From the reviews
This has some of the most respectable coaches in San Antonio. Incredibly safe environment, where anyone can come train and feel at home. My son started in October of 2023 and it’s been life changing for him. Big thanks to all the coaches and especially the owners for running such a wonderful establishment.
If you’re looking for an inclusive gym with a strong sense of community and elite-level competition, this is the place! My daughter and I started training here about three months ago, and this sport has truly changed our lives. The kids’ classes are fun, interactive, and packed with functional jiujitsu techniques.
I love the staff. Chris and edgar were so welcoming and it was a very refreshing culture of training and class scheduling. All the instructors were top notch and are true martial artists. The open mat was very well attended and i even got to attend some trial classes free of charge.
Atmosphere is awesome and Open mats on Saturdays is a great place to get real respectful training, Professors and Coaches are super welcoming to all, and always willing to help and share. Environment is clean, safe and bathrooms and showers are amazing!!! Thank you for your hospitality.
New to muay thai? Start at Jiu-Jitsu Syndicate
Jiu-Jitsu Syndicate comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Jiu-Jitsu Syndicate
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
