We stopped in from out of town and this gym was awesome. The black belts were super technical and the had no ego. The rolls were great and we will be back for sure. I loved the murals and the mat space was huge. I would recommend this academy to anyone who is serious about there Jiu Jitsu training!!

I reached out today to Checkmat South Texas BJJ to set up a place to train while I’m in the area on vacation. The hospitality after a quick conversation is unmatched and I would highly recommend anyone to make this the place they stop in at for vacation. It is clear they truly represent what the sport is all about, offering a place to build the community and grow knowledge. I’m very grateful they are so welcoming and I look forward to getting in some good training when I get down their! Will be adding on to this after my trip to make sure I can accurately give insight to classes as well. After my last class with the team at Checkmat STX, I can say entirely these guys are the real deal. I didn’t get a chance to meet or train with Professor Danian but I’m very grateful to him welcoming me in and allowing my prep for competition this upcoming Saturday to not have to fall short because I was on vacation. I did have the pleasure of training with Professor DJ and his AM crew, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group to work with. Everyone was helpful, relaxed, and welcoming. I would recommend anyone visiting or who lives in the area to stop by and check it out. You won’t be let down!

Best BJJ gym in the valley, taught by professors who are passionate about the sport and are some of the best people I’ve met. Great environment, family friendly, filled with good vibes and great people.

I enjoy training at Checkmat South Texas BJJ. My son and I have been training there for a month now. The professors are incredibly nice, kind, and patient. They create a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone. I also appreciate the flexibility in class times with both a 6am and 7pm option, which makes it easy to get some training in. The kids’ class is great and my son enjoys going. Whether you’re new to jiu-jitsu or experienced, this is an awesome place to train and grow.
