GFTeam San Antonio

"When I was encouraged to start here back in June 2023, it was an uplifting experience. I only had very little to know experience in Brazilian jujitsu. It wasn’t until finding professors, Mike and Emma Martinez they’ve given me the strength and encouragement, as well as motivation to continuing, becoming a jujitsu practitioner, their dedication and devotion to their students is at best cannot say enough good things. I love their family oriented field above anything else? I strongly recommend it if you ever want to practice Ilion jujitsu with you and your family."

"My kids and husband have been participating and we are so happy with the experience. The professors are so kind and gentle with the kids when they need that, but can provide good firm guidance when that’s what is needed. It’s the perfect balance. My son learns best from direct instruction, rather than discovery, and that has been provided for him. They really make sure that they tailor the information provided for each learner. My husband jumped in and tried a class, and fell completely in love with the sport and gym. He’s gotten in great shape and feels really healthy and has a positive outlook. They speak English and Spanish at this gym, so your kids will be exposed to both languages as a bonus! You can see from my picture how loving the professor is for the kids. I highly recommend calling them for a trial class!"

"GFT San Antonio is an amazing gym to be a part of. I have been training here since May and I immediately was welcomed with open arms. Mike and Emma do an awesome job making this a family focused gym. If you are curious about BJJ or are looking for your new gym, I can’t recommend this gym enough. I drive from Boerne and pass multiple gyms along the way. The culture Mike and Emma foster make the drive more than worth it. They are extremely reasonable and always willing to work with your situation."

"Mike and Emma are the best professors one could ask for. They are so kind and caring; it truly is a small family there at the gym. Everyone makes you feel welcome, and no one ever complains about anything. Everyone motivates each other to improve, which comes from how Professor Emma and Mike built their gym. I highly recommend this gym if you want to start, continue, or jump back into your jiu-jitsu routine."

"This is hands down the best place for jiu jitsu in San Antonio! Whether you want to be a competitor or just a hobbyist this is the school you want to be. I’ve been training with professors Mike and Emma for over 2 years now and they have become a second family to me. They take the time to get to know each and every one of their students and always tailor their classes to the individuals who are there that day. The prices are super affordable and the gym is always clean. Come out and be a part of the best bjj school around."
