the workout, teaching the basics, and changing the workout each time. It’s always a challenge and an awesome workout session. The group classes are really good too, so there’s something for everyone.

Fantastic studio. Great attention to detail and feedback, mats cleaned after every class.
Coach Gerardo (the owner) and Coach Sebastion are very knowledgeable and provide amazing classes for both kids and adults alike. Their attention to detail is unmatched and helps every student thrive.
I am only in Dallas for a month and decided to take up jiu jitsu. I am so happy and thankful that I chose 5 Elements Jiu jitsu. The atmosphere is very positive and respectful. Gerardo demonstrates attention to detail not only in his instructions on the mat but also on the way he handles his business. In two weeks I have lost weight and feel more confident to defend myself and my family if needed. 5 Elements is the real deal!

Such a great gym! Great coaching and pace for beginners and experienced.
My son and I enjoyed our time here at 5 Elements. The instructors are knowledgeable and extremely patient with my now 4yr old. He learned so much and gained friends as well. If we ever move back to the area I will for sure enroll him again!
I started training here a couple weeks ago since I was interested in practicing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu again after not having practiced for a few years. When I came to my first class, Gerardo, the owner and instructor, made me feel welcomed as a beginner white belt in his studio. After my first experience, I knew I’d want to continue training here at 5 Elements, not only because I could feel I got a killer full-body workout in by the end of the session, but because everyone I got to train with including other students were all very positive and supportive, while I learned new moves and techniques I’d never done before. They made coming to classes fun for me and something I always look forward to now!!
Coach Gerardo and the entire team are fantastic! My 5 year old loves coming to his classes and I have definitely have seen an improvement in his toughness as that is something we are working on. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and love of this sport! We appreciate you greatly and definitely recommend this place to others looking to join.
I love 5 Elements Studio. I take my kids and they have fun. Also coach is so patient with those kiddos. Even if there’s a closer place to where I live, I’d still choose 5 Elements
Gerardo the owner is very knowledgable about exercise and nutrition. The personal trainer I worked with Sebastian was great to work with and I plan on returning.
Loved the gym here. They offer great beginner classes for fitness and also more skill focused opportunities for more advanced folks. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. Has a family vibe. Highly recommend to try it out!
Totally found a place to explore new passions!!!! Not only is he becoming more disciplined but determined! The hard work in kickboxing is transferring to school work! I highly recommend this class and studio!!!! Tell them Lori sent you👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
5 elements is an excellent studio! Gerardo, one of the most dedicated entrepreneurs I have ever met, runs the gym with great charisma and expertise. The facility has everything you could need and is kept in excellent condition. I highly encourage anyone interested to drop by to meet Gerardo & Sebastian!
I couldn't be happier with choosing 5 Elements! Gerardo Mulas has been extremely patient and helpful, and he also relates his teachings to real world examples. I leave feeling accomplished even as a novice.
Five Elements is a fantastic place to train! It’s a great learning environment for all skill levels. The coach is great and gives you the tools you need to develop your own style of BJJ.
I’ve always been an enthusiast of movement and Martial Arts. While I’m able to pick up a lot of things intuitively, BJJ is not one of them.
After my first class on the mat with Coach Gerardo Mulas, Coach Tony & Coach Sebastian with a beastly kickboxing workout..
I’m hooked. Thank you guys and I would love to see all of you prosper.
5 Elements Studio is a fantastic facility offering first class martial arts instruction from kickboxing to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Whether you are a novice or an expert, Head Instructor Gerardo has the skill and most importantly the passion to ensure you reach your practice and fitness goals. All of the equipment at 5 Elements is brand new and cleanliness is a virtue as everything is pristine from the restroom to the mats!
I am impressed with the instruction my kids are receiving. In addition to great martial arts instruction stretching, breathing, and mindfulness are incorporated as well. 5 Elements is exceeding my expectations.

Fun and professional environment! Gerardo's friendly nature is welcoming and immediately puts you at ease about learning something new.

His passion for teaching shows when he takes the time to explain concepts in drills to help you increase your skill set. I highly recommend 5 Elements Studio for kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu or just overall wellness!

Great open atmosphere, technical instruction, good group of folks training.
Absolutely outstanding gym! Very professional staff. Highly disciplined, attentive to each participant.
If you are looking for excellent instruction go no further. They also have wonderful programs for kids.
We absolutely love it here! My son does the kids classes and I have been doing the kickboxing and conditioning classes. Great instructor as well who makes sure you are doing your form correct and understand the workouts/moves.
This studio is amazing! Gerardo is very knowledgeable and professional. He offers a variety of classes covering yoga, strength training and martial arts. The studio is always clean and is conveniently located off of Central Express Way near Uptown Dallas. Call now if you want to change the way you feel!!
Gerardo is an amazing trainer! I’ve only seen him about 4 times and I already feel like I’ve learned so much. He really puts his time into perfecting every little thing there is to know. I didn’t have gloves my first couple of times going, but I was super stoked that he had some for me. Gerardo is very genuine so if you’re doing something wrong he won’t hesitate to make it perfect. Definitely recommend 👍
Gerardo Mulas provides excellent instruction in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, bringing decades of very high level training in multiple martial arts and innovative mobility to the class. Be prepared for a workout when you come! I very much recommend 5 Elements Studio.
I paid for one month of yoga classes, attended twice. I was charged for 3 additional months which I never agreed to. The owner never contacted me to resolve issues. Forged receipts. Overpriced very mediocre yoga!
It's a shame that this studio's ratings are so high. DESERVES 0 STARS
