T&D Jiu-Jítsu Academy

“This school is great for kids. The teachers are the owner and his wife and they both do their absolute best to teach the kids the basics of jiujitsu, and to teach them STRONG fundamental skills. There are so many students with advanced belts that the teachers have seen since the student was a small child. The school is very simple and easy to keep organized and clean. Along with the classes and the structure they run there is a definite community among the parents. I would always highly recommend this school. My 11 year old son is currently in their older kids class and I am already planning to put my 9 year old daughter into the classes as well. (My opinion it should be a mandatory skill that all girls should learn). First class is free and worth at least looking into.”

“I cannot praise Professor Thiago and Professor Dayse enough for their exceptional guidance and dedication over the past year. Under their direction, not only has my son's skill set improved tremendously, but we've also seen a remarkable boost in his self-confidence. Their teaching approach is both compassionate and practical, instilling in him a genuine passion for learning. As he's getting ready to transition to the daily class, I sincerely appreciate their meticulous care to ensure he's well-equipped for upcoming challenges. Their impact on his growth is undeniable, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for top-tier mentors for their child.”

“This place is very welcoming, and Professors Thiago and Dayse are AMAZING! My son and I always look forward to training here. We are glad to be part of the T&D family!”

“When first looking for a jiu-jitsu training facility for my daughter & son, we looked into a few of the larger/well-known gyms in San Antonio but after having them try a class at T&D BJJ we knew this was the place for them. Children are made to feel welcome & included here while also being held to high expectations. Professor Thiago is a book of endless knowledge and does a great job of explaining techniques & adjusting technique to all skill levels. Professors Thiago & Dayse display professionalism & warmth while also instilling values & work to equip their students to use jiu-jitsu as an avenue to persevere through life. (Because something is hard - do not quit. Because you are not good or the best at something - do not quit. If you are good or win - do not gloat, stay humble because there is always more to learn and improve on.) Professor Thiago shares information on the origins of jiu-jitsu, information about Brazil & teaches his students Portuguese vocabulary words - he is also fluent in Spanish. The energy here is peaceful yet invigorating at the same time. After watching my children train here for 3 months I could not sit on the sidelines any longer, so I joined as well, then my husband joined 2 weeks later. We all look forward to going to the gym & training as a family & have met many other kind families here. After every class, we feel accomplished, strong, & centered. I am grateful that we found T&D BJJ.”

“T&D BJJ is home for us! The care, the love that they have for what they do, their Christian base teaching, their firm and educational methods are incredible. I am grateful for being able to have my children attending their classes! Wouldn’t change for nothing!! I drive 30+ min 3 times a week because I am confidant they are the BEST! My kid improved his behavior, it’s more focused and disciplined. He has a LOT of fun and his confidence goes to the roof because of what Thiago and Dayse do every week! We love you guys! Thank you for all that you do! God bless!”
