We are a serious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school dedicated to spreading the Art in its truest form. We focus on all aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi Grappling in order to provide our students with all the tools needed to be successful in not only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but in life as well. While only about 10% of our students choose to compete, here everyone gets the opportunity to train like a competitor.
Our training focuses on self-defense and competition style Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Most students attend the classes to get a great workout and get in better shape. However, everyone leaves with more confidence, a better fitness level and the tools to defend themselves should the situation ever arise.

Services
The Marra Senki Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the original Power Team Academy of San Antonio and provides a multi-dimensional approach to martial arts cross training by offering instruction in all aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our adult classes are co-ed with both men and women of all ages and fitness levels, we offer kids classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense and we also have an after school program.
Beginners BJJ, Executive BJJ, No-GI BJJ, Intermediate BJJ, Advanced BJJ - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is the core art taught at the Marra Senki Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the art that we teach as developed by the Gracie family of Brazil. Even though BJJ contains standup techniques for winning a fight, it is famous for its devastating ground fighting techniques.
At Marra Senki BJJ Academy safety is paramount. Accidents may happen, however, lack of seriousness during training and the resultant careless application of technique or counters contribute greatly to injury. Careless practice is disrespectful to the spirit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and we do not allow it.
When you enter the mat, greet all students individually with a handshake and bow, by belt ranking: Black, Brown, Purple, Blue, and White. Classes BEGIN with a formal BOW to the Instructor and then to the pictures of the GRANDMASTERS. Classes END with students lined up in belt rank descending order facing the Professor.

Looking to start a new hobby, getting in shape or just being able to defend yourself, look no further. Marra is the best of the best when it comes to a jiu jitsu gym. They’ve been around forever if not the first jiu jitsu gym in San Antonio and it shows. Super clean and structured with multiple classes throughout the day from 6am to 8pm, self defense to combat jiu jitsu. There’s something for everybody So there’s no excuse not to train here. They even have a separate class for beginners. A pro fighter and twenty five year black belt Professor Marra has tons of knowledge and experience. He

Excelente academy with excellent professors. This school is stellar and miles above the competition. Very clean school, welcoming professors, students, and best of all great prices. They also give discounts for military, first responders, and LEO. They also offer several classes per day (3-4) so you have lots of options to choose from depending on your schedule. I highly recommend this academy over the rest. You’ll be in love after the first class, guaranteed!

Their beginner class was great! Definitely felt like I got a lot out of the class.
Update: I've been going here for about 3 months now and I love it! The professors are very thorough and patient. The beginners class is awesome for adults wanting to start out. Very happy with my decision to stick around.

We love being a part of the Marra Senki Academy. Our boys love their instruction and enjoy the amazing relationships they have built with the professors and their peers. The Academy is always clean and the professors are always welcoming and go above and beyond for their students. World class instruction
The relationships built go beyond the mats and feels more like family.

My two sons, ages 8 and 11, have been training here for well over a year and they love it. The instructors are great with kids and are exceptional at teaching technique. Marra Senki offers a great balance of fun and instruction and I could not imagine taking them anywhere else for Jiu Jitsu. Five stars—highly recommend!

Marra Senki Academy is the absolute best!!! Our whole family attends 2-3 times a week including our 6 and 11 year old boys. We have never felt more welcomed and more part of a family then we do here and we don’t plan on ever leaving. Thank you Marra Senki for teaching us self defense, confidence and respect.

Great place to train for all ages! I tried out a few Jiu-jitsu schools in the city and this is the one that felt the most like a place to both learn good Jiu-jitsu as well as a place to enjoy it!
The instructors are great at all levels, and the facility is spotless!
I highly recommend Marra Senki BJJ to anyone who wants to train in SA!

Best BJJ in San Antonio for adults and kids. Myself and my 4 boys have been training here for 5 years. The instructors are top notch, the facility is spotless, and the training partners are tough and friendly. The 6 am, 7 am, and 8 am classes are perfect for working adults. No more excuses about not having time! Get up early and get after it.
