life changing. whole family signed up. it doesn't matter your fitness level. lead by true masters. Ive gone at 6 am. 11 am. 5pm. 7pm for various bjj and Muay Thai classes. my wife also does the gym classes. they are ALWAYS there. More advanced students help you get better, too. after a few months I can't believe the stuff I've learned. due to the high level of activities daily, its also a social center. it's nice to make new friends and be involved, learning together. they've done something special here and it's because of the people. this is premium tutelage from masters. My kids ASK to go. they ask to watch YouTube videos of MMA matches featuring the instructors. They ask to stay after practice.

Great place to go to for learning self defense like BJJ or Kickboxing or even just getting in shape with their strength and conditioning class. Poney and the other instructors are more than just their title. They make sure to go out of their way to insure you feel welcomed and appreciated in their gym. It’s more than a job for them it’s a way of life and they treat it with dignity and respect. They will help you grow as a BJJ/kickboxing practitioner without a doubt. Come check it out for yourself!

The Fighteria gym is an exceptionally clean and welcoming place. Professors like Gustavo Santana and Gleidson Poney are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialists and will not only get you into athletic shape, but make you more confident about how you carry yourself around. Top notch facility, great place to get started learning BJJ, Muay Thai, and guided strength and conditioning exercises.

Life changing experience. I started here a few months ago to try something new, a new sport that would challenge me, with zero prior experience. In such a short amount of time I have gained so much more than just BJJ from being at Fighteria. Poney and Gustavo are phenomenal coaches/mentors and have taught me how to be comfortable with getting uncomfortable. To push myself. To grow and learn. To be humble. To believe in my own strength and worth. And most importantly, helped me grow in my Faith. This is an amazing family to be apart of. Everyone is different and brings so much value and love. You will feel it when you walk through these doors; it’s a special place where each person can come and feel like they belong. Very grateful for Fighteria.

I've been training jiu-jitsu for 10 years in Albuquerque, Amarillo, and here in the Hill Country area, including wrestling in college. Professor Gleidson is the best coach I've had. He inspires you to be the best version of yourself, creates tough workouts, and is a man of strong faith without proselytizing. I'm deaf which has posed a challenge instructing me and he has enthusiastically met that challenge head on. He is very personable and gets to know you, he creates a family environment and cares about your life outside of jiu-jitsu. There are a lot of good gyms in the area but personally I've never had a coach that I would consider to be close friend of mine before. I am happy to have found a home here.

Professor Poney has helped myself and others grow and achieve new levels. His classes are always planned well and executed perfectly. He continues to push us out of our comfort zones to conquer new goals. It is an honor to be one of his students! If you have goals Professor Poney is your guy!

Professor Poney is excellent. He helps the kids with self defense, self esteem, confidence, respect and manners. My son really enjoys working with him, I highly recommend anyone in the San Marcos area checking it out.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at the Fighteria and the impeccable coaching style of Professor Cutis. As a beginning BJJ student, I’ve found the Fighteria to be extremely welcoming to students of all levels. Professor Cutis has been very encouraging, and has pushed me to physical levels I wasn’t aware I possessed.
