Bruno Guimaraes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy - Leander, Texas

Soul Fighters is a family-oriented place that is very very welcoming for all ages and levels. Regardless of age or skill level, you will always receive 100% attention from the professors and coaches. If your goal is to compete Soul Fighters also offers classes and skills that will prepare you. If your kiddos are just getting into Jiu Jitsu I highly recommend Soul Fighters, Professor Bruno and Coaches are so amazing with the kids! It's rare to find business owners who sacrifice their own time to support their clients, but this gym does exactly that. If you're competing, you can be assured that you'll always have someone by your side coaching you. For example, Professor Bruno drove to Dallas to support and coach in a tournament and then immediately traveled to Houston to coach his students at another event on Fathers Day. The dedication and knowledge at this gym are truly remarkable!

This is an amazing, organized, professional and family friendly gym. The kids all get along fantastically and support each other. Professor Bruno is one of the best coaches my daughter has ever had in her athletic “career”.

My son is almost 7 and has been practicing jiujitsu with Professor Bruno and the coaches at Soul Fighters for a little over a year. He loves it and has developed confidence, agility, strength, grit, determination, and made good friends while having fun! Great community of families as well and I’ve made some good mom friends too!

We moved to Leander from Round Rock and looked for a good JJ club. We visited 5 clubs nearby and came back to Professor Bruno club. Our two sons (6 and 8) have been training here for more than a year and we absolutely love it. The attention to details, attitude, and overall atmosphere of the club is fantastic. We are looking forward for our sons to keep growing here and enjoying the amazing classes of Professor Bruno.

Bruno is Amazing! My two sons along with now myself are training under him. I can not say enough good about Bruno and his program. His kids program is Top Notch. We have a wonderful group of kids that work very hard, struggle together, make each other better and through all that have become good friends and along with us parents it's all one big family.

Bruno has a wonderful gift with how he teaches our kiddos and well us adults too. He does a great job of building everyone up. There is no b.s. fluff here. Just effective, fundamental based training that has produced great results on many levels recreationally and in competition.

Do yourself a favor. Do your family a favor and get your butt over to Bruno Guimareas BJJ. No better place to learn and train for all ages.

I am so impressed by Bruno Guimaraes! His consistent relaxed and confident demeanor sets the tone for each class, no matter the age group. He has a natural ability to teach discipline and respect to the active, unfocused student or the one who needs extra time to be comfortable enough to even join in. He meets each individual with acceptance and develops a bond with each one to know specifically how to approach and instruct effectively. This is an authentic Brazilian jiujitsu academy led by knowledgeable, credible instructors who take the time to perfect technique and build confidence by giving individual focus and specific recognition to each student. The classes are structured and all students are respectful and encouraging to each other. There has been a notable difference in my 7 & 9 year old since starting the academy only 2 months ago. They are more cognizant, respectful, motivated, self-directed, and disciplined. What I can truly appreciate is that the physical dexterity and cognitive agility gained through this practice are lifelong skills that will continue to serve and influence our family for years to come.

I've been training jiu jitsu at Bruno Guimaraes BJJ academy for the past few months and it has been an amazing experience. I felt at home from day 1 because everyone on the mats is so welcoming and always willing to help out with anything you need. The academy has a great, family-oriented culture while also being deeply rooted in competition. It is a place where you can train according to your goals, whether it be training for competition or just recreationally. Professor Bruno has done an amazing job with the gym and I highly recommend anyone in the area to pop in for a class!

My daughter has been attending jiu jitsu classes here for the last few months and loves it. Professor Bruno is very good at being patient when teaching the small kids, but still being firm when they need to listen and pay attention. The class never feels unorganized or unsafe. The kids always look like they are having a blast during class. Coach T and Coach Brady are excellent with the kids as well, especially when it comes to giving them individual attention when the kids need more help. My daughter has learned so much in a short amount of time and it is thanks to Professor Bruno and the other coaches’ hard work and patience every day with them!
