I have to say the care and commitment to the community who comes through the doors is excellent! You can tell the family cares about each individual and they made my child feel so special, and that they can succeed! My daughter wants to go every day, and she tells me that every student, & teacher is supportive, helpful and positive. I would click 100 stars if I could ❤

Bastos BJJ is the real deal! The instructors are experts in what they do and are always finding new and interesting ways to challenge their students. Just in my short time there, I have met awesome people who all share a common goal and who are willing to help each other at every turn. I highly recommend this place to anyone considering trying out the sport of BJJ!

I have watched my husband train with Bruno since 2015. In the 5 1/2 years Dusty has won 3 World Championships, Pan Am champion, and a bronze at Worlds. I recently began to train, and I have trained in the womens program predominantly but I will go to a fundamentals class on occasion. Have learned alot from both. All of the coaches are skilled competitors and champions, and they take the time needed to ensure those who train understand the Hows, the what ifs, and the whys in jiu jitsu.

This is the best investment i have ever done for my two boys. They started training in November of 2015. From when they started up until now the change in these kids has been an awesome experience to see. Within that first year we saw tremendous results. We have also made some friends along the way who we now considser more like our second family. I recommend this place for anyone kids or adults 110%. Cant thank the Bruno Bastos BJJ staff enough for all the hard work they put in. Bruno, and Petya, thank you guys so much.

This is a world class organization. Bruno and Petya are awesome. My family and I love training here.

Amazing and clean facilities! It’s a great feeling to get to learn from friendly coaches who are all also World Champions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The atmosphere is also very friendly. I joined, not only to learn BJJ, but also lose weight. I was worried that my age(mid 40s)weight, and current fitness level would make it too difficult if I didn’t get into better shape before joining. All the coaches convinced me that nothing will prepare me for Jiu-Jitsu better than Jiu-Jitsu, and they were 100% correct. I am glad I took the plunge. My weight has been dropping and my fitness level has gone way up. It’s also an amazing stress reliever as well. If you are on the fence, give the free trial a shot. You will be hooked in no time.

Bruno and Petya Bastos are one of the greatest coaches in the area hands down. Started a year ago with just a trial and ended up staying and competing. Something I never thought I do. That is the confidence true coaches give to their students. Their commitment to teaching is done with passion and years of knowledge and personal training. When I go into class to train, I know I will come out with a better understanding and confidence in a sport that I’m loving. If you are in the area and looking, I highly recommend Bastos BJJ.

We started our son with Bruno Bastos and Petya Bastos because he was being bullied in school and he didn’t know how to defend himself. My husband researched and found Bruno. Bruno and Petya are amazing coaches and mentors. They love our kids like their own. They’ve improved my sons self esteem, confidence and health and discipline. They are great mentors and encourage my son to follow his dreams and to work hard and to give his best in every thing he does.

My daughter attends Bastos BJJ and wont have it any other way. They are family. From day one they welcomed us to their gym. I was in a car wreck and had to pull her out for a while I offered to enroll her in another gym closer to home while my car was getting fixed she cried and said she will just wait. She loves her coaches! They are so patient and kind! Its worth the 45 minute drive theyre the best in the west!!! My daughter admires Coach Petya and tells me she wants to be like her when she grows up !!!

These people are legit. 100% all in for every child, teen and adult. Just go and watch. You’ll see it for yourself.Every sensi is so intentional. Especially with the younger kids. Nothing but gentle and understanding reassurance. You can tell it’s a lot more than just about the moves. This is character building, confidence building and follow through. They want these kids to value jujitsu and the people they are working with whether that’s class mates or instructors.I’m very thank for them and we have only been there a month!! My son had a bad day today. He finally decided to participate the last 8 min of class and Sensi Bruno got a lot out of him- amazing feat! Prior to that 3 instructors spend time with him, talked to him, reassured him AND held him accountable without forcing him to do anything. He participated at his own free will. WHAT A FEAT FOR THAT PARTICULAR KID- I’m telling ya! He left today feeling accomplished and excited to go tomorrow. #saints Thank You guys. You made this mama’s day today 🙌🏻

I had the honor to have Bruno Bastos as my first BJJ professor back in 1999. He has the experience in the sport as a competitor and coaching children and adults that few people in Texas have. Also, with the level of efforts, engagement and passion that Bruno and Petya are putting in this school, I am sure that they gonna figure on the top rankings worldwide. Definitely, I recommend this school!!!

Signed up my son when he was 5 and has been training with Coaches Bruno and Petya for over a year. He LOVES it! He loves the coaches, the learning environment and camaraderie with the other students. I have seen him grown stronger and more confident in his abilities to protect himself. As a parent I love the teaching environment and that you are expected to practice hard to earn your stripes and belts. At his first competition he was so proud of himself for earning a medal. I was proud that he stepped outside of his comfort zone and tried. It took him a year of practice, with continuous encouragement from Bruno and Petya, before he built up the courage to enter a competition. I cant wait to see his continued growth at Bastos Brazilian Jui-Jitsu!

Review №56

My path to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu began when I signed my two kids up for class with Professor Bruno and Sensei Petya. I had always been curious of Jiu Jitsu but I had no real intention in training at all. Over the course of a year I watched my kids train 4-6 times a week and became really fascinated by it. I saw both my kids compete in tournaments. I was so proud to see them compete but it was not something I wanted to do.Bruno and Petya are amazing instructors to my kids and now to me. What started as stress release and social interaction quickly became a passion. I saw men and women in class training and preparing for tournaments all over the world. I would get online and cheer for my new friends as they competed.As I saw my now new friends compete I had to give it a try but I was still apprehensive. After some encouragement from them I gave it a try. I have had many ups and downs along the way but my teammates and coaches have been a constant source of support and encouragement.

Review №57

Top notch instruction with world ranked instructors. Our family has trained with Professor Bruno and Sensei Petya for 4 years now. Our kids have gained confidence, discipline, and a sense of self-defense through the art of JiuJitsu. Theyve had opportunities to travel and compete throughout the United States. I definitely recommend this for any family or individual.

As an active Law Enforcement officer I enjoy training Jiujitsu at the highest level at Bastos BJJ which it affords me the opportunity to learn from instructors who have been in the business longer that I have been training. The environment is very positive and allow you to grow as a person and as an athlete I am glad to be a part of a gym that all of my family can attend without being judged or without fearing a knucklehead that you usually see at some other gyms.As a community leader and influencer I highly recommend this place .

Review №59

I live in DFW and was visiting Midland for the weekend for an event, so I was looking for a place to train. Most of the adult regulars were down in San Antonio for NoGi Worlds, but nevertheless I was warmly welcomed by the owners wife (a black belt). The gym itself is beautiful. 2 large mats, and a workout area. She was there at 5:30am and gave me a schedule since attendance was going to be light due to the tournament. The class she taught (adult intermediate) was excellent. She taught knee-drop seoi-nage into a mount transition with finish. Class started with a thorough warm up, well explained technique breakdown, followed by purposeful drilling. Theres an air of professionalism here that is not common. If youre just looking for some rolls, this may not be the place for you, but if youre interested in learning solid technique (including standing/judo), give them a visit! Thanks again for having me. Oss!

Bastos BJJ is the best JiuJitsu Facility in the Permian Basin Area. I train in the DFW with Alvarez, and I came to visit the location in Midland, Texas, I was impressed with how the facilities were conducted. Both Bruno and his wife Petya are fantastic. My mother was so impressed; she joined herself after watching me roll with Brunos crew. They offer multiple classes to fit the needs of everyone. Bring your entire family and join Bastos BJJ.

I met Bruno during a workshop in Tampa. Within minutes of having a conversation I discovered he knew my sister who lives in Brazil. He is that personable! Of course, she is a big fan of him as well. Bruno is passionate about jiu jitsu and he loves developing people. Bruno and Petya are people of integrity! They genuinely want to see everyones success. I am so blessed to have met this amazing couple!

Petya and Bruno are two of the most extraordinary & devoted people I have ever met in my life. They are always opening there arms to anyone, at anytime. Bruno reminds me so much of my father that past away, he’s so amazing at what he does, one of the most loving person i have ever met. I’ve know the Basto family for a short while and my fiancé has known them and been training with them for a couple of years now, they’ve supported us and given both us both support on and off the mats!! I 100% recommend using Bastos BJJ!!! Loving, supportive environment!

Review №65

I have 4 kids (9, 7, 5, 3 yrs old) my 7 year old has been training with coach Bruno and Coach Petya for two years and from day one she told me that she loves her coaches. My 9 and 5 started a year ago and I can say that BJJ and coaches have helped my 9 year old with his confidence tremendously. My 5 year old is a handful at home but on the mats is an angel because he knows their discipline is not one to play with. My 3 year old started a few weeks ago and is super excited to get on the mats and train with coach Petya ( never did I think I was going to get him to participate in anything but will detach from me to spend time with his coach) As a mom I can tell you that they are the most loving people and care about each and every kid that steps on their mats. Definitely glad that we picked Bastos BJJ from day one! A very nice family orientated gym with two amazing people running it that I can definitely say I truly trust my kids with.

I absolutely can not say enough about Bruno and Petya Bastos.We started our kids with them almost 4 years ago. We were mesmerized by the positive environment and great role models from day one.Bjj has definitely increased my kids confidence on and off the mat and it’s something that everyone should learn. There’s no better place around to learn BJJ as Bruno and Petya are world class coaches and competitors that love to share their knowledge.Whether you’re looking to learn self defense, get healthy, make friends that feels like a family, or just try something new, this is the place to go.If You will find new friendships that become more like family.

I started BJJ back in March and I wasn’t sure that I would like it. I ended up LOVING it and have been training ever since. Bruno and Petya are truly two of the greatest people I know and they are phenomenal coaches. They are there for us on and the mats and off the mats.. they pour everything they have into us. I love that I didn’t just join a gym but I joined a family. Midland is lucky to have this new Jiu jitsu facility as well as the leadership and level of training Bruno and Petya provide. Jiu jitsu as well as Bruno and Petya changed my life and I’m forever thankful for them.

Review №68

There is no words to describe how grateful I’am to have met Bruno at the time in my life I did. He’s completely changed my life through ju jitsu but most of all for the person he’s made me want to become. I’ve been training under him for 3 years and my life has greatly improved for the better in all aspects of life. Ju jitsu has kept me healthy, Bruno has kept my mind in the right direction which is something I struggled with for years. I’ve managed to win multiple tournaments including an American nationals no gi title. I recommend anyone to train under him and his wife Petya who is also a great genuine person. Life is what you make it of, but a little help from them can improve anyone.

Review №69

I started training jiu jitsu in late 2018. Since then it has become my biggest obsession. If you are looking for a competitive outlet that also instills discipline, mental fortitude, and a sense of accomplishment, then Bastos jiu jitsu is the place. Bruno Bastos was there since the beginning of my journey and has had a giant impact on my life. I hang on every word he says when it comes to jiu jitsu and his philosophy and lifestyle on being a winner. I couldn’t be luckier to have the best coach in the world.

What a great place for the family. I started my kids with Professor Bruno and Sensei Petya Bastos several years ago and my wife and I slowly joined in on the fun. My kids have excelled in the sport of jiu-jitsu under their instruction and have won multiple titles. My wife also trains under them and has been involved in their fitness program. As for myself, Ive competed under their tutelage. Being prior military with several ailments due to my service, competing alone was a success for me. As professional instructors Professor Bruno and Sensei Petya have been able to maximize my abilities with the injuries Ive sustained during my time in the service. If your goal is to compete or just to live a healthier lifestyle I strongly recommend Bastos Brazillian Jiu-jitsu and Fitness.

Review №71

I started jiu-jitsu because I was unhappy with my life, so I thought to myself: what can I do to improve my life as it is? I was overweight and hated to look in the mirror, I had no goals and no friends. I wanted to be part of something. As soon as I walked into this gym I knew this would be my home. 4 years later and Ive found everything I came looking for in jiu-jitsu. Im fit, I can protect myself, I have goals and a purpose in life, Im surrounded by teammates that I consider to be family. I can look in the mirror and smile knowing that Im beautiful on the inside and outside because of what jiu-jitsu has given me. I hope many others can walk into Bastos Bjj and have the same experiences I have had, its an amazing ride for sure.
