I sort of found this place by accident. I was on a flight to New York City and met my BJJ/Muay Thai instructor Brandon 2 rows ahead of me on the plane. We got to talking and he said b/c of COVID that he could come give me private lessons at my company warehouse. I've been wanting to start doing some type of workouts again other than cycling. A few months ago, a Goat-faced Gypsy bum told me I had a potbelly, so it just motivated me even more. Anyway, we've been doing our thing 4 times a week for 3 months and I love it. From wrist-lock reverses, headlock shrug-offs transitioning into neck slams, elbow strikes to the face, escaping a neck grab and converting into an arm-bar...he goes through it all. He is extremely thorough on exactly how much extension any of these holds need to go to produce only pain/submission versus what point you destroy the other persons tendons/requires surgery, if that's how the fight needs to go. Brandon, you changed my fight game. Holla! read more

I've been going here a little over a month - it's a great location for far South Austin, they have morning classes, and a great instructor!

Reasons why I love ASF: solid instruction, a variety of skill levels to train with, no long contracts, AM and PM classes, and a great community of people who are genuinely interested in improving their jiujitsu. I came in because of a 3-week introductory offer, which included a gi. ASF checked all the boxes for me, so a year later I'm still training with Prof. Bryan and the ASF crew. They offer various MMA classes that are included in your membership. They offer family deals, so you can get your kiddos in there to train in the junior classes too. Come check out ASF in South Austin! read more

I recently had the misfortune of trying out this so-called jujitsu gym, and I have never regretted a decision more in my life. From the moment I stepped into the facility, it was clear that this place was a disaster waiting to happen. Here are a few reasons why this gym deserves nothing but a one-star rating: Unqualified Instructors: The instructors at this gym were a joke. It seemed like they had minimal knowledge of jujitsu techniques and were merely going through the motions. Their lack of expertise was evident in their inability to effectively teach and correct students. I expected to learn from experienced professionals, but all I got was frustration and disappointment. Poor Hygiene and Maintenance: The gym's cleanliness was absolutely appalling. The mats were filthy and reeked of sweat and mold. I didn't feel comfortable rolling on such unhygienic surfaces. Lack of Structure and Progression: There was no coherent curriculum or structured training program in place. Classes seemed disorganized and lacked a clear progression path for students to follow. I never felt like I was making any real progress in my skills, and it became frustrating to attend sessions that felt like a random mishmash of techniques with no logical progression. Overpriced: For the amount the amount of money there are better quality gyms elsewhere in the Austin area. There are no showers, or locker rooms so you will leave smelling horrible.. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

I moved from Wisconsin to Texas and the one thing I worried about was finding a jiu jitsu home comparable to what I left in Wisconsin. There are MANY martial arts places in Texas so I knew I had my work cut out for me. I wanted to not only to continue jiu jitsu but also MMA which narrowed it down to 2 gyms that did both. And both are within a mile of each other oddly enough. I was greeted like I was already family the first day I walked in and not as dollar signs. I've only trained a few times so far here and I already feel like I belong. I like how they are patient learning my previous jiu jitsu style and how they are different enough from the academy I came from to teach Me something new as well. I also like that they have a more relaxed atmosphere but still have quality training that I believe will stand up to the competition around them. They definitely have a learning style that matches my personality which I think is extremely important in martial arts. They embody the spirit of jiu jitsu and they aren't a win at all costs sort of school. Thank you SO much for welcoming me into your home (and my new home) read more

Professor Bryan is great at what he does. I came in early before the adult class and observed his care and effective communication with the kids. It was clear that they were all enjoying themselves and learning so much. I did the BJJ class and it was solid. He obviously has a lot of knowledge to share and enjoys to do so. I had a good time meeting some of the other students also. His school is very affordable and you get a good quality experience. read more

My son has been taking martial arts for a few years now and has tried a few different schools and arts but never got the individual attention he wanted and was never really challenged. We started at ASF a few months ago and have been absolutely blown away by the diffence . Professor Bryan is amazing with all the kids and adults for that matter. He is always very patient and attentive but expects the very best out of the students and is great at showing them how to achieve their best. He is very big on respect and humility and has been just what our son needs. Since beginning with ASF our son has grown in skill and focus by leaps and bounds. We love ASF and will be a part of this school for life. We would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu or just simple get in better shape and learn how to protect themselves with the mixed martial arts classes. Sincerely, Jackson, Sarah , & Bennett read more

Awesome place to go train and learn. Kids and adults alike. The instructors here have been legit, awesome and take their time Everybody I meet is just cool and patient. Thank Goodness :) I look forward to getting up in the mornings now. read more

Review is based on experience with the kids classes. Clean, well kept space in South Austin; easy parking; great instruction. Our 5 year old loves practicing BJJ here and Professor Bryan is clearly no stranger to working with kids. Pricing is very reasonable, and class times are feasible for working parents (we work downtown and usually have no problem picking up the kiddo from school, stopping at home to get a snack, change into uniform, and getting to class on time). Instruction is always intentional, patient, firm, and fair while also clearly being fun for the kids. The rules are consistent and conveyed in an easy to understand manner. Parents can sit inside and watch class; there's also a bench (covered) outside if things get too crowded in the waiting area inside. Everyone we've met so far has been welcoming and easygoing. Absolutely no pressure sales which is a big bonus in my opinion. If you're looking for BJJ instruction for your little one, boy or girl, give this place a shot. I think you and your little one will be happy you did. read more

Austin Submission Fighting - All women's jiu jitsu class - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Near Me - Austin, Texas

I wanted a place to take my son so that he would learn all of the valuable lessons that martial arts has to teach. I looked at several schools and many of them were just glorified babysitting but this one was different. The instructor is extremely good with kids and has a natural talent for teaching. He also has a high level of expectation for his students and does not tolerate poor behavior. It is a great place to learn. I was so impressed with him that I also began taking classes. I would recommend it to anyone that is serious about learning. read more
