His goal was to create an environment that helped people who had never trained before, and also the person who wanted to become a World Champion or make it to the UFC. Through the years, Pinnacle has been able to evolve and grow to become known in the city of San Antonio, as the best in jiu-jitsu and boxing.
Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program was built to help you learn a functional form of self-defense, get in shape without feeling like you're working out, and relieve stress to help your mental health.

Didn't train here, but felt its necessary to let people know if you want information youll have to go take a tour. I emailed and responded to the text messages and the response was swift, until I didn't reply to set up a tour.
From my experience if you have a take a tour in a place they will try to sell you that day on a product. Automatic red flag for me.
Take that as you will, seems like a nice group, just my cup of tea.

I'll recommend this to anyone who is serious about training to be in the MMA or become physically fit. You've got Muy Thai, BJJ, and Striking to choose from.
State of the art gym with plenty of space for both practitioners and guests.
The instructors are really cool and you can tell that they're passionate about what they do.
You'll learn lots on your first day and the people there are very friendly to any new comer. Some outstanding fighters there.
I decided to rescind my offer because of the process in which things were pitched to me. It was kind of like you show up, sign some papers, and

Giving a 5 star because it’s no secret this gym is WORTH it. I’ve been to many MMA gyms and it’s nothing like this MMA gym. They have a very welcoming vibe, all they want is the best for you and what suits YOU. Coach Daniel is a great Coach💪🏾 He knows where to start weather you’ve done the sport or not he puts 110% on his students.
Don’t take my word for it go in there and check it out for yourself!

I've been attending jiu jitsu classes at Pinnacle for about two months, and I've enjoyed them so much that I now train 5 times a week. From the start the coaches, staff, and other patrons have been welcoming and supportive. Coach Daniel's passion for the sport energizes every class, and he grounds his effective teaching style in differentiated instruction and consistent feedback.
After a warm-up, he will demonstrate a new technique several times, not only breaking it down but also explaining the reason behind each movement. "Jiu jitsu is a game of inches," he often reminds us, emphasizing the

Coach Daniel is awesome! Great with the kids. Very motivating, tough when needs to be, family oriented and a great role model. One of the best decisions I made putting my daughter at Pinnacle Martial Arts. The trust I have in Coach Daniel to know when to push her, and when she's had enough; was easy to give. You see his BJJ heart in teaching/training these kids from day 1.
Mya has started to develop a sense of confidence different but beneficial then any parent can give. She has gained strength both physically and mentally, and a set of skills that I know will only continue to improve.

DO NOT GO HERE! Firstly, I want to say when you walk in the gym it ooks good with a lot of space. The lady at the front desk is really nice and she gives you a small tour. but when asking about the sign out front about the 30 days for free or the womans only bjj they have offered its not a real thing. they have false advertisements everywhere and they are extremely expensive. I spoke to a parent outside the gym to inquire about the gym and was told that they are struggling with children's classes which I saw first hand. it was chaos. not even close to a martial arts school. One coach was in charge

Pinnacle is the best jiu-jitsu in San Antonio. I've been training for a few years in Cali. I am moving to San Antonio in a few months, but came a little early to scope out the city. I checked out all the BJJ schools in town, and by far, Pinnacle was the best as far as cleanliness, class environment, coaching and technique. When I finally make the move in the fall, this will be my new BJJ home.

This is the perfect place for children and adults to start off their martial arts journey or continue it! This is the only gym in San Antonio that I have seen with the most sanitary and largest mat space for training! I love how Coach Daniel is a super nice and technical BJJ coach and how the other students help you out when you need it, just like a team! If you are looking for somewhere to become your second home, this is the spot because you’ll never want to leave and stop training! I love the schedule because they have morning and evening classes no matter what my work schedule is like for

I joined this gym when I first moved to San Antonio a little over a year ago. The jiujitsu here is top notch. The instructors are competing champions themselves and instill that hard work and intensity into their students. Plus the people that train here are friendly and awesome =). I came in with zero jiujitsu experience and everybody I train with is constantly and kindly offering me tips and on various techniques, super nice! I could quickly tell that everybody here cares about the success of one another and are truly friends. I came in with some boxing experience and was VERY happy to find out

These guys are awesome!! They encourage students to be their best and put the time into each student by building technique and confidence which builds champions. Coaches and staff are always friendly and always go the extra mile everyday. If you were thinking about signing up, there is no time like the present to get into martial arts. Shout out to Coach Jordan is our daughters coach who teaches the into into Jujitsu class, thanks for keeping our kido motivated!

When I lived in San Antonio, I trained Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at Pinnacle. I must say that choosing Pinnacle as my martial arts school was one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. I had heard horror stories of people choosing schools that when you went into your first class, you were treated as if you had been training all your life. I wanted to learn self-defense and have fun working out, but I did not want to get beat up for no reason.
So I did my research, I saw their reviews, I read all their emails and saw their videos and decided to go check it out.

I had been looking for a good gym that I could attend on my weird work schedule and I couldn't have asked for a better one! The instructors are very knowledgeable. You actually learn as they make sure you drill and memorize the techniques. The people are friendly and make you feel part of the group from day one. If you are looking for a great mma and Brazilian jujitsu gym, this is it!

This is my favorite gym I have ever trained at. I tried Krav Maga before this and it suffered from huge classes and I felt like the coaches had no clue who I was. Pinnacle is the exact opposite. They have a wide variety of classes so it's very easy to fit into your daily schedule. All of the classes are small and the coaches are very intelligent and obviously skilled in Brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing, and a wide variety of other martial arts. No matter what level you want to train at the staff at pinnacle is nothing but accommodating. Not only is there a huge variety of training partners at any

I have been attending Pinnacle for three years and have no desire to visit any other gyms. I have never felt as comfortable as I do here and that's because they know your name and always welcome you. I brought my Military Combatives training and have pretty much taken it to another level training with the best coaches in Texas. I have made many friends here and I plan to have my son train in the kids program once he is of age. He already runs around with the other kids. It's a place where I feel comfortable bringing my family. Our professors are top notch and only want you to be

DO NOT SIGN UP AT THIS GYM! all they want is your money and you get almost nothing in return. The fees are outrageous and you won't know you're losing money until it's already gone because the sneakiness is just how they operate. Save yourself the heartache and money and just steer clear of this gym and let your friends know as well I wish someone had told me before I spent thousands of dollars here and am still dealing with them. Which you'll find out they never stop trying to squeeze more money out of you. The instructors don't do much either so don't think the price
