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...
Read moreI 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...
Read moreI 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 owner's 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. There's an air of professionalism here that is not common. If you're just looking for some rolls, this may not be the place for you, but if you're interested in learning solid technique (including standing/judo), give them a visit! Thanks again for...
