Welcome to Semper Fortis Jiu Jitsu the friendly neighborhood Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, our helpful instructors are trained to assist you in effectively reaching your fitness and self-defense goals.
I've been training at Samper Fortis BJJ for almost three months now, and it’s easily one of the best gyms in San Antonio. They offer a solid variety of classes—Gi, No-Gi, and Judo—with three different adult class times every day, so it's easy to find something that fits your schedule. What really stands out is the number of black belt instructors, each with their own teaching style, which gives you different perspectives on BJJ. The environment is super welcoming, and everyone—from the coaches to the students—is friendly, helpful, and supportive. The gym is kept really clean, with the mats sanitized after every class. I believe, they’re the only gym in San Antonio with spring-loaded mats, which make a huge difference when training Judo and doing takedowns. If you're looking for a place to train, improve, and be part of a great community, I highly recommend Samper Fortis BJJ!
Posted a week agoOutstanding gym. Great atmosphere, knowledgeable cadre and excellent lesson plans. There are at least 3 blackbelts at this gym, and multiple brown and purple belts as well. They tailor instruction to any level and are very friendly. They are veteran owned and led, and they have a good female presence as well, including one black belt! 100% worth the time and money. I would go back here whenever I could.
Posted 6 years agoI have been training at Semper Fortis for about a year, almost daily. It's my home away from home. Profs Saad and Suay are such awesome people, and they've gathered a community of equally amazing people of all belts. The teaching available is comprised of varied styles from the owners, assisting professors and upper belts, all helpful and accommodating. They've worked with me patiently the whole time, modifying techniques for my physical limitations. I cannot recommend them highly enough, this is a gem of a place.
Posted a year agoSemper Fortis Jiu Jitsu is really unique. Because Professor Saad is so well connected in the Jiu Jitsu community, you never know who will walk through those doors at Semper Fortis. They are very welcoming to travelers, the gym is extremely Veteran friendly, and the instruction is top-notch. If you train BJJ and you're in, or headed to the San Antonio area, you'll be doing yourself a disservice by not walking through those doors. 🤙
Posted 3 years agoI was fortunate enough to find this place through a friend while I was training for work in San Antonio. The environment here is surpassed by none. Going to a new gym to train can be intimidating, but not so here. Everyone (the owners/instructors and students) were incredibly welcoming. The facilities are clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully laid-out. The instruction is top notch. If I have the opportunity to return to SA, I will be back!
