We are a traveling BJJ enthusiast family and Professor Joseph at SPI BJJ was welcoming us warmly for a drop in class for my entire family on our travels. Great energy in the class!
The only reason I’m giving 4/5 stars is because I feel the bathrooms needs some updating and maintenance but that is an easy fix and has nothing to do with the quality of training.

On vacation and wanting to keep my workout momentum going, I dropped in for a "test drive" of the kickboxing class. It turned out to be a great workout, and even more, a very welcoming group! Unlike prior gym experiences, Joseph focuses on what he seems to enjoy: martial arts and being among fun people. There are no preset class workouts, so each day is a bit different, which feels good (after the initial soreness) following a needed physical challenge. Workout intensity and skill levels were easily adjustable, even when others in the class were much more advanced... they were quite encouraging

I spent a couple of days training with these guys they had a great atmosphere. Everyone was well versed in the fundamentals and more! Professor Joseph Cantu has an amazing outlook in jiu jitsu and is a very experienced overall martial artist. I will definitely be coming by to train on vacations here at SPI again!! A+++

Seriously, this is the best exercise class I’ve had in years! One of the highlights for me is that I know I can look forward to learning a new exercise or move with every class. After our sessions, I can literally feel the rush of endorphins! Through Joseph’s kickboxing classes, I have come to respect the previously untapped power and use of my legs and arms. Additionally, I must add that I really enjoy all the ladies in my class! Everyone is just so friendly and supportive! I think Joseph’s chill, funny yet professional personality brings out the best in us all.

My 7 year old daughter has been going to jujitsu classes for the past few years. We are so glad we enrolled her. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable specially professor Cantu.
My daughter's confidence in herself has increased and she isn't afraid of confrontation. We would recommend it to any parent to enroll their kids. He makes it fun for them but teaches them so much!

I have never trained here personally, but I have had the honor of being a guest speaker at one of Mr. Cantu's classes. I have also been invited to help out at a BJJ event that was held in Port Isabel. Mr. Cantu and SPI BJJ have been great assets to the City of Port Isabel. They have done so much for our community by getting kids and adults involved in fun physical activity. Mr. Cantu is always available to help you out in any way he can. They have classes for all ages, so go by and visit them whenever you get a chance.
