What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Nicholas Novoa
"I was fortunate to briefly train at this facility for a military event and I can comfortably say it is one of the most professional and clean gyms that I have been to. If I didnt live 45 minutes away, I would absolutely sign up to train here. The professors were very knowledgeable, patient, and fun to be around. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to get some great training"
Cameron Macfarlane
"An outstanding facility that provided us with an incredible opportunity to learn combatives and self-defense—both for our profession and personal protection. The instructors were top-tier, creating a positive environment with plenty of time for hands-on instruction. We were exposed to different martial arts perspectives, broadening our understanding and sharpening our skills. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you all for your time and dedication."
Hank
"I've been training at Samper Fortis BJJ for almost three months now, and it’s easily one of the best gyms in San Antonio. They offer a solid variety of classes—Gi, No-Gi, and Judo—with three different adult class times every day, so it's easy to find something that fits your schedule. What really stands out is the number of black belt instructors, each with their own teaching style, which gives you different perspectives on BJJ. The environment is super welcoming, and everyone—from the coaches to the students—is friendly, helpful, and supportive. The gym is kept really clean, with the mats sanitized after every class. I believe, they’re the only gym in San Antonio with spring-loaded mats, which make a huge difference when training Judo and doing takedowns. If you're looking for a place to train, improve, and be part of a great community, I highly recommend Samper Fortis BJJ!"
Andrew Bruffy
"Outstanding gym. Great atmosphere, knowledgeable cadre and excellent lesson plans. There are at least 3 blackbelts at this gym, and multiple brown and purple belts as well. They tailor instruction to any level and are very friendly. They are veteran owned and led, and they have a good female presence as well, including one black belt! 100% worth the time and money. I would go back here whenever I could."
