We've been part of the Soulfighter Family for a little over a year now. From the moment we first…read morereached 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.

I called before the freeze was over in order to cancel and they said I had to re-activate and pay 30 days again in order to cancel. This was not explained when I originally wanted to cancel and froze instead. There were other things like this even when we first signed up that should have been a warning. They were and are dishonest in their business practices, rushing you through signing up without reading the contract (it's on me for not stopping them, but also they should be entering a contract in good faith which they did not). The coaches were great with our kids, even though the classes were over filled. They are good instructors who are kind. But the people who run the desk and finances are not trustworthy. Find another school if you can.

Our 3 children ages 14 (115lbs), 12 (70lbs) and 10 (50lbs) have tons of partners including highly skilled partners to train with which historically has been a challenge to say the least. Professor Bruno and all of the Coaches provide a very structured class where discipline, respect and good behavior is expected and they have an amazing way of pushing them through adversity. The advanced youth classes are also 75 mins long which is huge and not the norm anywhere else that I have seen. This means plenty of time for technique and plenty of time for live rolls. The Adult classes have also been exceptional and I can only speak for the Tuesday and Thursday afternoon classes but they are an amazing group to train with and are all super welcoming. My Wife and I have been leveling up quickly thanks to great instruction and partners. This place is a 10 out of 10 in a very saturated BJJ area. If you have a young highly skilled child and they are not currently being challenged, don't have enough partners or their class is short and full of games, this may indeed be the change you have been looking for!

Unexpected fee after cancellation + refund refused…read more We enrolled our son, Talen, at Johns Gym in Austin and withdrew/cancelled his membership in April as a result of a blood clot and condition that does not allow him to box anymore. After the cancellation, we were still charged an additional fee. We contacted the gym right away to request a refund, but we were told we missed the reimbursement/refund window, so a refund would not be provided. I understand businesses have policies, but this felt frustrating and unfair given that we had already withdrawn him. I'm leaving this review so other families clearly understand the billing and refund timelines before signing up. I'd appreciate the gym revisiting this situation and making it right.

Unsafe training, bad mats, and poor environment I walked in fine and left injured…read more I decided to try out this gym because it's close to my house. From the moment I first walked in to ask about a free trial, the atmosphere felt uncomfortable everyone looked at me like I was some kind of intruder instead of a potential new student. No one greeted me or tried to make me feel welcome. That should've been the first red flag. During training, things went from awkward to dangerous. Someone decided to pull on my heel extremely hard not even applying a proper inside heel hook or any legitimate control and I felt a pop in my knee. I immediately knew something was wrong. That one careless move left me with internal damage in my left knee. I can barely move it now and can't afford the medical costs to fix it. It's been painful physically and mentally because I came here just to learn and have a good experience. On top of that, the mats were terrible. They had almost no grip super slippery even when dry. It's the kind of surface where you can slide around during drilling or sparring, which makes it way easier to get hurt. A gym that takes safety seriously would invest in proper mats like Fuji or Zebra mats, not the cheap ones that feel like plastic flooring. I'm not posting this out of anger I just want to give people an honest warning. The environment here doesn't feel controlled, and safety clearly isn't a priority. If you're looking for a competitive but respectful place to train, I strongly suggest going somewhere else. I train at Kingsway, and it's a night and day difference still very intense and competitive, but everything is structured, the mats are safe, and people actually look out for each other. That's how a real gym should operate.

I am visiting for the week and decided to train here as I began my bjj training at a Six Blades affiliate in the Bay Area. The gym is immaculate and should be a considered a temple in the bjj community. Xande is down to earth and breaks down technique in a manner that leaves you a better athlete after every session. The staff at Six Blades Austin is welcoming and made an effort to remember my name after the first time meeting me which shows an emphasis on customer service that is rare in the fitness community. I've been going to the lunchtime class which is generally a smaller group anywhere you go but there was a still a good variety of belts in the room to work with. I've visited many other gyms that struggle to place an emphasis on cleanliness and timeliness in the way that Xande and his team do here. Just about the only knock for me was that it was a 20 minute drive from where I was staying in east Austin, but I had a rental car so it worked out.

My husband has been attending for almost 3 years now and our daughter became interested after watching some of his classes. Next month will be a year since our daughter started and Professor Andre, Coach Eric, Coach Brayden, and Coach Stormy have been a huge influence on her and we credit them with helping her gain incredible confidence. BJJ has helped her grow so much on and off the mat in just one year. Professor Andre and the staff have such a way with the kids. Teaching them valuable qualities such as respect, hard work, discipline and leadership all while learning valuable self defense skills and the kids have fun every class! For parents of girls give it a chance! Our "girly girl" looks forward to every class and loves to show off her new skills to us. She even came to us and said her goal is to compete this year. Which I never would have thought she'd want to do. We have attended classes at the other sister schools in the area as well and they all seem to have the same quality staff there too. So if you live closer to another school you can't go wrong with any of them. Professor Fabio has done a great job recruiting an impressive staff that we are happy to trust our kiddo with.
