I am so grateful that the owners of this gym opened there doors to me. This is by far one of my favorite places to train. The professors are not only the nicest people you will ever meet, they have incredible high level Jiu Jitsu and I love learning from them. They make everyone feel so welcomed when you come here and I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone looking for a place to go!

I have been attending MA BJJ for a year now. Both night classes and the noon class. The level of Jiu Jitsu that Professor Marcus teaches is bar none the best in Dallas. The access to higher belts that are willing to work with you and teach you is unparalleled at other academies. I would recommend MA BJJ to anyone that is serious about learning Jiu Jitsu.

I am in town visiting for 2 weeks while my child is at camp. I decided to check out this gym to continue training while here. I cannot say enough good things about it!!! I was incredibly nervous but every single member was welcoming and friendly. I have a few injuries and could not do some of the warm-ups which for me is embarrassing, but no one looked down on it. Professor Antelante is one of the most welcoming and knowledgeable instructors I have ever worked with. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and everyone was willing to work with me. I would HIGHLY recommend this gym, especially if you want to up your game. I learned things I’d never done before and cannot be more grateful. I will be looking into traveling down and training with them on a yearly basis. Thank you all!!!!! Words cannot adequately express my gratitude……

This is one of the best schools I’ve had the privilege to train at. Marcus is a kind and giving professor. He is a structured professor that always pushes us to heights we thought we couldn’t go. While still having a very kind and encouraging approach. It shows in the way his students interact with and support others. I’ve never felt more accepted in the jiu jitsu community. A blessing for sure!

I have been a part of Jiu Jitsu pretty much my entire life, and I have been to many gyms, but Marcus Antelante’s gym offers something that most gyms in the dfw area do not offer. Great Training Partners. My skill level has dramatically increased since I have been a member of Marcus’s gym, where I have already won multiple titles in different tournaments around the country. I could not have gotten where I am now without the help of Marcus and my teammates. The training that is offered here is superior to most gyms around the area.I always recommend this gym to anyone who loves jiu jitsu and wants to improve their skill level as well as meet some amazing training partners along the way.

Where do I start…MABJJ has been hands down one of the best decisions, I have decided to be a part of. Matter of fact my 3 kids, wife, and I joined and we are very glad we did. Professor Marcus instruction is like no other, the techniques and lessons he teaches is truly an art. I recommend MABJJ to the fullest, I would give it 10 stars if I could.

I always look forward to visiting Marcus when I can make it to a class. Whether you’re just trying to get into shape, looking for a new hobby, or a life-long athlete looking for a challenge, MA BJJ has it all for you. Both Marcus and his wife, Victoria (also a Black Belt) are world-class martial artists that focus on having fun, working hard, and maintaining a family atmosphere. Thanks for the training, professor and always making your doors open for those that want to learn and improve! Oss 🙏🏽

"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care".Professor Marcus definitely has the heart for this. He's passionate about it on a personal level, decades of training and world championships, and he's passionate about it on a coaching level. You can tell he's invested in his student's growth on and off the mats. It's also amazing to see his wife Victoria so decided as well. She runs a lot of the administrative stuff, takes care of their 1 year old, and got her self back into competition shape already!With all that as a base there's a great team and atmosphere here at this gym. I personally just started with very limited experience fighting on the ground. I love how there's a beginners and fundamental class so we can learn the basics. There's also the advance class with a lot of different high level athletes. The best part is they're very approachable and are open to helping you out. I'm glad I joined. If it was just another workout group I would have stop going along time ago.
