Great instructors! Super clean! Excellent location and schedule of the classes! I love GB San Marcos! Chris Tunstall2025-04-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very excited when I saw this studio open up. In the past I have joined a few different JJ studios, but I kept getting injured and spent more time recovering than actually training. I have had no issues at all with injuries and based off of the way each technique is being taught and the mentality of the students, I know I have found the perfect studio for myself. Professor Mike, Terri and Alex are all wonderful and great teachers. The structure of each class is well thought out and even the warm ups are designed to build up flexibility and strength in order to accomplish more demanding moves. If you are thinking about joining the JJ community, I highly recommend considering this studio. If you are anything like me, you will get hooked on the first class and you'll be in good hands for a long journey in Jiu Jitsu.

It is so bright there and nice and we really like Prof Mike & Coach Alex. They are fun to practice with & we like the games we play at the end of class. Written by Declan & Finn.

The staff is impeccable, the professors are clear in their instruction, very attentive on feedback during drills, very safety conscious on avoiding unnecessary injuries, and very personable and approachable off mat.
