Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Southwest Austin

“We absolutely love practicing jiu-jitsu here! My husband and I are both in our own classes and the coaches are brilliant at making a welcoming and educational environment. My 5yo also LOVES his class and I feel at ease knowing that he is learning skills to keep himself safe and become more responsible. I can’t recommend it enough!”

“It is very important for me that my young girls be able to hold their own and defend themselves in this cruel world. Martial arts was something I knew could instill confidence and discipline in them so that they may flourish into strong independent women. I stumbled across Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Southwest in my search for a school near our home, and what an absolute blessing that was! I enrolled my oldest daughter in the Bullyproof program (exactly the type of thing I was looking for) and she immediately fell in love with it. The coaches are so good with the kids and they communicate the instruction in a way they understand while simultaneously making it FUN! They teach character building and incentivize the kids to do well even at home with the Gracie Game Day program. It’s truly an amazing system. Once my wife saw what was involved and what was being taught, she immediately loved it! After a few months of my daughters doing it, I took the plunge and joined the Combatives program! It has been a blast and I have learned a ton so far. The coaches truly care about your safety and your journey. Everyone there is incredibly nice and professional while also making us feel like family. I look forward to continuing this journey with my daughters and being a part of the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Southwest family for years to come!”

“Despite limited experience at Gracie, I enjoyed every minute I spent there. It is a professionally run, kid-friendly, woman-friendly BJJ gym. Many class options, with a clear, steady progression in skills. Safety and cleanliness are emphasized, both of which are a must at any martial arts gym. Christina (owner) is good people - always cheerful and remembers your name. If I could make it work, I’d be a member there. I appreciate the emphasis on self-defense skills, especially for women. The Women Empowered series is what I was looking for.”

“Our 12 year old really enjoys his experience at Gracie. Fantastic ratio of instructors to students, great balance and pacing of instruction vs practice. Recommend this to any kid who enjoys physical challenges, needs a good workout to burn off extra energy and seeks experiences that build confidence and positive interpersonal skills. Team sports haven’t really clicked in the past but the Gracie studio manages to create a really fun, collaborative co-ed vibe that our kid loves.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Southwest Austin! The structured program is incredibly well-organized, making it easy for beginners and advanced students alike to progress at their own pace. The instructors are very supportive and always go the extra mile to ensure everyone understands the techniques. The environment is friendly and encouraging, making every class a joy to attend. Whether you’re looking to learn self-defense, get in shape, or just be part of a great community, this is the place to be!”
