7035 Greenville Ave #101a, Dallas, TX 75231, USA
Conveniently located in Dallas, our martial arts classes are excellent choices for self-defense, discipline, and fitness for all ages & fitness levels.
I’ve been training for a little over a year at New Concept and have nothing but good things to say about the gym, owners, and coaches. I had no training experience so I was nervous to start. The coaches and members made me feel welcome from the start. I train for a workout and to learn self defense but we have competitors who have had success in the same class as me. Everybody has the same opportunities and the coaches don’t neglect the students that aren’t competing. If you want to compete, the coaches will help you get where you need to be. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with my experience and look forward to continuing to learn new skills while having fun and making friends.
Came through for an event with Professor Lovato. Great turnout, plenty of rounds at the end, good folks. Definitely come check it out!
I have been training with coach Caleb for almost a year now and I can not think of a better gym than New Concept. If you’re looking to compete, self defense, or even just to exercise, this is the gym for you. My jujitsu knowledge has skyrocketed since joining and I’m excited for my future with this gym!
Great place , very welcoming and quality jiu jitsu
NewConcept is a great jiu jitsu gym that truly makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, with both instructors and fellow members always ready to offer a helping hand and support. The coaches, Caleb, Amanda, and Jesse are highly skilled and passionate about teaching, ensuring that you receive top-notch training regardless of your skill level. Overall, NewConcept is an excellent place to train, grow, and be part of a supportive jiu jitsu family.
The team at New Concept are building something really special there. They have created a culture that is super open and welcoming to all skill levels and especially patient with beginners such as myself. I feel comfortable and have learned so much. Amanda is one of the most positive and uplifting women I’ve ever met - I’ve never met a woman who empowers and builds up other women so much and as a result, the gym has a large and growing female presence. Great place to learn, practice your skills and a great community with great coaches!
Awesome place to train. Great instruction from the coach and lots of great training partners. I will definitely return whenever I’m in town
This place is so friendly and inviting! They do an amazing job instructing the class and keeping pace with all levels. They give good, real time feedback and are focused on improving foundational skills. I have loved every minute I have been part of this place!
Very friendly and professional place to train. Everyone makes you feel welcomed
Best BJJ gym I’ve ever been to! I love the community, instructors, and culture.
I have been going to this gym consistently for 7 months. All instructors are very knowledgeable and the students are good people. This is a great place to start practicing jujitsu or, if experienced, bring yourself to the next level.
I recommend New Concept BJJ to everyone regardless if they’re looking to get into a martial arts or open to trying new ways to stay healthy. The style of learning in this gym is unmatched, it’s the perfect balance with learning and applying knowledge. ANNNND! Not only are the coaches amazing and have immeasurable knowledge, the members that go are very welcoming and supportive as well! This gym is a GEM!
Great new gym! Dropped in last minute and they were more than happy to welcome me to their mats. Facilities are great, not just a bathroom made out of a closet like a lot of places. Really nice place and nice people, will be back for no gi Wednesday!
I have been with new concept for a little less than a year, but I have still grown here than any other gym or coach
Had been thinking about starting jiu jitsu for a couple years now and just never had the courage or opportunity. Finally saw ann advertisement on IG for New Concept BJJ’s grand opening and decided to give it a try. For someone with no martial arts experience, this place has been a great fit. Caleb and Amanda do a great job to make sure each class is tailored for beginners all the way to higher class belts. Everyone in the training sessions have been great peers that not only build your confidence, but they also challenge you. All in all, a great place to learn more about yourself and to grown. Highly recommend joining. Or at least come in for a class to try it out and make your own decision.
I've had an incredible experience in Gi class at New Concept Brazilian Jiujitsu with Coach Jesse Palmer. Jesse's dedication to driving improvement is unmatched; his tough yet detailed approach to instruction has truly elevated my skills. The atmosphere here is welcoming, making it the perfect place to learn and grow in Brazilian jiujitsu. I also highly recommend Coach Caleb's no-gi class. As a meticulous and methodical brown belt, he provides excellent instruction for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. His gentle demeanor shines, but be ready for an intense workout when sparring with him. Seriously. It's the best no-gi class I've attended. Free trial available on the website. Come join us.
As a LEO. Definitely recommend !! Staff / Coaches / Instructors Professional, Educated, Skilled, and have PATIENCE ! This is one of the best spots in DFW area to begin your journey of Jiujitsu. They are eager to teach, and encouraging to push you to discover new things about yourself. Building a better you!
Caleb and Amanda were great! Caleb is very focused with his instruction I learned a lot from him. Highly recommend
New Concept has been an amazing gym. The coaches bring a welcoming and careful attention to every member of all experiences. The community with the members is also great with zero intimidation and ego, which was an initial barrier for me who wanted to build new skills without the intentions of being competitive.
10/10 recommend signing up for jiujitsu at New Concept! As a female I naturally have to work harder to have the strength to defend myself and even then, there will always be bigger and stronger people out there. Since starting BJJ at New Concept I have learned valuable skills and techniques that help me have the upper hand despite biological differences! While I am still new and learning, my confidence in my abilities grows every day. BJJ has challenged me in ways I haven’t been before. I am no natural which is extremely humbling coming from a perfectionist. 😅 But the satisfaction that comes when I am able to put the fundamentals and techniques into action that I have spent time drilling is something you just can’t put into words. All coaches— Caleb, Jesse, and Mandy, bring a unique and strategic approach to newbies like me and advanced athletes. Whether you have experience in MMA, other sports, or none at all, you will feel welcome, supported, and encouraged at New Concept! If I can do it, so can you!
New Concepts has been our first experience in BJJ and we have been so happy. Our daughter has really flourished under Coach Mandy and it has been such a positive experience. Thank you to Coach Mandy, Coach Caleb and Amanda for making this so welcoming and positive.
New Concept houses the best coaches in Dallas hands down! 🙌 best family/team environment I’ve ever been a part of. I’m most impressed by Coach Caleb’s detailed and practical approach to high level skill development.
great place to train. ALL the instructors are phenomenal. They helped me grow physically and mentally. Dont pass up the opportunity to train with Jesse, caleb, and mandy. Ive known jesse a long time and he has helped me grow inside and outside the gym. The coaches/staff at new concept truly care for their members.
This is a great facility that is conveniently located. Coach Caleb, Jesse, and Mandy are truly among the best I have encountered in all my years in jiujitsu. Down to earth but committed to excellence at the same time.
Great school with a very welcoming environment. Totally recommend it to jiujitsu people of all levels.
New Concept BJJ is perfect for anyone interested in fitness, self-defense, or developing an effective ground game for competition. World-class instruction in grappling is only a small part of what New Concept offers, and they are continually expanding their programs to include more than just elite ground game. Truly, a gym that improves as you improve.
Coach Jesse and Coach Caleb have amazing skills and teaching techniques. Whether you are a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu novice or expert, I think you will enjoy NC BJJ. Great profesional atmosphere and camaraderie.
Mandy is an awesome coach and an even better person!!!
Mandy is an amazing coach and training partner! My daughter has trained with her and has benefited so much from her skill and expertise. Would highly recommend this gym and her training and leadership.
The kids are lucky to have my friend and teammate. Many S as a coach. She is a phenomenal competitor with an absolute passion for the sport. She has a high value skillset combined with an amazing work ethic. These are all traits that are highly important to your children. Mandy will be a valuable addition to the coaching staff.
Mandy is a phenomenal coach, my two kids (11F and 6M) have been with Mandy for 4 years. She is patient, firm, technical, and instills valuable knowledge for life on and off the mats. Her personal example of strength and poise serve as a powerful role model, especially for my daughter.
Ms. Mandy Schneider is not only an excellent kids coach but an outstanding teammate and friend. She has great credentials and New Concept has chosen a great athlete and coach for this class!!
I can tell you I have worked with Coach Caleb and he is an excellent instructor. I struggled at the beginning because of my size and weight and he definitely found alternatives and a way to use my weight to my advantage. Excellent instructor and just all around good guy.
great atmosphere and world class professors equals unsurpassed training at any leval from white to black you will learn BJJ to be competent at any gym in the US, hands down the best gym i ever trained.
Top quality Jiu-Jitsu and people are what I’ve experienced in this gym. I’m very thankful to train here.
I have been training here for 6 months.Great passionate coaches that are still currently competing. The students are great and friendly.
This is a great gym to practice jujitsu art in Dallas! I visited from out of town and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Thank you professor Igor Paiva, Curtis and the rest of the team for accepting me and teaching me your killer techniques. Also, best of luck to professor Igor Paiva on his next upcoming competition. I can't wait to visit you guys in Dallas and roll together again.
Ótima qualidade, pessoas muito profissionais, com destaque para Igor Paiva. Recomendo muito.
The best Jiu Jitsu school ever!!
The best place to learn and training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in USA!
Here you learn the real Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the best of all. Extremely qualified professionals. I recommend this academy to everyone, whoever goes there will not regret it.
Excellent professionals!!
Best Jiu-jitsu academy in the region! Highly qualified teachers who are attentive to all students. I recommend with eyes closed for everyone! Structure, teaching method, attention and dedication of all!
OSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! 👊🏻
Clean space and very friendly staff, professor Igor was great and very thoughtful, good for kids and adults
Very quick to answer questions and very professional.
Great people and great place! 😁😁😁
Great BJJ, love rolling with these guys at open mats. Really good competition.
Tank and Igor are world class instructors that have vastly improved my game. Opens mats on Saturday are always a good time too
Amazing new gym! If you have been thinking about giving jiu jitsu a try, do it here!!! Family environment, kids classes, beginner and advanced classes, and an amazing place to hang out!
We have been absolutely impressed by this facility. We drive 45 min everyday for our kid to train here.. All of the professors have been great with teaching our 7 year old daughter the basic steps as well as complex moves. It's like being a part of an instant family when you walk in the door. We have been extremely grateful to be a part of this Soul Fighters community. Would refer to all we know who are interested.
I met Professor Mendes as he was coaching his brother, Tanquinho, at ADCC 2019. If you train with Professor Mendes, you train with the same person that coached the 2019 ADCC champion. He is a mannered and nice human being, that will never stop sending you great vibes when you meet him. If you live in Dallas, my advice is to visit his school and spend some time with him. You will not regret it.
I got a chance to visit this school from out of town and the team was extremely welcoming even while they were busy kicking my butt. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. As a side note, they also had a really nice and clean gym!
I've been training with Igor and part of the soulfighters affiliation for almost 2 years now and I have never felt more at home with a gym. Soulfighters has world class proffessors that actually care about their students and their goals and progress. Soulfighters treats you like family and I couldn't ask for a better place to train! If you've been jumping around trying to find a gym, look no further, I'm sure you'll love it here!
Great school with knowledgeable professional staff. The instructors do an excellent job of layering instruction, focusing on details that increase the compression of the techniques at all levels. The environment is positive and friendly. Great place to train. If your looking for a place to train look no further.
Love at first sight. When you walk in, you’re welcomed by the monochromatic color scheme, uplifting and encouraging quotes throughout, and a clean open atmosphere. Soul Fighters Highland Park is Instructed by world champions and they are very versatile and patient in their method of instruction. They offer kids and adult classes and they treat everyone, regardless of belt level or experience, with the same respect. Jiu Jitsu is a family so no matter what how long you plan to train, trial period to years, they’re invested.
Beautiful, immaculate facility and Soulfighters is a top notch team! Professors Tank and Igor are great instructors to work with. I look forward to visiting again when I’m back in town!
If you want to learn some martial arts, this is the place to go. The professors are the best and they treat you like family. They really know there stuff and will teach you and are always helping.
The atmosphere at this school is very welcoming & the instructors are top notch and extremely professional. The facilities are amazing as well! Drop in and check them out, you will not be disappointed!
Professor Tank is an Exceptional and highly talented coach and teacher. I would highly recommend for jujitsu training and if your just looking for a unique and different way of working out. This is the spot! 🔥
Igor is an excellent teacher for any age student. He is patient and very supportive. My son has excelled in all aspects of jiu jitsu from his training with Igor.
Best BJJ Professors and instructors! Not only are they top level in terms of technique and coaching but they make everyone around them better people because they are compassionate and believe in helping others. You will immediately feel like family when you walk in here. Whatever your goals are wether fitness, weight loss or competition, they will support and help you. This is the best place to train in the area!
Very knowledgeable and professional training staff. This academy offers high level training at a rate far below it's true value. The instructors have the ability to meet and exceed the needs of all types of practitioners, from stay at home parent hobbyist to works champion enthusiast. Highly recommended!!!!
Great place to train. Excellent teaching. Clean facility. Will definitely train there again when in town.
This gym is beautiful and very family oriented. Bruno Tank Mendes, Igor Paiva and Jordan Burton III are some of the best professors in DFW for kids and adults. My daughter has been training with these amazing professors for 3+years. The great thing about this school is that you can choose to be a competitor or train jiu jitsu just for yourself and your well being. You can go to class or do private lessons or do both. The same goes for kids. If you've never tried jiu jitsu, you definitely should. It will change your life. These three professors are some of the most positive and kind people I know. Go try a class, you will love it.
Amazing atmosphere with instructors who have a heart for their students!
Soul Fighters is an amazing group of people to train with. Whether you are looking to compete, learn to defend yourself or just want a great workout, you will find a welcoming environment in the Soul Fighters gym!
I was able to visit this Academy while Tanquinho Mendes was giving a NoGi Seminar. Their were many Blackbelts not just attending, but also lending aid with instructions to the many attendees. The experience was definitely excellent, and if I lived in the area, I would most definitely train here. Wanted to drop in and give a rating of 5 stars for making my experience such an amazing one. Thank you.
Great organization with high level competitors and high level Black Belts... I highly recommend stopping by and taking advantage of learning Brazilian JiuJitsu from some of the most knowledgeable Professors in the sport... Great environment to train for the day one student to the seasoned competitor...
It’s a really wonderful place to train, the staff and professor are very friendly and helpful!!! I really recommend this place, I come from Odessa and my son and I visit this place for training and it's awesome!! You always learn something new in Bjj!! This is a place where My kid feels good to go because of the coaches, they made learning fun and that’s really important in martial arts, you have got to love what you teach and that is definitely the case in here!!!
World class instructors, good atmosphere!
This is an amazing group of instructors providing top notch instruction in a family friendly atmosphere. If you're looking for high level martial arts training or just a unique way to get in shape then you've come to the right place!
World class instructors, facility, and most important people.
Have not been yet but able to follow the process of opening up in Instagram . I have trained personally with professor “Tank” Mendes however and he is a wealth of knowledge. He is a coach of world champions including his brother who one a no gi world championship in THE most prestigious tournament out there. More important than this is he is one of the nicest guys out there with an amazing heart. He lives by the motto of “we rise by lifting others”. Perfect place to start you Jiu-Jitsu journey
I have been a Soul Fighter for over 2 years and met many different members from all over the country. The quality of people and training can easily be seen by the performance in competitions and through visiting one of the locations. The leaders are extremely skilled and helpful, a level above a lot of other gyms I have seen. On top of that, Soul Fighters are some of the friendliest people you can meet. So proud to be a part of the family!
Proud to be affiliated with this studio. The education and environment fostered by the entire Soul Fighter organization is the best in the business.
Great place to train! Best Academy in the area with the most experienced Professors.
Awesome facility. Professor Bruno is an awesome instructor. I highly recommend when in the area.
Great place to train. The facility is top notch and the professors and coaches do their best to help the students continue to grow and achieve their goals.
Soul Fighters is the place to be. Enrich your life by coming here. 5/5 would recommend!
I am a blue belt under one of Professor Bruno’s black belts, and his academy and expectations set the standard! This is a beautiful facility! He is going to make a world champion out of me due to his amazing coaching and undeniable knowledge! Very highly recommend for hobbyists to seasoned competitors!
Tank and the rest of his staff have exceeded my every expectation. From the moment I walked i one exactly where I wanted to train. This more than a gym, IT IS A FAMILY!!
The space is beautiful! Top instructors and awesome atmosphere! It’s very welcoming for all the family!
If I had found this place sooner I'd me in buch better shape. Working out here is a ton of fun, and the instructors are top notch. If you want to gain physical strength, mental discipline, or just simply learn self defence you have to come here and check it out
Just started classes here at soul fighters and after just a few classes I can tell how knowledgeable the instructors are, but their ability to convey the teachings and and principals behind them is top notch. Excited to continue down my BJJ path with them.
Whatever your desire is from training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (exercise, self-defense, competition, MMA, hobby) you will have all of your needs met here. World-class instruction from a team that has produced jiu jitsu world champions and UFC fighters. I was only visiting but if I lived in the DFW area then Soul Fighters would be the team I'd join.
The best Jiu Jitsu school ever, Soulfighters professors are very dedicated to each student, they explain jj in a way that is easy to understand and also they provide the environment for me to grow and become a better person inside and outside of the mat.
An amazing place that will help you craft your jiu jitsu! Everyone is nice here and they treat you like family. I recommend this place!
World class instruction and family friendly environment!
The best Professors and energy. You’ll feel like you’re part of something bigger, get pushed beyond your limits and have fun through the process.
Soul Fighters Highland Park provides a First Class Training Facility led by world renowned Professors Bruno "Tank " Mendes, Igor Paiva and Jordan Burton III. Whether you want to be a Competitor, healthier or want to learn something new, this is the place for you and your family. We are a family at Soul Fighters; come see why I am a part of the family as well.
Great school with high level instruction from Professor Tank. Highly recommend putting your child in this program. They have plenty of patience and years of knowledge in this gym.
Very family friendly place with world class instructors.
Being a parent who has a son attending HP highschool now this is a great location to learn from basic to advanced classes. Bruno, Igor,and Jordan are very welcoming, polite,respectful, and great at what they do and the gym is beautiful .
Great vibes good instruction and awesome training ,I definitely recommend this acedemy for beginners to advance bjj practitioner.
This gym is beautiful. It's just what was needed in Highland Park. Bruno Tank Mendes, Igor Paiva and Jordan Burton III are some of the best professors in DFW for kids and adults. I train with Igor and I learn amazing things every lesson I have with him. He is making my jiu jitsu better and giving me more confidence. The great thing about this school is that you can choose what you do. You can be a competitor or you can train jiu jitsu just for yourself and your well being. You can go to classes or just take private lessons or do both. The same thing goes for kids. If you've never tried jiu jitsu you should. It will change your life. These three professors are some of the most positive and kind people I know. Go try a class. I'm sure you will love it.
Great place to train! Very detailed techniques allowing you to improve your game!
The GI coach went off on me through Instagram after my initial review of this place with a 4 star rating. Unprofessional. I give my honest review of places of my own personal experience. It gives no one right to find the previous customer of a service and go off on them.
My son tried them for a week last year and we have tried to contact them constantly to cancel the membership. I have been charged ~$1500 to date. We sent messages, left voice mails. I cannot get them to stop charging and cancelling the membership
