Sidewinder Jiu Jitsu Sherman Syndicate - Martial Arts, Combatives & Tactical Training

“Our entire family has had the privilege of being under the instruction of Professor Clements for going on 7 years now. I wish you could have known my oldest son before he started Jiu Jitsu. He was a quiet and very timid child with many of the issues the come with being in the spectrum, but is completely different now. His confidence has soared during his pursuit of the art. And I as a parent have the solace of knowing he can protect himself and those around him should the need arise. I personally have had the honor of holding three different #1 world level rankings under his coaching in my division as well as making the podium on many local competitions and several world-level tournaments, including double bronze at the Master World Championship this past season. I can safely say that both of the aforementioned situations, for my son and myself, would likely never have happened had it not been for the dedication Professor Clements shows toward each of his students. Our family is better because of Jiu Jitsu. We each have experienced so much growth over the past going on 7 years. We have the ability to spend time with our kids away from any screens and show them the importance of spiritual, mental, and physical health, as well as so much more. There’s no other sport where I can be engaged in my kids’ activities like I am on the mats. We are grateful for Sidewinder and hope to have a small part of its existence for many years to come.”

“My whole family trains both here and at the HQ location with Professor Clements. My wife competes at the highest levels. My older son competes at the local level. My younger son has no desire to compete but is still welcomed and some of his best friends have been made on the mats. I compete only occasionally but as the lead of my church’s security team I want to study the self defense and control aspects of Jiu-Jitsu. Each of us has found exactly what we were looking for and so much more. Cannot recommend sidewinder and the coaches here enough.”

“Sidewinder Jiu Jitsu isn’t just a place to train—it’s a community that feels like family. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with open arms and surrounded by supportive, skilled, and encouraging teammates and staff. The coaches are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply invested in everyone’s progress, on and off the mats. The camaraderie and positive energy here are unmatched, making it a second home. If you’re looking for a gym that offers world-class instruction with a strong sense of community, this is your team!”

“I've been training under Professor Coy for a little under two years now and have enjoyed every moment of it. Between his family and his coaches, he has created a welcoming and attentive atmosphere for new folks who are trying to learn the sport as well as those who have already received ranks. I would highly recommend coming to Sidewinder if you're curious about expanding your jiu-jitsu journey.”

“I have loved my experience visiting both Sidewinder locations! The culture here is top notch. Very solid teaching, great rolls and friendly welcoming people. Definitely recommend for anyone looking into Jiu Jitsu in the Sherman area!”
