This gym has been a 2nd home. I started the summer 2022. After being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2019, I let myself go. I joined because I wanted to lose weight while learning a martial arts to be strong to protect my family and future family. I went in not knowing any Jiu-Jitsu. Even at my large size of 260 lbs, everyone in the gym could submit me, even people, 100 pounds lighter. If it wasn't that everyone was very helpful explaining what I was doing wrong and how I could improve. I wouldn't have improved as much as I have. Even without restricting my diet just by being consistent and coming to class, I now weigh 220lb. I am grateful to have found this gym and definitely recommended for anybody to come try out a class.

This place is a form of meditation for me. All the negative energy and thoughts I come in with aren't there when I leave class. Your forced to be present when your on the mat. Whenever you're on the mat there's nothing else you can think about because the whole time you're trying to survive and not get choked out. I HIGHLY recommend you come to this gym if you want to make Jiu-Jitsu and or fitness your lifestyle. Thanks Coach Jerry and Coach Matt for your motivation, patience and dedication.

Started jujitsu at this gym and had a blast! Coach Jerry is seriously the best – not just for the awesome techniques, but being a lady, he made me feel totally at ease on the mats. Super grateful for that extra comfort factor! I've learned so much here compared to other gyms. If you're thinking about trying it out, would highly recommend this place for a laid-back vibe and an amazing coach.

I've been training here for almost 3 years. The place is always clean and Coach Jerry is a good instructor. Usually a fun gym vibe with music playing while we practice. It'll help you get fit also.

Absolutely one of the best choices I’ve made to improve my health and consumption. The weight loss challenge and the Jujutsu aspect of the gym is always welcoming for new comers and anyone with injuries. Others and including myself have injuries and the staff and other attendants are always encouraging and helping you in anyway they can. I’ve recently have just joined Thanksgiving weekend and have seen results in my overall health and wellness. I would encourage anyone of any age to come to the gym try a few classes. See you there! 🔥💪

I have been training at Submission Hackers BJJ for about a year, and I must say, it has been an incredible experience. The culture at the school is extremely welcoming and supportive. Coach Jerry is one of a kind and excellent with both adults and children. His passion for Jiu Jitsu is contagious, while also being approachable. I highly recommend Submission Hackers BJJ to anyone who is interested in trying out Jiu Jitsu. You won’t be disappointed!

Instructor is very friendly and high energy. Classes are small grouo sized but feel very much like a personal training session. Workouts are challenging and fun. He watches the class and adjusts the exercises based on what he knows you need to work on and your capabilities. I definitely recommend Machado Jiu Jitsu and have had a great time and am starting to see excellent results!!

I decided to enroll my kids and myself almost a year ago and it has been a blast. Jerry is a great professor, he takes the time to drill the techniques with the kids and add fun activities to keep them focused. He is very knowledgeable and provides valuable adjustments and tips that have helped me immensely. The team has also been great, I cant thank them enough for making my learning journey and my first experience with Jiu-Jitsu so great. I would invite anyone who is thinking of trying Jiu-Jitsu or returning to train to check RCJ Machado here in San Antonio.

One of the best places in town to train! Clean facility, awesome Gi and Nogi classes, and easy going atmosphere. The team here is like family. The head black belt instructor and owner Jerry is very patient, provides excellent instruction, and makes classes fun while teaching great techniques. Whether you’re looking to compete or just want to learn the art, this is the place!

I joined RCJ Machado about a year and a half ago. I have to say it was one of the best decisions of my life. In the time since I’ve joined I’ve lost 50lbs and am a lot more confident in almost all aspects of my life. The gym culture here is inviting and friendly. Everyone that I’ve met and trained with I would happily call a friend. From the first day that I’ve trained I was hooked on BJJ and I have to say a lot of that is because of the Coach and my fellow training partners.

Awesome gym to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I’ve been training here for over a year and have enjoyed every minute of it. Coach Jerry is a fantastic instructor who is invested in helping his students grow. Mats are kept very clean. I recommend trying out a class if you are looking for a fun way to stay fit and learn a new skill!

It has been a long time since I have done Jiu-Jitsu until I came here. They are very welcome to newcomers and make it less intimidating to go there as a newcomer. Everyone is super kind and familial where after being there for only a brief time I fell like I’m one of them. The classes are about 2 hours long and 4 times a week, which is great from so many perspectives. Show up to class a half hour late because of work that’s fine. There is still tons of drilling you can do and plenty of time for the free rolling. Can’t make it everyday also ok, because there are plenty of days where you can learn all types of different moves and submissions. Finally with that amount of time the cost really isn’t that much. Most places only do 1 hour classes 2 maybe 3 times a week. You get your money’s worth here and plenty of beatings. Great place for anyone who wants to learn.

Daughter wanted to try out jiujitsu, so I brought her in, and she loved it. Since then I have joined, and my wife has too. Best decision I’ve ever made. Coach Jerry is great with the kids, and his teaching methods are second to none with the adults.

Joined RCj Machado San Antonio 2 years ago with my daughter and my husband and it has become our second home. Coach Jerry is very personable and knowledgeable. Coach Jerry has a way of teaching that makes you retain what you are learning without overwhelming you. His classes are so fun you forget that you have been working out for two hours. He interacts with his students and really cares about your goals. He takes an interest in you as a person and really helps you overcome any obstacle you might have when it comes to getting fit. Joining RCJ Machado San Antonio was the best decision I made for my family.

Couldn’t have found a better place to train. The coach is not only knowledgeable but, genuinely cares about his students and that goes beyond the mats. Disrespect and discrimination is not tolerated, all are welcome.

RCJ Machado has had such a positive impact in my life. I joined 2 months ago and have loved every minute of it. Coach Jerry is very attentive and teaches the little details that creates great students. I was shy and nervous at first but he and everyone else at the school made me feel welcomed since day 1. I feel like I'm part of a new family. I've never done any martial arts in my life and started BJJ with zero knowledge beforehand. I'm learning so much, getting in WAY better shape than ever before, and my confidence levels have gone sky high. Plus, it's been such a great stress reliever and has helped me overcome my struggles with depression in a way that no medicine ever could. They also do a great job of maintaining a VERY clean facility. If you're looking for a safe, clean, and judgement free place to learn martial arts, RCJ Machado is the place to do it.

I have known Jerry for a few years now and he has a passion for teaching others and helping them improve their lives through martial arts. Expect a fun, clean professional environment where everyone has the opportunity to learn and improve. Throw in the strong lineage under Carlos Machado and you have a world class top notch school.

Took my daughters for a free intro lesson and joined the same day. RCJ Machado San Antonio is totally legit. The coaches are phenomenal. Coach Jerry and Coach Stephen are firm, attentive and responsive to each kid they train. Both coaches balance the training and hard work with a playful atmosphere. The kids are learning self-defense, control and having fun while doing it. This is THE place to train.

An amazing academy! Coach Steven and coach jerry make you feel right at home and for the high level of training you get for such a good price you can’t beat it. I recommend this place for anyone. Steven is the main striking coach/mma with years of Muay Thai training and judo and coach Jerry is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt straight from Carlos Machado. The level of training here is high but at the same time when you come in they treat you like family. You can’t find this anywhere around town.

Its great to train and be around people who get every aspect of family and hard work. You will be in good hands with both Coach Jerry(BJJ) and Coach Steven(MMA Fit/ Striking) no matter what your skill or fitness level is. Honored to be apart of the RCJ Machado family.

Joined Machado's studio and really enjoyed the people and the classes. When I had to move out of the city due to work I followed the contract and gave notice and my reasons well in advance to Jerry. After receiving written approval from Jerry via text messages to end my membership, he continued to bill my credit card the next month. He was incredibly difficult to get in contact and he actively avoided my calls and messages. After finally responding to my messages he described it as a mistake and said he cancelled the account and put a refund on my credit card. This did not happen -- not only did he not refund me the month of charges he continued to charge me the next month. I was extremely unhappy with how Jerry treated me especially when he was charging my credit card when I had moved out of the state. For a teacher that is always on his phone while his students are training he is incredibly difficult to get in contact with. I would not recommend you put your credit card down at this studio. As of posting this Jerry has yet to refund me the two months he over charged me and has yet to answer the phone or my text messages.

At first when I register my kid I asked the coach / owner to give me a copy of the agreement he said "don't need to I'm going to keep everything" which showed me a red flag. He start charging my account more than what I agreed to and it took me 2 months to get my refund back. At the end told the couch/ owner (Jerry) that I'm not going to bring my kid anymore he still charge me I text him but to this day I haven't got my refund back (A month after)and I had to get a new card. Bogus company.
