I really think this place is great. I live in Texas, and every time I’m in town, I always train here. The owner has been nothing but polite and hospitable to me, and I have only seen him treat others with respect. I have seen him teach brand new students and high level practitioners, and he is great with both. Each time I train here, I feel welcome and like I’m part of the family. Not to mention, the instruction is top level! Whether you are brand new or a seasoned veteran, this is a place where you can grow and become the best version of yourself. I highly recommend it.

This academy is amazing. I’ve been training here for quite some time and you cannot find a better training partners or people to learn with. Our professor Santiago is a world class competitor who is very eager to share his love of the sport with anyone. Whether you want to lose weight, learn how to defend yourself, or looking for your child’s next hobby, this is the place!!!

Never been to a BJJ gym in America. However I can say this one immediately made me feel welcome. The instructor was very professional the other students all introduced themselves and asked me questions. I can say its well worth your time visiting.

I started here in July and it was the best decision of my life. The people are great, and supportive. I have been a soccer player all my life and now more of a weightlifting person. Jiu Jitsu has taught me it’s not all about strength. I train under Santiago Farina and he is an amazing teacher and he started as a friend but now he is my brother. I have the most respect for him on and off the mat. Santiago trained under Bernardo Pital so he is legit black belt with a lot of experience and champions won.

This is a hidden gem of a BJJ school with a respectful teaching legacy. It has a loyal core of quality men and women who make you feel welcome and are willing to help you progress through your jiu jitsu journey. I started training here last August (2019), and even as a white belt I still feel like I belong here. It’s affordable with various times and classes, both gi and no gi, and kids classes too. So thankful I found this group.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Yes! We encourage all newcomers to come in and try a class before committing. Your first class at True Warriors Nova Uniao Academy is complimentary — just call us or drop by to get started. No experience or equipment is required for your trial.

DO I NEED ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO START TRAINING BJJ?

Absolutely not. True Warriors Nova Uniao Academy welcomes complete beginners as a Nova Uniao-affiliated academy. Our adult fundamentals program is specifically designed for people with no martial arts background. You will learn the core techniques at a pace that builds real confidence on the mat.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, athletic shorts and a t-shirt are perfectly fine. Once you decide to train regularly, we recommend a BJJ gi (uniform) for gi classes. Our staff can point you toward quality gear options when you visit True Warriors Nova Uniao Academy.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN TO PROGRESS IN BJJ?

Most students at True Warriors Nova Uniao Academy train 2 to 4 times per week and see excellent progress at that frequency. Consistency is more important than volume — showing up regularly and drilling the fundamentals will accelerate your development more than sporadic intense training.

WHAT MAKES BJJ EFFECTIVE FOR SELF-DEFENSE?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on ground fighting and submission techniques that allow a smaller person to defend against a larger attacker using leverage and technique rather than brute strength. At True Warriors Nova Uniao Academy, our curriculum includes real-world self-defense scenarios alongside sport BJJ, giving you practical skills alongside competitive technique.
