Professor
Bruno Guimaraes

A 4th-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Grand Master Francisco Mansor, Bruno has led Soul Fighters since 2009 and has called Texas home since 2015. He's built a room known as much for its competitors as for how it treats first-timers and kids.

His standard is simple: world-class technique, taught patiently, in a place families are proud to be part of.

Why train here

More than a workout.
A way to carry yourself.

Jiu-Jitsu rewards patience, problem-solving and showing up. Here's what you actually build on our mats.

01

Real Self-Defense

BJJ is the proven art of controlling a bigger opponent without throwing a punch. Leverage and technique over size and aggression — skills you can actually use.

02

World-Class Lineage

A Soul Fighters affiliate under the Mansor family's Gracie lineage. The same curriculum that produces world champions — taught from day one.

03

Fitness & Discipline

An hour on the mat is conditioning, mobility and full-body strength — plus the mental discipline of solving a live, thinking problem.

04

Family-Friendly Community

From tiny kids to adult competitors, Jiu-Jitsu becomes a family thing. Kids watch a parent train, then take their own class — different mat times, one team.

The week

There's a mat time
that fits your life.

Mornings, lunch hours and evenings — six days a week, plus weekend open mats.

Bruno is hands down one of the best Jiu Jiujitsu coaches I've had the honor of learning from. His attention to detail and energy he puts into his students and his training is top tier! All of his coaches are very knowledgeable, kind and patient. If you're in the North Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown area and are looking to start BJJ for you, your kiddos or the whole family this is the place to go!

Amazing place to be part of. Professor Bruno and all the coaches are absolutely amazing! The gym is extremely clean and perfect. Very family oriented gym which is perfect for kids too. I highly recommend Soul Fighters to anyone planning on training or are training Jiu Jitsu.

Soul Fighters in Leander is an awesome place to train BJJ. You can tell by the character of Professor Bruno's students, Humble, Helpful and Skillful. Professor Bruno is laid back and everyone here is treated as Family. I learned a lot and enjoy every class I attend. Soul Fighters is also a major supporter for Military Veterans and Law enforcement (Major Bonus).
