Where do I start…MABJJ has been hands down one of the best decisions, I have decided to be a part of. Matter of fact my 3 kids, wife, and I joined and we are very glad we did. Professor Marcus instruction is like no other, the techniques and lessons he teaches is truly an art. I recommend MABJJ to the fullest, I would give it 10 stars if I could.

I always look forward to visiting Marcus when I can make it to a class. Whether you’re just trying to get into shape, looking for a new hobby, or a life-long athlete looking for a challenge, MA BJJ has it all for you. Both Marcus and his wife, Victoria (also a Black Belt) are world-class martial artists that focus on having fun, working hard, and maintaining a family atmosphere. Thanks for the training, professor and always making your doors open for those that want to learn and improve! Oss 🙏🏽

I’ve had the privilege of training at many academies all over he world. Very few teams enjoy the level of instruction offered at MABJJ and the quality is evident in their students (dozens of world champions from world class black belts to talented blue belts.) everyone is always friendly when I visit and it’s not uncommon to stay a couple hours working technique or just having fun and telling stories.

This place is amazing! Marcus the head professor there is a great guy, very welcoming, and kind. He also is a legit black belt with lots of experience & value it doesn’t get much better than that! Everyone at the academy makes you feel very comfortable and in a great environment. All skill levels are welcome they will work with you and get you better. If you want to learn jiujitsu this is the place to be!

There are no words to express what a great facility MA BJJ. They provide quality training, great atmosphere and excellent professionalism. There is a variety of technical training at the facility as well. Marcus Antelete is a phenomenal professor and this reflects not only in his instruction but within the skills of his students and competition athletes.

While traveling for work I was invited to train by one of Professor Antelantes students. The academy was hospitable and filled with high-level talented and well cultured persons. It was some of the best technique and training I have ever experienced, and Ive been doing this for a while. I recommend without hesitation or qualification this academy to anyone that either desires to being their BJJ journey, or to take their game to a higher level. Hope to train again when back in Dallas.

I absolutely love this gym. Professor Marcus is a wonderful coach who puts his pupils first and foremost. There are so many classes to choose from that are for the whole family. From kids classes, to beginners, to advanced, there is always a class for anyone. They even offer a women’s only class that I thoroughly enjoy. The gym is very family friendly as well as clean and sanitary for everyone coming in and out.Would highly recommend this gym to anyone who’s looking to improve or learn jiu jitsu.

I have been a part of Jiu Jitsu pretty much my entire life, and I have been to many gyms, but Marcus Antelante’s gym offers something that most gyms in the dfw area do not offer. Great Training Partners. My skill level has dramatically increased since I have been a member of Marcus’s gym, where I have already won multiple titles in different tournaments around the country. I could not have gotten where I am now without the help of Marcus and my teammates. The training that is offered here is superior to most gyms around the area.I always recommend this gym to anyone who loves jiu jitsu and wants to improve their skill level as well as meet some amazing training partners along the way.

This is a really unique BJJ school. The level of instruction is high and the level of rolling/training partners is high. Its the perfect school for a serious competitor or a beginner and you have a roster of lower to upper belts that you can easily progress and push yourself. The people are incredibly friendly but still train hard which is the perfect combo. Marcus is building something special here and i think in the next 5 years you are going to start hearing about MABJJ blowing up the tournament scene.

Visited the MA BJJ academy on vacation. What a great place to learn the gentle art. Professor Antelante provides great instruction, his students are tough and technical, and the environment was suitable for beginners and the experienced alike. A nice clean space. A family atmosphere. Next time we are in Dallas area we will surely visit again. If we lived in the area, we would be honored to have him as our professor.

Review №21

The MA BJJ Academy is a rare find. The team is extremely high level and competitive, but they take the time to explain the techniques in an easily digestible manner. I have been training for a few years now - and some of the fundamentals I re-learned during my opportunity to train at MABJJ significantly improved my game. All of this, and the team is welcoming - a lot of gyms have cliques and you spend the first months training in isolation. Walking into this gym, feels like coming home at Thanksgiving.

People dont care how much you know until they know how much you care.Professor Marcus definitely has the heart for this. Hes passionate about it on a personal level, decades of training and world championships, and hes passionate about it on a coaching level. You can tell hes invested in his students growth on and off the mats. Its also amazing to see his wife Victoria so decided as well. She runs a lot of the administrative stuff, takes care of their 1 year old, and got her self back into competition shape already!With all that as a base theres a great team and atmosphere here at this gym. I personally just started with very limited experience fighting on the ground. I love how theres a beginners and fundamental class so we can learn the basics. Theres also the advance class with a lot of different high level athletes. The best part is theyre very approachable and are open to helping you out. Im glad I joined. If it was just another workout group I would have stop going along time ago.

I was referred to MA BJJ by pure luck. I wanted to try something that would take me out of my comfort zone. Shortly after my first class, my son (7 yrs) joined. Best decision. This academy is a family. No matter the Belt, everyone is there for their teammates. Professor Marcus facilitates and manifests this attitude and it permeates down to the youngest students. My son is learning life long lessons on work ethic, discipline, teamwork, and respect. I am thankful to have been led to this place.

There are not enough words to truly describe how tremendous and encouraging this gym really is. I’ve been to many gyms to train different styles. BJJ is something I’ve always wanted to get into but most places can be very intimidating but that is not the case at MABJJ, the team here want you to be better and are willing to take the time and show you. Marcus is truly the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Like everyone else says, not only on the mats but also off. He pushes you to be better in every aspect of your life. Also if you want to see a power couple then come to MABJJ because seeing Marcus and Victoria together is truly beautiful and inspiring with everything they have accomplish and continue to accomplish both compete at high levels, teach class daily, and run their gym together all while taking care of their beautiful family. This gym offers something to everyone that steps through those doors, I have heard Marcus say countless times “BJJ is for everyone” and he truly shows that they way he watches each student. There are many BJJ gyms to learn from but the this place is truly something special and will forever be my home no matter where life takes me. Thank you!!!

I have tried many DFW area BJJ gyms prior to landing at MABJJ. This gym stands out above all that I have experienced by a landslide. If you are looking to truly learn the art of jiu jitsu, get an incredible workout in, and have an absolute blast with a great group of people, then there is no need to look elsewhere. Stop by and try it out for yourself. You will be welcomed with open arms and treated with respect from the very beginning. Marcus is an amazing professor and will help you on your journey.

Amazing Jiu-Jitsu Professor; as a Performance & Strength Coach for over 26 years and an avid martial artist (30+ years), I can personally attest to Marcus and his team of instructors to provide high-quality instruction, and a level of attention one may not find at most schools. Training at MA-BJJ you are not just a student; you are part of a community and most importantly develop friendships both in and out of the Academy.

Marcus is an extremely knowledgeable professor. From day one I was welcomed right in. He offered me a gi if I were to ever forget mine and remembered my name right away! As someone who is bad with names this took me by surprise:)The school provides several different courses ranging from beginner gi to competition training gi/no gi so you can begin testing where you lay if you would like with live rolls at any time. Everyone is extremely friendly and will help you and offer tips all along the way.If you’re looking a sign to lay your fears or concerns to rest this is it. This place will help you build character and instill confidence in a welcoming environment. Stop waiting and pull the trigger!!!

In my line of work, quality of service and professionalism is paramount. I must say, my experience at this jiu jitsu academy has found the same level of quality that I expect from my own business. My son and I are enrolled in lessons here, and what I have experienced so far are instructors that provide excellent instruction that genuinely care that you learn the proper technique.Jiu jitsu is a great way to build self esteem in the younger ones while also being a great workout for the whole family. I will continue to enroll myself and my family here and recommend this academy to anyone interested.

I am constantly impressed by Marcuss presence at the gym and the commitment he provides to his students. Before I decided to join, I was looking for a place to grow and become more advanced, seeing that most gyms focus on their beginners and blue belts, not much is taken into consideration for upper belts like purple and brown. TECHNIQUE here is great, and Marcuss detail to doing it right will make your game grow quickly!If your new, experienced, or looking for a fun and safe training environment, MABJJ can provide great training with many amazing and friendly students.

I’m enjoying the environment and I always look forward to bringing them to MABJJ. So don’t hesitate to give it a try.

Marcus goes above and beyond when it comes to coaching and someone who truly wants to see his students grow outside(life) and inside the gym. I came to this gym with no grappling expereince, but during these past 8 months I have grown exponentially both as a human being and a grappler.I chose this place moving from a diffrent city mainly because it was across the street from my job and they have a 6a.m class and wanted to try something new and challenging. I had no idea I had stepped into a golden gem and would not have wanted to start my bjj experience anywhere else.The level at this gym is top notch and you will be learning from the best.This place has quickly become my home away from home. Its a family-oriented culture and offers so much for all ages. I am very proud to be a student under Professor Marcus and proud to train with so many amazing people.

Prior coming to this academy, I had no training in any form of martial arts (other than watching and copying Jackie Chan from his films.) A friend of mine told me about Marcus, Victoria and their new gym opening up. He told me how they are wonderful people and he loves the way Marcus trains his students. Long story short after my first visit, I am now one of Marcuss students and its already been a month and a half, and I absolutely love it. Marcus is calm and eloquent. He always explains why every step is very important before leading up to the final result. He is very patient with his students, yet he challenges you to be better mentally and physically. There is never a dull moment! And Victoria is very admirable and strong-willed woman. If you are a female, I highly recommend attending All Women Class. This academy supports each other and I am glad to start my BJJ journey with them!

Whenever attending a class with Marcus or Victoria you are greeted like family. Whether you are trying to get a good workout, learn self-defense or get in at the competition level you will feel right at home. The atmosphere that Marcus has created within this gym and team is one that many gyms wish to create.The facility is welcoming and clean and the schedule of classes are perfect for those who need an early work out or something after work or during their lunch break. The Students and Coaches are all eager to help each other become better.

Professor Marcus and his wife Victoria is the definition of hard work and perseverance! The atmosphere of this gym is truly a one of a kind. No matter the color of your belt, everyone is so willing to help and improve each other. It also helps when you have a professor like Marcus to guide and cultivate your skills at the highest level. He and his wife also compete in tournaments to show that good leaders lead by example. The fellow classmates are world class as well. Consistency is key when finding a good gym. There are NO easy rolls here. The people who train here are all great athletes and good people. The facility is BRAND NEW and is very clean. They have multiple classes at various hours throughout the day to accommodate to a lot of peoples hectic lives. They also have different categories of classes such as a beginners level classes and an all womans level classes etc.. If you ever have any desire to do some sort of self defense or exercise program. Give MA BJJ a try. I promise it will be worth it! You can learn a new sport; meet new friends, and live a life full of confidence.

This is an EXCEPTIONAL gym. I am so proud to be a part of Marcus Antelante’s gym. He is such an incredible person. Always making every single person that steps into that building feeling welcome and at home. It is an honor to train under him and with his amazing students who are so kind and caring. I am amazed at the talent that many of these students give. You will find good jiu jitsu anywhere. This gym is some of the best you’ll ever find in DFW. I challenge you to do the warmup in the advanced class without taking breaks for your first week. I’ll even give you $10. Just show me this review and I dare you to do it. It is humbling. This is where World Champions train. OSS!

Marcus and Victoria have created an environment at the gym that makes everyone feel like they are part of the family. Not only do they have the best competition BJJ program in the DFW area, they provide a class structure for the casual learner and self defense enthusiast. Marcus is a multiple world champion and is very passionate about what he teaches which is BJJ, Family, and Friendship. Victoria is also a world champion who runs one of the biggest womens self defense programs. They both are great instructors but even better people. Couldnt have found a better gym to call home and I highly recommend everyone to come give it a try!

Great gym for beginners or world class practitioners. Marcus is incredible at making sure all of his students learn the fundamentals first, while also challenging some of the top athletes in the sport. The close knit family feel you get with this team is incomparable to anything else I have experienced.This is the place to be in the DFW area if you are looking to learn from the best and challenge yourself with an amazing group of people. Training here has been a gratifying and beautifully humbling experience.
