★★★★★ — Ld, Sep 2024

This jiujitsu academy is wonderful. My two boys started a year ago and then I signed up. The atmosphere is very friendly and encouraging. My kids have gained more confidence and self discipline. All the professors are very kind and teach the art of bjj very well.

★★★★★ — Phil, Sep 2024

My family and I moved from Hawaii to San Antonio a little over 2 years ago. We needed to find a new place to call home for Jiu-Jitsu. Considering where we came from that was a tall order....after visiting a few gyms we chose this place as our new home and our 'Ohana' was extended.

★★★★★ — Brandon, Sep 2024

Great place for the whole family! The coaches are very knowledgeable and hands on. Owner Steve is also hands on and works great with the kids. My youngest has become more confident since being here. They even have a women’s self defense class that my older daughter does. Their prices are unbeatable. Great atmosphere!

New to BJJ? Start at Six Blades Jiu Jitsu San Antonio North West

Six Blades Jiu Jitsu San Antonio North West 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 Six Blades Jiu Jitsu San Antonio North West

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.
