A different kind of gym located in San Antonio. A community united by a goal: to become the best version of ourselves. We welcome all levels of fitness!
Great gym for Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and MMA. I mainly train Jiu Jitsu, and the team is welcoming and tough in the best way. Professor Aaron is super smart and breaks techniques down so they’re easy to learn and apply. Highly recommend!!
The gym is a family oriented place. Safe for kids, people of all sizes and athletic ability. This gym is one of the few that will break down the fundamentals of muaythai, boxing, jujitsu and wrestling. I would recommend you come see for yourself.
I’ve been training at this gym for three years, and it’s been an incredible experience. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and do an amazing job working with both adults and kids. They truly care about teaching and mentoring, and the community here is welcoming and full of great people. This gym has been a big part of my life, and I’ve met many lifelong friends here. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend this gym enough! The coaches here are high level, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in every student’s progress, whether you’re brand new or a seasoned fighter. The atmosphere is welcoming but still competitive enough to push you past your limits.
The facility is spotless, well-equipped, and has everything you need for striking, grappling, and conditioning. What really sets it apart is the sense of community everyone motivates each other, and it feels like a true team environment.
Since joining, my technique, conditioning, and confidence have skyrocketed. If you’re looking for a place to sharpen your skills, get in fight shape, and be surrounded by great people, this is the gym to be at!
My kids have been coming to ONE Academy for 5-years now. The coaches and staff are great! The wrestling coach Gordo has been a great coach to our kids and they have improved so much since he started training them.
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!
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!
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.
What a fabulous martial arts gym. Aaron and Leroy are an incredibly dynamic team. They provide detailed instruction, there are a plethora of training partners, classes all throughout the day. I'm very pleased with the quality.
Update- they just continue to improve. I would follow these guys to the end of the earth.
Excellent training from knowledgeable staff. They are very patient with my 2 daughters (5 and 7) and they take the time to make sure they understand the technique and not just go through the motions. Can't speak highly enough!
I've been training for almost a year at ONE. All coaches are very knowledgeable about what they teach. if I have any questions, they're more than happy to answer them all. 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.
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!🥊🥋🤼♂️
This is the cleanest and best stocked Big Lots in town! O, wait . . . This review is for the place next door over!
Yeah, that place is great too. I’ve known the owner for many years and he is excellent. He has made an amazing place for a community of men, women, and children to train in a variety of fight sports: jiu-jitsu, no-gi grappling, muy thai, and wrestling.
I am jiu jitsu student and the classes have a friendly environment with clean mats. Instructors are patient and willing to work with students if you have questions.
Alexander has great combat sport IQ. You can get an extreme sense of dedication and love that he has for every discipline he challenges himself to. It’s been a great pleasure working with him in his preparation for his next match. Colorado and troublemaker gym will always have the door open to Mr Hernandez ! Go get em’ killa!
Amazing environment and awesome place to get your work done for whatever martial art you train in. Our wrestling game has gone to a whole new level since coming here.
I’ve been here for almost 4 years and the gym is fantastic. Aaron and Leroy are some of the best jiu jitsu instructors I’ve ever seen. Trevor is also more than good enough to be a coach. The wrestling program is top notch for kids and adults. Muay Thai and MMA classes are legit and always engaging, and there’s even a great strength and conditioning class to supplement your training with. Outstanding all around. Not to mention the vibe there is awesome! 5 stars for sure
I brought my daughter here because she needed to learn how to stick up for and defend herself since she is going into middle school soon and was a very fearful, non confrontational, emotional girl. She cried on the way over to her free trial begging me not to do it. I chose for her to try the jiu jitsu class. Not even half way through the class she as all smiles and when it ended she asked when she could come back so I enrolled her. Within just a few months she turned into a completely different person. Her confidence sky rocketed even to the point of her wanting to compete. She also started taking the muay thai, boxing, and wrestling classes. I now have no worries for her going into middle school next year. I have also since enrolled my youngest son and he has a blast here as well. They have made great friends with the coaches and the other kids. Myself having a background in wrestling i do have to say they have the best wrestling program in the city. We are very satisfied with our choice to enroll here at ONE.
Wrestling wrestling wrestling!
Since day one it has been at great experience.
Great attentive coaches for first timers to experienced wrestlers of all levels. Amazing for those interested in traveling competitions or just to keep your kid active.
We go here year around and have see a huge progress in just two years!
They support all types of athletes although we only have ours in wresting.
Easy assessable location and they support girls and women in all sports!
Don’t forget you can get a workout in while your kids train!!!
Great place to train, develop, and build community. Been coming for years, as have my kids. The scheduled offerings are perfect for my families busy schedule, and the coaches are fantastic. Starting two train later in life, I appreciate the coaches actually coaching to one’s abilities while still pushing for growth and development.
No egos, no drama. Just a great place to better myself and my kids.
Great place to be a part of. Owners, Coaches and staff are ALL amazing people. Your not just another client to them; your family. Lots to do, it's not just one option. You will definitely find a class that works for you in this gym.
I have been attending the adult afternoon muay thai classes and have found them to be quite good. Very intense. I am a beginner but they have worked well with me. I will be trying the ju jitsu, wrestling and mma classes in the near future and will leave another review.
This is the most friendly place you will go to. I was welcomed and felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. If you have an office job and don't get much exercise I highly recommend coming here to get your workout in. You will not regret your choice to come give it a try.
Very welcoming, they allowed me to try the place out a few times before I signed up and i immediately knew this was the place for me. Lizette was very professional and friendly throughout the signup process. Good for people of all sorts of conditions if you are just starting out or already have experience .
This is my go to jiu-jitsu academy when I am in San Antonio. The gym has a great atmosphere and the staff always makes me feel welcome when I am in town. The instructors are top notch. I always leave a better jiu-jitsu practitioner than when I stepped foot in the door. I love this place!
I live in Colorado, but this is the go-to stop to drop in at when I'm in the Lonestar state! Great overall atmosphere, clean environment, and exceptional instruction during training. Seriously, this is THE spot if you are looking to train in San Antonio
My daughter went for a Muay thai trial class and she enjoyed it. It's great that there are other styles to choose from during the week that she can try out as she pleases. This is a program that we are looking forward to sticking with.
Going to Ohana NE has been one of the best decisions I've made this year. Staff and coaches are very nice and teach very well. Coaches are very nice give great feedback on your technique and are very encouraging. I would highly recommend Ohana if you are looking into martial arts.
If your child is having any kind of discipline problems, this is a place for them. We had our first free class for our seven year old were absolutely amazed how discipline and focus you have to be to succeed at Ohana. Instructors really do care, super friendly and very clean environment with great vibes! My son Can’t wait to start soon!!
I fight in the UFC and live in CO. When I’m in SA, I only train at Ohana NE. It’s the number one gym for mixed martial arts. Home of my friend Alexander The Great.
The training is second to none. Great training partners and coaches. I feel like my skills have improved tremendously in just a few months. I feel very confident going into my competitions.
Honestly i thought this would be a little intimidating for my sons first day but literally everyone from parents to staff made us feel welcomed and he loves every bit of it and we will be joining the ohana family
First time going there, didn't know what was going on until everyone around me supported me with their own knowledge and experience. I was filled with excitement and then passion as I was training with the current members of Ohana and it was one of the best! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a way to learn natural self-defense through muscle memory. Go check it out!
Went to check out the classes for my kids, they made us feel like family and let us try the class before deciding. My 9 year old loved it and I'll have to try back for my youngest but he looked like he was having fun playing with the other kids before they started class.
My 9yr Old tried it for the first time today and she loved it. The Staff was extremly helpful when she didnt know what was going on. By the end she was in love and wanted to come back! They gave us a free session and it was well worth it, they just gained another student!
If you’re on the fence, just go talk to them. It’s clear from the moment you arrive that they care about you. Which is not often the case at martial arts studios. They were warm and friendly, inviting, and very willing to work within my personal constraints. The class was excellent and easy to follow and the other students were engaging and outgoing, it was an excellent experience! Highly recommend Ohana to anyone looking for a place to call home.
We love Ohana! We come train as often as we can. We love our coaches and we love the friendships that we’ve been making during our time here.
We would recommend Ohana to everyone.
Ohana Northeast is my second home! My son joined about 8months ago in wrestling with Coach Xavier and Bjj with Professor Daniel. Shortly after both my spouse and I jumped on the mat to to Jiujitsu and we love it. Since my son has been super successful in his grappling game. Found his confidence around other children and really bonds well with all the professors and coaches. Genuinely enjoy Ohana, I look forward to it at the end of long day of work. 6pm adult class is amazing!
Ive been training in MMA for 12 years now. I moved to San Antonio recently, and for the last year I have been looking for the right gym. My search stopped at Ohana... the level of training you receive here is simply unmatched. They have the most expertise in areas ranging from boxing to jiu-jitsu than any other gym I’ve seen. This place breeds professional fighters... one of them being UFC’s #13 lightweight contender Alexander Hernandez. If you’re looking for a place to train in San Antonio, look no further than Ohana.
If you’re looking for the best BJJ/MMA in the state, you’ve found it. But...this place is so much more. I’ve been in the Sports Performance/Health industry for 15 years. I’ve traveled near and far seeking out the best knowledge I could possibly find concerning human health and performance. I’ve spent tons of time and energy on this.
I feel like I have a strong leg to stand on when I say, the strength, conditioning, mobility, nutrition, and mindset work coming out of this place is, truly, one of a kind. All of it comes top down so just know when you walk through the doors of this place, every one of these folks lives and bleeds the mission, the vision.
Come through. You won’t regret it!
I started coaching wrestling at Ohana northeast in March while coaching I started gravitating towards our other classes in my free time like Jiu-Jitsu, striking and group fitness. All of the coaches are easy going and very high level! It’s been 7 months since I started working/ training here and in that time I lost 60 pounds just by attending all of our classes we have to offer. If you’re looking to get in shape, stay in shape or just stay active in an environment full of motivation and great people Ohana northeast is the gym for you!
Awesome Place for mobility and strength training. I Enjoyed learning the MMA moves and technics.
I highly recommend Ohana Academy Northeast to anyone looking to get in shape and learn to defend yourself at the same time.
Alex Hernandez and the Staff are amazing and really take the time to work you all that attend.
Ohana Academy Northeast is THE best gym in San Antonio offering MMA, jujitsu, striking, wrestling, and strength and conditioning classes. There is lots of mat space, full MMA cage, and fabulous workout area! Ohana NE has elite level instructors, coaches, and personal trainers that are inspirational and passionate about what they teach! This place has it all!
As a student of Ohana for almost 8 years, I have seen the school grow from one small school to four big schools. They have the recipe for success, to develop long term relationships through the daily trials and tribulations of combat sports. To bulid a family of people that are passionate in learning, failing and succeeding in life both on and off the mat. They have succeeded, congrats OHANA Academy, well done! If I could, I would give 10 stars.
Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere. If you wanna be a fighter. This is the place, highly trained coaches and world champions along with coaches in the UFC.
If you just wanna do it for exercise or for fun. I also highly recommend Ohana. They’re extremely knowledgeable and caring for people just entering the self defense or martial arts realm.
Bring your children, they’ll have a blast and build life long relationships through enjoyment and discipline.
10/10
One of the few and by far the best gym offering MMA, jujitsu, striking, wrestling, and strength and conditioning classes. There is a ton of mat space, full MMA cage, and great workout area, but it’s the top level instructors, coaches, and personal trainers that make this place great!
I’ve tried a vast array of mma, jiu jitsu, and boxing gyms in the area, trying to find my home for training. Ohana is the first place that actually made me feel like I was part of the family. The name fits. The patience, knowledge and care shown by each of the instructors is second to none. Whether through individual or group training you are constantly having fun and evolving with a great group of people, all at an affordable price! Do not hesitate to come give it a go for yourself!
Honestly , I’ve been to a lot MMA gyms is my life but, if you’re looking to really expand your craft and get better, train with an extended family, and be around some HUSTLERS, Ohana is your gym. No cutting corners, just getting after it.
The best mixed martial arts gym in the city hands down. I use to train at UFC gym but gave Ohana a shot after a friend's recommendation. This gym is much more hands on and you can interact with world class instructors. I would leave a 6 star review if I could.
I had never been in a “gym” before but heard about Ohana from a friend and wanted to try it out. Let me tell you it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in 2019! They have workouts and instructors that can help you achieve any fitness goal! The coaches constantly switch up the workout so I’m always having fun and getting s good sweat! Every now and then I even get to train with Alex Hernandez (yes the UFC fighter)! Highly recommend stopping in Ohana for all age groups and different levels of experience in fitness/training!
Incredible coaches and staff. You will get experience with really high-level athletes and coaching. At the same time, it is a great place for beginners, kids and families. There are a ton of classes with lots of options on time and the gym itself is very clean with great mat space, an octagon, and a whole area full of functional training workout equipment.
Coming from the military I know hard work and discipline. This gym has reshaped my outlook on each. I have grown physically, mentally, and learned so much about myself and martial arts. Ohana Northeast is an incredible facility with an outstanding culture of camaraderie that has benefitted my life in every aspect.
Ohana Academy is the best place if you want to learn martial arts, as well as get a good shape with strength and mobility classes. They have professional coaches that will train you to be your best version improving your body control and mindset.
San Antonio doesn't enjoy the wide variety of Jiu Jitsu schools like Houston or Austin, but there are many professors here who bring a lot of integrity to the sport and students are constantly challenged to become better people.
Ohana Academy is one such school. They have 3 branches and each one brings something to the table.
The Northeast campus has great wrestling, jiu jitsu, and fitness/conditioning classes.
The staff are wonderful, and they make each student feel at home and part of a larger family.
Kids benefit greatly because they learn how to work as a team, become leaders, overcome adversity, confidence in dealing with bullies, and they get a great workout that they couldn't get anywhere else.
Adults are made to rebuild themselves from the bottom up and come out stronger both in body and mind.
You won't ever regret signing up.
We love what Professor Jason, Professor Daniel, Alex and Javier are doing over at the New Ohana Northeast Location! Such a wide variety of programs with great instruction. Striking classes, BJJ, Wrestling, fitness and MMA oh my!
Been going for months to Ohana with my entire family , my son has enjoyed trying out every class from Brazilian jiu-jitsu to Muay Thai and wrestling ,every Coach in each field is wonderful including Coach blue, professor daniel , Coach Elijah , Coach Carlos , Coach Javi and Coach kodi , the manager leandra is okay :) Recently my wife and I started doing jiu Jitsu as well and love the class structure and education/help we get from all the coaches . Have recommended many friends and will continue to do so .
My daughter and I both train here. After moving here from TN I was worried my daughter and I wouldn’t find the same kind of Jiu Jitsu family we had back there. When I first stepped into Ohana those worries were put at ease. Everyone was welcoming and the professors and coaches are awesome. I tell everyone that if they are going to train in San Antonio, that this is the place to be.
I brought my son, who is pretty shy, there expecting him to not like it and I was amazed by the people , instructors, and how much he loved it. It s important to care about who teaches your children and we definitely found a place with great Instructors and who really care about what they do. We officially signed up on day two.
Really pumped to have my son join Ohana! He’s brand new to all of this. They have several programs to choose from and it’s a great place for all levels. The coaches and staff are experienced and connect great with both the kids and parents. Looking forward to watching my son grow and learn.
Just had my first bjj class at ohana academy it was really cool good work out and everybody welcomed me it felt good being their! the proefessors were quick to help and guide me on their methods. This is the place to be!
Fantastic Academy. I love coming here. Very large, more black belts in Ohana Jiu-Jitsu than I've ever been a part of. Excellent instruction, and great family atmosphere
Awesome gym. Just did my very first BJJ class, it was awesome. The professor and coaches were very helpful and professional taking the time to walk me, and other beginners through moves, warm up drills, and while we rolled. Everyone was really friendly and willing to help and teach. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the amount of children and parents at the location, it was a very family friendly and clean environment, both very important things to me. I highly recommend this location for beginners and pros alike.
Called to inquire beginner wrestling information. Spoke with Coach Bobby. Informed me if the 6 month commitment and registration fee regardless of whether or not my son likes it. So, basically he does not offer a "trial" class or even an opportunity to test run. Only was interested in telling me how to pay the costs. $99 registration for (he couldn't tell me what) and $100 month for a minimum 6 months. Or I could pay up front the entire 6 months for $600 as he would waive the registration fee. So, i asked him if he honored a military discount and he said he-he gives everyone a military discount at the regular price...ridiculous!
