Soul Fighters Leander

“Bringing our son into BJJ with Professor Bruno Guimaraes, and the rest of the incredible coaches here, is one of the few handful of parenting, "We 100% nailed it." decisions that my wife and I have made. In our son's 6.5 years, this has been the best, stickiest piece of fitness and community we have found as a family. We've been a part of the program for about a year and a half, which means it's outlasted soccer, gymnastics, and parkour. Beyond just a long-running activity, meaningful, profound differences in confidence, capacity, and behavior changed how our son understands himself and navigates the world. Tristan F. has a great review below highlighting many program features, but hopefully, this highlights the benefits those features have brought our son and family. Come and give it a try for a few months. Nothing good comes fast or easy and those life lessons are part of Jiu-Jitsu's benefit. An environment where courage, commitment, discipline, respect, and attention are core values is a great environment for growth.”

“We have been training for almost 2 1/2 years and we're looking for a new gym for our girls. After doing a coupe classes here, I think we found a new home gym. Professor Bruno, Coach T and the rest of the staff are top tier, very knowledge, and so good with the kids. Being outsiders, the girls felt welcome from the second we walked in and the kids who train here are extremely experienced and represent how well the coaching is here. Looking forward to what's in store here”

“Since my 8-year-old son joined Soul Fighters Leander in January2024, the transformation in him has been extraordinary. Not only has he developed new skills on the mat, but his growth off the mat has been just as impressive. His behavior, focus on school, and manners at home have all improved remarkably, and he recently received the Pursuit of Excellence Award at school for demonstrating leadership and ethical principles. We credit so much of this positive change to the discipline, respect, and confidence Coach Bruno and Team instill in his students. Coach Bruno goes beyond teaching techniques; he mentors and inspires each child to bring out their best. My son looks up to him as a role model, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the impact he’s had on our family.”

“We've been part of the Soulfighter Family for a little over a year now. From the moment we first reached out, to now solidly being a SF family, it has been a predictably safe and challenging growth journey led by Professor Bruno Guimaraes. The facility is always clean and has a great play area for toddlers. The instruction is top notch and whether you're there for yourself or for your kids, you will be walking into an environment that is respectful, safe, and professional. Your kids will become part of a program that thrives on values we all embrace and want for our society: Honor, courage, respect, discipline, and attention. Professor Bruno has set a culture that does not tolerate poor behavior and encourages everyone to be their best selves. Accountability among all students is exercised and the coaches reflect the principles for all. Further, Professor Bruno leads the way by always being there for our team, week in and week out, traveling to tournaments and helping everyone succeed. His dedication to us is nothing short of remarkable. On a personal level, as an adult student and novice competitor, I have made a number of close friends during the past year. My experience here has helped me get in significantly better physical shape, optimize my diet and lifestyle, and release stress. I can't wait to see where the journey will take us as a family and hope that you will give Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a try under Professor Bruno. You won't regret it.”

“Soul Fighter in Leander is a great gym to train at. Their classes will get you in shape and ready for self defense or tournaments if that’s what you want to do. They teach sound techniques and something I loved is that the upper belts were willing to teach the technique of each move. I will regularly visit this gym whenever I’m here due to work.”
