I’ve had nothing but great experiences at Tensei! The instructor Fabio is not only extremely knowledgeable he is also down to earth and hilarious. Instruction is very clear. Fabio shows multiple options for people with different preference and body types. Something I really appreciate. Very laid back environment but everyone works hard and is trying to improve. All the training partners I’ve had have been respectful and welcoming. Nobody seems to have an ego or is trying to prove anything. All in all Tensei is a safe and fun environment to better your jiu jitsu while learning practical self defense.

I have kids going to the youth program here. The professors are very kind, wonderful people. Martial arts of any kid can be intimidating and we really appreciate how the instructors help our kids. There is a good mixture of people who teach the classes. Classes are a combination of excercise, training kids in discipline (listening, following instructions), technique, and play. My kids love the games. There are so many inspectors to thank! Thank you to Fabio, Pamela, Josue, Monti, Hunter and Jack (and all the people at Tensei). We appreciate you being here in our community! Edit: just got done with my first beginner class tonight. Fabio teaches a very great class. The pace is fast but manageable and the group of people are very accommodating. If you are considering joining my experience has been great with my kids and the adult program seems equally excellent. Thank you!

Excellent school for anyone interested in jiujitsu regardless of skill level. Fun and challenging classes with a top-notch instructor and a supportive community. Fabio has a wealth of knowledge and an engaging teaching style. He encourages his students to have fun and experiment with techniques, to take care of their bodies and to enjoy the journey of practicing the art of jiujitsu. Highly recommend this gym!

I met Fabio at a seminar he put on in Sioux City. I was blown away. He is extremely knowledgeable, and very good at his craft. Since then he has helped me put on a fundraiser seminar to raise money for little kids who are less fortunate. Awesome guy!

I've been loosely affiliated with Fabio since I began training bjj. It is great to see him with his own spot, and it is a really nice facility! Fabio has always been a great professor with tons of techniques and experience to help anyone with any particular "style" of bjj. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place! The environment is very welcoming and the sense of community is quite strong. Very beginner friendly place to start jiu-jitsu. Members of the gym are so patient, articulate, and enthusiastic (especially the instructor). Overall, Tensei Jiu-Jitsu is a fun place to be and a hidden gem is South Minneapolis!

I've been training under and alongside Fabio for the past 10 years. He is not only a highly skilled and experienced Jiu-Jitsu instructor, but also a great person. Fabio’s extensive knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu shows in every class. He brings a wealth of experience to the mats, making each session both challenging and enlightening. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, he will tailor his instruction to suit all levels, ensuring everyone grows in their journey. You can expect a welcoming and safe training environment, a sense of camaraderie among students, as well as mutual respect and support. You will be able to push your limits, learn from your mistakes, and evolve as a martial artist while feeling at ease. Fabio is extremely down-to-earth and approachable. He doesn't take himself too seriously, which creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere in every class. It's not just about learning techniques, it's also about having fun doing it. If you're considering joining a Jiu-Jitsu academy, come visit Tensei Jiu-Jitsu. Fabio's expertise and the gym’s positive vibes make this place a great place to train.

Fabio is a fantastic instructor and mentor who offers a rich and safe learning environment to help you accomplish your goals. Whether you're training to compete, learning a new method of self-defense, getting in shape, or trying out a new hobby, I cannot recommend him enough.

I was introduced to Fabio and Jiu Jitsu probably about a year and a half ago by a good friend. I have worked out my whole life and have taken self defense classes, etc. I have always been interested in some sort of martial art, but it isn't something I had ever pursued and it was also out of my comfort zone. Since working with Fabio, I have become so much more comfortable with it. He is an excellent teacher and makes the seemingly complicated much more simple with clear, guided direction. He has a calm personality and really gears it towards whatever you want it to be. He has people that are competing and people like me who are in it for the self defense aspect. It is a fun class, a good work out and I highly recommended!! :)

Fabio is a great instructor with a ton of knowledge. He is very detail oriented in what he teaches. He does a great job at helping people feel comfortable when they are getting started in jiu jitsu. You can't go wrong with training under him at Tensei jiu-jitsu.

I have known Fabio since I first began my martial arts journey 13 years ago. I have always been impressed with the quality of his classes. He has a strong focus on fundamentals, with a flair for the fancy, that keeps you engaged and wanting to learn more. His classes are informative, funny, and I would trust him to train my family, which is a huge compliment! I’m super excited for him to have his own studio, and can’t wait to get started training again!

Friendly atmosphere, expert BJJ practitioner, variety of skills, exceptional video tutorials for free I know Fabio from my time at another BJJ school. He is a funny guy, and will make you feel welcome from the moment you set a step into the school, which will make it a lot easier for you to start. He also is an excellent instructor. With around 30 years of experience, he knows a variety of techniques. In just a short amount of time, you will learn techniques for different situations in the sport. An important aspect that sets Fabio apart from other instructors is his wide variety of skills. He also knows Judo and has a good idea of how to behave in a self-defense situation. It is important for him, to not neglect the self-defense aspect. This means besides learning to how to fight on the ground, he can teach you how to get to the ground, and how to use punches, as well as defending against them, and, moreover, the mental part of self-defense. I learned more for self-defense in six months under Fabio than in eight years of Karate. That is not just an opinion. I got into a fight with someone I know to be a very dangerous opponent, and I won without much effort, thanks to what I learned from Fabio. It also worked against trained fighters in MMA. You also do not have to worry if you miss a class. He puts a lot of effort into recording his instructions and sharing them with students. So, exceptional tutorials for you are included in the price. Speaking of instructions: They are as long and detail as they have to be, but not longer than necessary, except for a funny joke now and then. Furthermore, he has a genuine interest in answering your questions. In short, 10/10. You are glad to have Fabio as an instructor. You should really check out his school.
