Top notch instruction from a top notch instructor. A fantastic place to train with great people from all walks of life. A family atmosphere where everyone cares for each other. If you have thought of trying bjj or already train and are looking for a school give CMJJ a try. My son has trained under Professor Santos for 8 years. I have trained under Professor Santos for 6 years. This school just grows and grows. A testament to Professor Santos and the atmosphere he has created. No egos to worry about at this school, just great people helping each other to improve every time we step on the mats. If youve considered bjj and havent pulled the trigger stop waiting and come see what its all about. Im glad i did.

Definitely THE spot to train jiu jitsu in Dallas. Ive been training there for two years. Prof. Marcio Santos is a gifted instructor and has a deep knowledge of the discipline. His teaching style really embodies what it means to care for students. He knows his stuff, and can walk the walk (if you dont believe me, roll with him for 5 minutes and youll find out for yourself). The academy is a great family environment and people are respectful and fun to be around.

After my first class with Professor Santos, I knew I was in it for the long hall....Ive been a student here for the past 11 months and cant say enough good things! Professor Santos is an amazing teacher. He is positive, attentive, and is always there to walk me through a move step-by-step when I dont understand it. The facilities here are top notch, and the atmosphere is phenomenal.I am personally very grateful I found this place!!If your thinking of trying BJJ (Or are just looking to get in shape), I would highly recommend RCJ Machado.

I dropped in today passing through Dallas. Everyone was extremely friendly, and welcoming. The lesson of the day was going over some scissor sweep set ups from closed guard! I had a great time, thank you again.

Had my first class tonight. No formal training, and extremely out of shape. Guys were great. Helpful and understanding. I will say this, this is much like hauling hay. Youll either get in great shape or die.

Absolutely love it here. Great instruction, friendly and helpful training partners. It got me in some of the best shape Ive been in my life. It is worth much more than what you pay to join.

When my family joined this school a year ago, I didnt realize how it would impact our family for the better. My shy daughter has excelled in school and I know training here is the reason why. Professor Santos is an amazing teacher and cares of his students and his dedication shows. Mr. Baca teaches the kids class and you see how much the kids love him. Im so happy to have found the right martial arts school for my family to train at.

I have been a student here for a few months now and it is beyond amazing.Professor Santos is a 4th Degree Black Belt and is one of the nicest guys that you could ever hope to meet. The people who train here are also amazing. There are men and women training of all ages and athletic backgrounds and the kids program is very active.If you are looking to get in shape, learn self defense, or just pick up a new hobby then this is the place that you need to be.

I have been a student for 4 months, and me and my kids have enjoyed the academy and our journey with Jiu Jitsu..! Mr. Santos and the staff are very kind and professional, the school is always clean and full of people excited to learn. Pricing is affordable and they always have different activities for the kids to have fun.

My son has been training here for a little over a year, and we have no doubts we hit the jackpot with Professor Santos and Baca! My son has gone from the quiet kid in the corner, to the kid making sure the quiet kid in the corner knows he isnt alone.I am not athletic or graceful (or into public humiliation), so I fought signing up for a few months. What a mistake I made waiting! Everyone at the school is extremely welcoming and helpful, on and off the mat. No egos, no bravado, no BS.Come visit the school, you will not be disappointed!

This school is so friendly and welcoming and that good attitude comes from the top down because of Professor Santos. He is patient, friendly and always accommodating. He gives very thorough instruction and his attention to detail makes all the difference.

I was looking for something that would be a full body functional workout. I got that here and much more! It is a family atmosphere and everyone treats each other with the utmost respect. Marcio Santos is truly a master in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Capoeira. He is the humble professor and one of the greatest instructors Ive had in my life.

Mr. Santos is the REAL DEAL! Have been to BJJ gyms in several different states and I am glad to call this one my home. The atmosphere is very open and a constructive learning environment, not at all intimidating for new students. The more senior students are always eager to help and assist in anyway possible plus Mr. Santos makes BJJ a modern art form!

Our oldest has been with the school a while and loves it here, but my youngest is what truly excites me. She has Aspergers and has major issues with people being in her physical space. We decided to try her in BJJ to see if it would help...at first, she would panic when someone would get in mount, etc...total crying breakdown..but we kept teaching her to breath and stay calm, and she has had MAJOR improvements. You can see her stop, take a breath, and focus to not panic. The guys were totally patient and sweet with her. She has really started looking forward to classes, and I cant say what a turn around this is...Thanks RCJ Machado!!!

RCJ Machado Lake Highlands is the best Martial Arts / Jiu-Jitsu School I have ever trained at. Mr. Santos is always there and greats everyone with a smile, handshake and/or hug. He is very attentive of different physical abilities and pushes you just enough.The students at RCJLH are also 2nd to none, always willing to help regardless if its your 1st day or 1,000th day.My sons and I will never train anywhere but RCJ Lake Highlands.Try it and you will be glad you did.
