From the reviews

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! We've been members for over 3 years and this was honestly the best decision I've made for my kids. My son and daughter take Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes and I've never been less than impressed by the coaching.

★★★★★ — Vanity, May 2020

As a young woman, I was always reluctant to train and join a combat sports gym because of its intimidating male-dominated popularity. I recently joined this Brazilian Top Team gym here in San Antonio, TX and can’t say enough how happy I am to have found it.

★★★★★ — Diem, Jun 2024

I absolutely love training at BJJ! My sister pushed me to start training, and I’m grateful for it every time I step on the mat. The coaches are very knowledgeable, passionate, and helpful. Making sure that you understand what you’re doing, and always pushing you to do better.

★★★★★ — Erika, Jul 2026

My son started 3 months ago and used to be shy, but now his skills have improved by 80%, he is very happy every time he learns a new movement and sleeps deeply the days he trains which is very good too 🤣 The teachers are pending the whole class and always motivate them a lot, I really recommend it.

New to BJJ? Start at Brazilian Top Team - San Antonio | Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Martial arts school

Brazilian Top Team - San Antonio | Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Martial arts school comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first BJJ class at Brazilian Top Team - San Antonio | Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Martial arts school

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
