MA BJJ Academy - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Irving

“This gym has a great Professor who is well known for running a reputable BJJ gym with high ethics and quality instruction. I have been training BJJ a few years and am looking to potentially make a move so I took a trial advanced class and was very impressed at the high level of instruction and detail that was taught by Professor Antelante. I liked that he selected our training and rolling partners. All the people I trained with were excellent training partners for me and I felt very safe and cared for. Professor Antelante demonstrated the move and then walked around and helped all the students and watched us roll very carefully and provided encouragement and feedback. He also took time after class to get to know me and he is a legend so I found that to be very cool! As I woman, I felt like part of the team and although I went to a nogi class, which typically attracts more men, there were 3 women there! Everyone was friendly and nice and I would highly recommend this gym!”

“Best ju jitsu gym in the DFW! I took trial classes at other gyms before MA but none were the same. The professors are real practitioners but also have a teachers heart and are able to properly coach you! Gym is full of champions and people who love to improve. Whether you’re a seasoned student looking to test your skills or a beginner! Highly recommend it”

“My husband and I trained here a few times, Marcus and his wife Victoria are very welcoming and kind hearted people. Marcus truly cares about your jiu-jitsu journey and goes the extra miles to make sure you understand the technique. We would definitely go there and train if we didn't live so far away! If you are in the area, looking for great BJJ – MA BJJ is absolutely the way to go!”

“I was in Dallas for just one night and wanted to find a place to train. A really good friend I was staying with is a member at this gym, so we decided to get after it. It turned out to be a great experience. The class size was solid, especially for a Friday evening. The coach was skilled and very thorough in his instruction. I’d definitely recommend this gym and plan to come back the next time I’m in Dallas.”

“A few of my friends dropped in on an a women's class lead by Professor Victoria and were later welcomed to join one of the regular classes lead by Professor Marcus. Both classes had functional warm ups, plenty of time to drill the techniques being taught that day and also plenty of time to get in some rolls with a wide variety of skill levels. Both Professors and their students were super welcoming, there was plenty of mat space and facility was clean. Excited for the next all women's training opportunity and to bring my Husband for a regular class!”
