Life changing experience! This is an amazing place and I thank God that he lead me to be a part of this team. Mike and Emma are excellent Jiu-jitsu instructors and great people. They have created a culture that makes you miss this place as soon as you leave. Thank you guys so much for what you have created and for everything you do for all of your students!! 💪🔥🥋
Went in for a free trial and had a great time! Felt very welcomed and everyone was so kind to me. The owners and teacher were all likable good people. If ur even thinking about maybe trying this place I’d say go for it! I’ll definitely be back in the future
10000% recomendada es una clase excelente para nuestro grupo de Homeschool en la cual asistimos pequeños desde los 3 años, les ayuda muchísimo al desarrollo de su motricidad gruesa, y lo mejor es que se divierten, todo en un entorno de amistad, empatía,responsabilidad y respeto.
Our kids ages 6,7,12,18 and my husband have been attending since August. They love it. It’s a clean facility, great instruction and they’re able to effectively teach and communicate our children some of who have adhd. We love their bilingual as well! The kids all love to go and enjoy professor Mike, Emma, and Erica! We’d recommend this place to anyone wanting to learn! It helps teach them discipline, confidence, and also how to defend themselves if they ever have too.
My kids love their coaches and all the activities they do at GFT while they gain strength, respect to others, self control and confidence!
When I was encouraged to start here back in June 2023, it was an uplifting experience. I only had very little to know experience in Brazilian jujitsu. It wasn’t until finding professors, Mike and Emma Martinez they’ve given me the strength and encouragement, as well as motivation to continuing, becoming a jujitsu practitioner, their dedication and devotion to their students is at best cannot say enough good things. I love their family oriented field above anything else? I strongly recommend it if you ever want to practice Ilion jujitsu with you and your family.
I can't speak highly enough about this gym. The training, culture, environment, people, and professors make this place what it is. Highly recommend!
My kids and husband have been participating and we are so happy with the experience. The professors are so kind and gentle with the kids when they need that, but can provide good firm guidance when that’s what is needed. It’s the perfect balance. My son learns best from direct instruction, rather than discovery, and that has been provided for him. They really make sure that they tailor the information provided for each learner. My husband jumped in and tried a class, and fell completely in love with the sport and gym. He’s gotten in great shape and feels really healthy and has a positive outlook. They speak English and Spanish at this gym, so your kids will be exposed to both languages as a bonus! You can see from my picture how loving the professor is for the kids. I highly recommend calling them for a trial class!
GFT San Antonio is an amazing gym to be a part of. I have been training here since May and I immediately was welcomed with open arms. Mike and Emma do an awesome job making this a family focused gym. If you are curious about BJJ or are looking for your new gym, I can’t recommend this gym enough. I drive from Boerne and pass multiple gyms along the way. The culture Mike and Emma foster make the drive more than worth it. They are extremely reasonable and always willing to work with your situation.
Mike and Emma are the best professors one could ask for. They are so kind and caring; it truly is a small family there at the gym. Everyone makes you feel welcome, and no one ever complains about anything. Everyone motivates each other to improve, which comes from how Professor Emma and Mike built their gym. I highly recommend this gym if you want to start, continue, or jump back into your jiu-jitsu routine.
This is hands down the best place for jiu jitsu in San Antonio! Whether you want to be a competitor or just a hobbyist this is the school you want to be. I’ve been training with professors Mike and Emma for over 2 years now and they have become a second family to me. They take the time to get to know each and every one of their students and always tailor their classes to the individuals who are there that day. The prices are super affordable and the gym is always clean. Come out and be a part of the best bjj school around.
Mike and Emma truly are the best and care about you succeeding and especially in training and the kid’s classes are amazing
Highly recommend GFT San Antonio if you’re looking for a place to start or continue your jiujitsu training Professor Mike and professor Emma are highly knowledgeable, very welcoming and friendly They make the training enjoyable and make everybody feel welcome and included in the gym family and all the members are also welcoming and willing to help The facility is modern and the mats are always well kept and clean The pricing is very affordable as well compared to other places All in all, I definitely recommend this gym for adults and kids
Professor Mike and Professor Emma are the best! Great environment and team.
Best kids academy in San Antonio! Be sure to stop in if it's your first class or just visiting! Military and Law Enforcement discounts. Very flexible schedule and great instruction by all the professors and coaches!
The professors were kind enough to teach my army unit in a private session. Very professional and knowledgeable. And the gym is obviously kept very clean.
Great atmosphere with a clean and fresh mats. The instructors are exceptional and very available. They will help you with whatever you need and ensure you understand any technique that was taught.
This is a great place to learn jiu jitsu. There are a nice variety of classes in the morning, lunch, or evening with varying skill levels (as well as kids classes). My professors are both black belts, and they both teach at our class so we get a lot of attention to help us learn.
Amazing Academy. I love this place for my daughters. They make everyone feel welcome and it has become a second home to our family. Thank you GFTeam San Antonio.
Highly recommend! I was able to drop in to GFTeam while traveling and felt super welcome. The coaches are knowledgeable and fun to learn from. Everyone I’ve met there and trained with were awesome.

Big mat space, clean, friendly smiles, killer rolls.
The gym is clean and spacious. It is my 2nd home! The owners are friendly and welcoming. The kids' coach is passionate about the children. She tries to help them all feel included and respected while having fun. Professor Bruno is a great! He believes jiu jitsu is for everyone and it is obvious in his communication and in his teaching. He wants to help his students achieve their personal goals whether it is to lose weight, be a champion or to just enjoy a hobby.

If you want to learn Jiujitsu this is the place
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1) World Class Instructor, staff and team 2) The staff/team works as a family caring about lifting all those around them 3) They understand everyone is on a different journey - you want to compete, great / you want to just learn and not compete, great (no pressure). 4) You're not sure? As long as you try, they believe in you until you do. 5) Your results are directly correlated to your effort and consistency. 6) Egos are checked at the door. We are here to learn, not beat each other up. 7) You will have good days and bad days on your journey. It is analogous to life...With perseverance, the bad days pass and the good days give you elation. Never give up. 8) They keep the gym clean and members self regulate if they are not feeling well. If the person is sick, they don't come to the gym. 9) Commit and grow - you won't regret trying them or joining. 10) The only thing stopping you is you. The door is open, give them a try.
I love Bruno he’s such a great instructor and he understands his students and the energy in the gym is good everyone is just trying to get better

Best gym in Texas to train,world class instructors and friendly environment for kids and adults. Whether you wanna be a world champion or just get in shape,this is the place.
Their kids program is top notch with actual black belts on the mats with the kids. The adults class is the same - very high level training and there is a great mix of men and women in all age groups. You don’t have to want to be a competitor to train here - all goals are welcome! Lose weight, get in shape, hang out with good people - whatever your goals are this place will have something for you.
Amazing training atmosphere, everyone is super friendly and humble, excellent jiujitsu training for high level or beginners and super clean facilities!! Recommended 100%
Amazing facility, staff and environment. The school has provided a welcoming environment for a first time martial artist.
An amazing place to train with a world class instructor and a close team who is welcoming to both the competitive scene as well as those who train more recreationally.
