“A champion should ask himself, “if I were to compete against myself, what would I practice to beat me?“

- Leo Vieira

Founder of Checkmat

OUR MISSION

At Checkmat South Texas we strive to engage the student through physical & mental training in Jiu-Jitsu, to become disciplined, confident, healthy individuals.

The Checkmat Direction

As a representative of Checkmat South Texas, I will always lead by example and understand that my actions are to be held accountable. It is my goal to positively influence future generations to come.

I understand that rules are established to protect myself and others.

I will listen to my body, thoughts, and feelings; without getting carried away by them. I will be present and aware of my surroundings, without judgment.

We are Checkmat. We are Jiu-Jitsu.
