Ive been attending Marcos Santos Academy for almost a year, and its been an amazing experience. The instructors are very knowledgeable and run a well-disciplined class. Through their instruction I was able to get my blue belt and won a big local tournament, so they must be doing something right!

Marcos is Good People.It was a pleasure working with you.Enjoy your New Pole Sign

The Academy has great instructors and is an excellent environment for families. My entire family train here and love the place.

Brazilian Jiu jitsu academy with a great staff! My 11yr old has been training here for a couple years. The coaches are really patient but know how to move the students along. Great for sport and self defense!

Great and super clean and spacious academy! Professor Brayner Martinez was very welcoming and helpful and treated me as one of his own students! All the students in the academy were also very friendly and the training was great and learned alot! I highly recommend this gym for sure!

Marcos Santos Academy is an awesome place for all ages to learn cool techniques in self defense and also learn the martial art in a proper way. A big shout out and Bravo for the Masters, coaches and the Professor himself for making it very interactive, interesting class each and everyday. Great way for kids to gain confidence,focus, and many more good attitudes towards life and every individual. It is a very friendly and family oriented place where whole family can get stronger together. I strongly recommend this place to all my friends and family!!!

I can not speak highly enough of this place. As someone coming in as white as a white belt can be. Ive already learned so much and the environment is incredibly friendly. Wish i could give 10 stars!

Love, love, love this academy. The reason for this is threefold. 1) It starts at the top. Professor Marcos Santos is a gentleman, so friendly and welcoming, with such a deep knowledge of BJJ that it will make your head spin. He teaches by breaking everything down to its most basic form, making it easy to follow the technique being taught and in such a way that it is relatable to your level, whether you are a white belt or with years of training. 2) Because of the atmosphere encouraged, everyone, without exception, all the coaches and students, are so helpful and friendly. No one hordes the knowledge. everyone is so giving and helpful with their time and knowledge. White belts do not feel out-of-it since the upper belts are always helping with technique and improvement. 3) One is not forced to compete. You are made welcome at the academy whether you are there for conditioning and fitness, for self-defense, or to overcome personal obstacles, whatever it is...and if you do want to compete you have, at your disposal, all the resources you could ever wish for! I feel fortunate to have found Professor Marcos Santos, his coaches and the Marcos Santos Academy for sure!

Super Awesome environment ! I train at another soul fighters facility in Richardson but Marcus welcomed me with open arms and let me train whenever I was working over by his facility

Incredible team and amazing instruction for kids and people completely new to jiujitsu! My 5 year old has been attending classes twice a week for 3 months and it has transformed him! He is more confident, becoming stronger, more coordinated, and has so much fun in class! Come watch one class and you will quickly see how amazing this academy and group is!

This gym has changed my families life. My nieces entered the after school enrichment program and are really looking happy and confident. I personally enjoy the women s self defense class on Wednesdays marcos does a good job on creating life threatening scenarios and helping us overcome them.

This is a great place to learn and train! Hugo and Marcos are excellent, patient instructors and are always willing to take the time to answer specific questions. They breakdown the details of the techniques clearly so that everyone from beginners to advanced will catch something new.

I have been working with RCJ Macado on some local events and I must tell you he really cares about his staff and the people who takes his classes. I am excited to learn more about the Bullying program they are putting together. Knowing they will be walking Light the Night with us s so cool. I also love knowing they work with my sons school as it makes me feel safer when I drop him off.

This is the best place to learn authentic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Fort Worth area. From sport jiu jitsu to self defense, this place is a great family martial arts academy.

This place has a huge emphasis on training the children. I strongly recommend the training from Marcos and Hugo because they reinforce not just techniques but also the spirit of teamwork and striving for personal best. There is simply not enough room for all the good things I have to say about this studio.

Marcos Santos Academy is an awesome place to train. Marcos Santos is an amazing Professor. If you ever get the chance to come train here I highly recommend it.

One of the best gyms Ive been to. Not only are the people humble, but the instructor is fun and encouraging. Jiu jitsu is great, but there is still a variance of different skills being taught such as wrestling and judo. I am a female and have never felt uncomfortable once here (except for being sore the next day). Just an overall great atmosphere and incredible place to learn.

Marcos Santos Academy, its a great environment for families! Thank you, for your services!

I have trained under Master Marcos Santos For a decade!! He is a very passionate instructor who really cares about his students. He always makes his students feel like family. I have trainined with many BJJ instructors and I can tell you Master Marcos is one of the best. My students in New Jersey always ask for him. I named my son after him that should speak volumes!!

My son goes to class here and he really loves it. Marcos is the one who actually teaches the kids class, so that’s a huge plus! You won’t see that at other schools. You can tell Marcos really loves teaching the kids. He goes through a lot of jiu-jitsu based games to keep the kids interested throughout the class. I’m so glad I found this school.

Great place to train, great people and 2 of the best coaches around the dfw area Marcos Santos and Hugo Munoz. Feel really blessed to be here. RCJ4L!!!

This place is great. Easily the best training around. They raise the bar high and help you meet it.

Marcos, Hugo, and the rest have created a great competitive learning environment. Best choice Ive made in years.

The best jiu jitsu academy in Fort Worth!

I highly recommend RCJ Machado Jiu-Jitsu - Ft. Worth . Master Hugo as my son calls him, is great with young kids. He teaches self control and respect for yourself and others! Great and welcoming atmosphere!

Man Professor Marcos is awesome! He not only is extremely knowledgeable about Brazilian Jiu-jitsu but he is a great guy, Every time Im In the Fort Worth Area I MAKE time to see him he is great! Hope to see you soon Prof.

Wow. Im the Childs father of that ugly review and I 100% love this gym and all it represents. The trainers Hugo, Victor, Marcos and Eddy are all great with them and most of them work full time with kids in their careers so they have a great deal of patience. My son has increased in discipline, confidence and breaking through his wall of shyness since starting this wonderful class. They also work with the local Swat Team and train them. So dont be fooled by a keyboard warrior I recommend this class 100% to any child or take the class for yourselfs they also do Jui Jitsu for beginner and advanced adults!

Excellent academy in defense my son has learned a lot in a couple months

Such a great experience training with these guys. As a former college-athlete Im always looking for avenues to challenge myself physically, with Hugo and the crew I get just that.

Marcos santos academy doesnt only show you how to be the top competitor you can be ,it allows you to better yourself on and off the mat ,Marcos Santos academy is also a team of brothers that will help you reach your goal to be the best you can be in life.

The David Madera review is my brother in law and im assuming my sister wrote that nasty review for unknown reasons. The truth is this academy is the best, 5 stars hands down 10 stars if it was possible. We put our son here because hes always been so shy and we were afraid that he would get bullied easily since he had been getting picked on already only being in pre-k. When he first started he didnt want to get on the mat and would cry since hes a sensitive person. Hugo, Victor, Eddie, Marcos as well as the other instructors helped him build his confidence so much! By sitting down with him, personally showing him techniques and always asking if he had questions. The other children in the class as well are so welcoming and understanding to newcomers. Any time any child feels down or not confident during the class the instructors go out of their way to assure the child learns technique and feels confident. Children are going to be children and cry especially if theyre not in a comfortable situation. This place is definitely the place to go if you have a small child and want them to either build confidence or of course learn very valuable bjj which will be helpful for the rest of their life. I am deeply embarrassed by that review, nothing was said to me about her experience, it is not an accurate review as to that being the ONLY time she had gone so it is not an accurate reflection of the academy.

This is THE best place to learn top level Jiu Jitsu in Fort Worth, Tx. Prof. Marcos is great with kids. He runs a great class for adults. His attention to detail is amazing. The academy has a great family environment. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this place.

I absolutely love RCJ Machado. Ive only been coming about two weeks, but in that time period I have gained more confidence and discipline than I have ever. Marcos Santos, Ashlee Buoncompagno and Hugo Munoz are the best instructors Ive ever had in anything. They are patient, encouraging and just over all awesome people. I would suggest RCJ Machado Jiu-jitsu to anybody.

RCJ Macado jiu- jitsu is awesome, i have only been there for 2 months but already see the difference it has made in my life, not only physical but mental as well. Marcos is a great teacher and even better friend who really wants you to improve. It is a great place to go work out and make new friends.

Best place on DFW to learn jiu-jitsu ,, the coaches are amazing Hugo ,Eddy and professor Marcos Santos is the best in the world . and prices are so low, . we are a family of 6 and we all do jiujitsu , my wife me and my 4 boys , I recommend this place to anyone .

Ive been to RCJ Machado a couple times now, and am new to Jiu-jitsu in general. RCJ Machado has a clean facility, a friendly and inviting atmosphere and an easily accessible location. Hugo Munoz (the instructor I worked with) is patient, knowledgable, and eager to teach. The ego gets left at the door here, nobody is trying to show you up or belittle you. The other students ive attended with are kind and helpful to a newbie like myself.Get a great workout while learning new skills! As a prior marathoner/triathlete (now out of shape), Id MUCH rather do this than run circles for hours on end.Highly recommended!

Great school great atmosphere, the instructors are great with all age group, great quality instruction!!

Great jiu jitsu, very family oriented and a wonderful and welcoming environment for new and experienced. Tons of experience and great training partners. Highly recomend to anyone intersted in jiu jitsu.

My 7yr old daughter and myself have been training with Profesor Marcos Santos at RCJ Machado Fort Worth for about 6 months. She loves learning from Mr. Santos he make the kids class interesting and keeps thier atention thru out the entire class. I myself am thankfull for finding this gym learning from someone who has been teaching for so long. Thank you RCJ Machado and Profesor Marcos Santos.

Machados is by far the best Jui-Jitsu gym in the DFW metroplex. I have tried Lutters, and it pales in comparison to the training, skill, and genuine individual attention you receive at RCJ Machados. The monthly price is very reasonable and the location is great.Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert, if you are considering getting into a Jui-Jitsu gym look no further---you will not be disappointed!

Great place to train and learn with a great group of people.

Outstanding gym with great instructor and students, welcoming friendly and hard working classes. cant wait to learn more and get back in to shape.
