Can’t give them enough stars! Both my girls attend the adult class and have gained confidence on how to protect themselves. My son attends the junior class. I am so grateful for the influence the instructor have shown.

The best self defence class i have ever taken 100% recomend very fun and friendly enviorment

I have known Roy Cantu for over 35 years. Roy Cantu is by far the most self-disciplined, hardworking, determined, dependable, trustworthy and patient person I have ever met (no kidding!) He has been a positive influence on me and my family, and will surly be for you and yours!

Cant say enough about Roy and his team, my 2 daughters have been part of the school for almost 2 years and have learned fundamental Jiu Jitsu in a very structured and fun way. I have also decided to join the adult classes! Highly recommend for anyone of any age

I just don’t know that there are words to communicate how much I appreciate all this place has done for my son. His confidence has grown tremendously! He is not only confident, he is also capable. He has been going to Cantu’s for less than a year and it has made a huge difference. I love that they focus on respect as well. I love that I know he can defend himself if it is ever needed!

I would say, that is the best school with a professional coach-master

I can not recommend this place highly enough. I have been training here for about 4 years and my son has been training here for a little over a year. He is 7 years old and he gets extremely disappointed when he misses even a single class. Ive seen a tremendous change in his confidence and attention level both in the school and outside of it since he started training. Practicing Jiu Jitsu here has helped me not only stay physically fit but mentally sharp as well. The school one of the very few that teaches the art of Jiu Jitsu strictly as a form of self-defense and not as a sport for competing. Roy is a phenomenal instructor and not only takes the time to teach the techniques but he also instills in the students a sense of respect for themselves and everyone else. There is a very friendly/family type atmosphere and there are no macho type of students. Everyone, regardless of belt rank, is more than willing to take the time to assist each other in improving their techniques and becoming better practitioners. This is true from the kids all the way up through the juniors and adults.

Weve been here for a year now. Mr. Roy is fantastic! He is so passionate about what he does and what the Gracie Academy stands for. Hes wonderful with the kids. He has very high AND reasonable expectations; he promotes a VERY POSITIVE atmosphere! The facility is always clean and even smells like disinfectant. :-) Water, showers and locker rooms are available which makes things very easy. I highly recommend this place to teach your kids or yourself self defense. Every marital art has its place but I cant imagine anything more practical and enjoyable for our family!

The people there are amazing! You always feel welcomed!

If you are looking for a one of a kind academy, then look no further than Cantu’s Self Defense.

Mr. Roy does such an incredible job teaching the kids discipline, respect, and confidence while learning Helio Gracie Self Defense techniques and philosophy.

Mr. Roy Cantu is one of the best instructors in the art of Jiu Jitsu. He instructs in order to defend ones self rather than using Jiu Jitsu for sport. He treats all of his students with immense respect and truly wants you to succeed and improve yourself in order to successfully defend yourself from any attack. I highly recommend this school if you seek to learn the best martial art from a phenomenal instructor.

There is no better place to train the best martial art with your family! Mr. Roy is the absolute champagne of self defense instructors! If you are within 50 miles of this training center, this is definitely the place you should be, Monday through Thursday and Saturday too! Morning, afternoon and evening, Kids, Teens and Adult classes! I can not recommend them enough!

Enrolled my kids because I wanted them to gain the confidence and discipline in the art of self defense. The owner was so passionate and good at teaching Jiu-Jitsu that I joined as well. Incredible family environment. They dont teach your kids to fight, they teach them how to defend themselves. #753

Outstanding . The instructors and staff are Amazing! The Atmosphere is so positive . The students the parents are such wonderful people. You wont go wrong bringing your family here.

I train BJJ where Im from, and stopped by here for a drop in class. This is amazing stuff, this is different from your other BJJ academies in that they do not focus on sport BJJ but rather self defense. It makes for an interesting experience when sparring. I really enjoyed it, and learn things that I have never seen before. Will continue to drop in whenever I am in town.

I cannot say enough good things about Cantus Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense Academy. The owner, Roy Cantu, received his black belt from the distinguished Valente Brothers Academy in Miami, Florida. They teach classic Helio Gracie self defense jujutsu which is a complete martial art system. The curriculum incorporates stand-up self defense, striking, take- downs, grappling, and the philosophy of JuJutsu. Mr. Roy and all the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, with a passion for teaching all ages and abilities.

The best Jiu Jitsu self defense school in Texas.

Mr. Cantu is one of the most passionate jiu-jitsu instructors that I have seen. Not only does he teach and instruct the art of jiu-jitsu he LIVES it. He has become a great role model for my high school son. I could not thank him enough.

Me & my daughters have been training here for the past 5 years. Not only a great school for all ages but great family/friends we have meet here !!

Great place, learn self defense and not points at a tournament. Professor Roy is a great instructor and motivator.

Great academy with highly positive and respectful environment for and from everyone which is established by head instructor/ owner black belt Roy Cantu.Grand Master Helio Gracie JuJutsu is taught here where you and your family learn a lifetime selfdefense system applicable to your everyday lifestyle. A struggle not necessarily has to be in between two people, but anything in life.Youll learn to avoid, to difuse, or to deal with a possible physical or mental situation with confidence in a family oriented JuJutsu school.

My son has been here since 2011 and when my daughter turned 6 she wanted to train in Grand Master Helio Jui-Jitsu aslo.Cantus Texas Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Self Defense Academy has taught my kids to protect themselves from bullies and any one that wants to harm them.The Head instructor is very very good at jui-jitsu and is great with kids, teens and adults.The academy also offers a free lesson to see you or your child likes the class.Highly recommended for anyone looking to train for self defense or just to get a good workout in.
