Hands down, the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training in New Braunfels. Period. I had the privilege to…read moretrain with NBTC while I was working in the NB area for about 6 months. Mark employs a full time coach with world class accolades backed by a friendly environment where everyone feels like they are part of a community and the community strives to get better. I have trained at dozens of Jiu Jitsu gyms in my 8 years of experience. Without a doubt this was my favorite gym that I got to call home on the road and can't wait to come back, visit, and roll. If you're looking for self defense, exercise, competition community, sense of belonging... stop looking. When I got to the NB area... I already did the looking for you by trying other gyms... just go here you won't regret it.

New Braunfels Training Center is a great place to train, whether you've never done any type of…read morephysical activity before or have done martial arts for most of your life. Brazilian jiu jitsu is a martial art that teaches ground fighting techniques and is a great way to get and stay fit. Professor Dalua and the other instructors at NBTC really know how to teach, and they are more than willing to answer questions. They have created a really great environment at NBTC where everyone from the newest student to the seasoned competitor can enjoy classes. NBTC offers classes for kids as young as four, as well as a women's only class, in addition to the regular evening and day classes. I encourage those interested to come by and try it out for yourself!

Enrolling our 10-year-old daughter at SBG New Braunfels has been a truly life-changing decision…read more After trying four other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms in the area, we finally found the perfect fit here. Since joining, we have seen a massive shift in her confidence and assertiveness. Beyond the mats, she has learned the true importance of discipline. The "ripple effect" of her training has been felt across our entire household; she has started stepping up in so many ways and now finds her daily chores and responsibilities to be more meaningful as they align with the monthly character development lessons. SBG runs a wonderful program. They are incredibly intentional--it's not just about the technique, but about the overall growth of the individual. The coaches/ staff are all fantastic, and the facilities are always clean and welcoming. We 100% recommend SBG and love being a part of this family! Our only regret is that we didn't start sooner.

The tribe they have built through providing a safe place for people of all ages and skill levels is just incredible, patient, and kind. Even though some things are challenging for me as an amputee, they help me figure out how to adapt and overcome my challenges. The quality of the jiu jitsu coaching is exceptional, and the yoga (an awesome form of Korean stretching performed on the floor) has helped me maintain my mobility and improved my flexibility beyond what physical therapy offered.

Our whole family trains at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Schertz--my wife and I, our teenage son, and our…read more10-year-old daughter--and we all really enjoy being part of this gym. One of the things we appreciate most is the structured curriculum. The techniques build on each other, making it easy to follow and understand your progression. The coaches are patient, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their students. They take the time to explain techniques clearly and point out the small details that make a big difference. You can tell they care about teaching the technique correctly rather than simply going through the motions. Safety is also a top priority, which is extremely important to us, especially with our kids training here. The coaches emphasize training in a controlled and responsible way while still making classes challenging and enjoyable. Another thing that really stands out is the community. The coaches have created a positive, welcoming, and respectful environment for both kids and adults. Everyone is there to learn, improve, and help each other get better. Finding a gym where our entire family enjoys training together has been a great experience. We highly recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu Schertz to anyone looking for a safe, structured, and family-friendly place to learn Jiu Jitsu.

Solid Dojo and martial arts training…read more The person saying the owner does not have legitimate credentials obviously does not have the ability to use a search engine. He seems to think that Apache Knife, Alpha Krav Maga (Sam Sade led), Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Kick Boxing, Sparring classes taught by a golden gloves winner, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, and Pilipino Eskrima/Stick/Knife are all some how not real martial arts. All of the programs are well taught and very applicable in real life. The dojo has an incredibly knowledgeable Master Instructor as well as multiple programs and instructors with deep community roots. I have been in a McDojo/Belt Factory before, this is not one. This dojo is very good at teaching all who walk through the door, regardless of their natural capabilities. If you are looking for a place to reinforce a big ego and sneer at others with a total lack of humility, well then it's not a good fit for you. I recommend it for those who are serious about training AND/OR for those who are not looking for quite so intense of a place. It is a very open, supportive, and positive program and community.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN REAL MARTIAL ARTS!! Would give 0 stars if possible!!…read more Total Mcdojo, the head instructor isn't credentialed at all, "Alpha Krav Maga" is fake, they have you drilling ridiculous knife and handgun counters that'll get you killed in real life and that's fucking dangerous, giving people a false sense of confidence in the bullshit you're teaching them. Their Facebook also says that they teach kickboxing and MMA but the head instructor has ZERO competition experience in either, seriously try to find a single clip of the head bullshit instructor here "Thomas Howanic' competing in a single martial art, you can't. Not BJJ comps, not karate comps, not kickboxing, not MMA, not taekwondo, nothing. Try to find someone who trained under him competing in anything either, you can't because he's a bullshit artist who teaches people shit that doesn't work and then says his academy is "geared towards self defense" as an excuse why his academy teaches so many different arts but competes in none. He lists several blackbelts on their website but never names his lineage or where he recieved these belts from, which screams fake bullshit. On top of all of that it's just an unpleasant place. Both the head instructor and his wife are such fake people. Trained here for about 2 months and realized they didn't give a shit about anything besides money because if you wear gear that wasn't bought at their gym they'll pester you everyday about getting one of their "uniforms" even tho you're already paying to train there. All in all this gym is terrible and there's legitimately no reason to come here with how many other amazing schools are in the city. This was my first experience with martial arts and I'm glad I didn't let this shitty gym ruin it for me, have been doing BJJ at a REAL academy with instructors who are actual black belts with credentials and competition experience for 3 years and I couldn't be happier, seriously the difference between this school and a real BJJ/karate/MMA/kickboxing gym is like night and day.Go anywhere else, shit is Rex Kwon Do tier, they just want your money
