Welcome to SPI BJJ & Fitness
SPI BJJ & Fitness has been serving the Laguna Madre community since 2015. We take pride in the success of our members young & old, male & female. We offer fitness kickboxing and an array of martial arts including, jiu jitsu, karate, judo and mixed martial arts.
Our Chief Instructor is Professor Joseph Cantu.
With over 42 years in Martial Arts, 18 years in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and 2nd Degree Black Belt, teaching full time since 1994 and having earned multiple black belts, there is no one more qualified to teach you and start your personal empowerment.
Our mission is to improve self defense skills and personal confidence through martial arts and fitness training. By practicing skills for competition or for health we help develop, as a minimum, solid fighting skills in our members.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is our main subject. However, by totally immersing ourselves in the arts like Judo, Kickboxing and Karate we believe our program can do more for you than just learning cool moves.
We are a team and encourage and include all our members. Thriving on unity through team work, we choose TEAM success over cliques. Everyone is an equal and all add value. These principles keep us on the course to achieve our daily mission of helping you achieve personal success!
SPI BJJ is the name you can trust. There is no other instructor or gym that has more experience and more credentials than JOSEPH CANTU and SPI BJJ!
Physical and Mental Development
Our members tell us that our school is more of an institution of self-improvement, physically and mentally, rather than just a gym or some “activity.” It feels like a family. We concentrate on building the whole person: Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.
I pride myself on helping our adult members safely build lean muscle, quickly burn fat, gain flexibility, and relieve stress in a FUN, positive, and injury-free environment!
And for the children, parents all over the South Padre Island area give my martial arts classes credit for increasing their child’s ability to focus in school and at home, building their self-esteem, and igniting a passion for self- improvement they never would have expected.
SPI BJJ & FITNESS Studios is So Much More than “Kicking & Punching”
The martial arts are not “just” about self-defense!
It usually takes 6 months to 1 year for kids go be self defense proficient and confident in their skills as a martial arts athlete.
Get started today and find out why SPI JIU JITSU is the most qualified and exciting program in the Laguna Madre area including Los Fresnos, Laguna Vista, Port Isabel and South Padre Island, Texas!!

February 24, 2022My 7 year old daughter has been going to jujitsu classes for the past few years. We are so glad we enrolled her. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable specially professor Cantu. My daughter's confidence in herself has increased and she isn't afraid of confrontation. We would recommend it to any parent to enroll their kids. He makes it fun for them but teaches them so much!

February 4, 2023On vacation and wanting to keep my workout momentum going, I dropped in for a "test drive" of the kickboxing class. It turned out to be a great workout, and even more, a very welcoming group! Unlike prior gym experiences, Joseph focuses on what he seems to enjoy: martial arts and being among fun people. There are no preset class workouts, so each day is a bit different, which feels good (after the initial soreness) following a needed physical challenge. Workout intensity and skill levels were easily adjustable, even when others in the class were much more advanced... they were quite encouraging! My stay in the area was too short, but I def look forward to a future return!
