Joao Crus Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Dripping Springs

“I am so glad we enrolled my son into Joao’s classes. Not only is he having a blast but he is learning so much and making new friends . The instructors are very hands on and so good at explaining techniques with great attention to detail. The best part of the classes for me is they are teaching the kids respect, focus, and building community. I would highly recommend Joao Crus Jiu-Jitsu”

“Coach has had five “one on one “ private lessons with me and is devoted to help me be successful. I am 72 years old and have never had any training in martial arts. He is patient and I appreciate this. In my heart of hearts, I feel that he has my best interest in his heart. Super individual!!! I feel that he is more than just a martial arts coach. I feel that he’s a life coach as well.”

“I've been attending the adult group classes at Joao Crus for almost a year. They offer both morning and evening classes which makes its very convenient for my schedule. Joao's there himself to teach on most days - which doesn't happen at a lot of the other 'chain' studios. Despite being group classes, I get a lot of individual focus and attention from Joao and the other instructors which has helped my learning, coordination and overall fitness quite a bit. He also runs a kids program 2-3 times a week - and I'm thinking of enrolling my son (some father-son bonding). So, for anyone on the fence - BJJ at Joao Crus is a great physical activity and a fun way to instill some discipline, and self confidence for any age group!”

“We enrolled both our boys in June 2024. Coaches take good care of kids in training them and push the kids to do more by evaluating their limits. My older son loves a lot and I see he enjoys the class thoroughly. Younger one was reluctant initially but now he is very happy and comfortable. We are very happy with our kids progress and highly recommend this program. This will help to improve kids listening skills.”

“My 7-year-old has been attending for almost half a year, and it’s been a great experience. Coach Joao Cruz strikes the perfect balance—he’s strict but caring, and you can see that he and the other coaches genuinely love teaching the kids. It’s helped my child improve his focus, be more aware, and engage better with other kids. Highly recommend!”
