Midland BJJ

“I’ve trained over a year at this gym. Midland Bjj has become a second home and family to me. Coach Brad is always available to help and support his students far beyond any normal expectation. I’ve come so far on this journey I can’t imagine training anywhere else. I feel so blessed to have found this gym. Thank you Coach Brad!”

“I joined in the beginning of 2024 moving from another gym in San Diego. I was instantly in love with this place after my first class. The jiu jitsu Brad and the other coaches teach is next level. I travel to a lot of other gyms all over the country and it is incredible to see how what we learn at Midland bjj is practical, effective, and above average in all regards. I love the community here. If you want a tough competitive battle you will find that here. If you want a flow roll you can find that here. If you want to work on technique or just pick someone's brain and drill you can find that here. The class structure is fantastic and the techniques are broken down and taught step by step in a way that is palatable to someone on day 1. I really love the rock and roll vibe and the people that are members here are so friendly and willing to share their knowledge. The vibe Brad puts off in the gym inspires me to be a better version of myself. He pushes his students to be intentional with training, to push their limits to better themselves in all aspects and i appreciate that it really helps me focus on my goal not just in the gym but in my life all around. I am happy I chose to join Midland bjj and am excited to continue this journey with them and watch my game grow and improve every month! I encourage anyone interested in MMA or jiu jitsu to come by and try out a class. You will be hooked just like I was 🔥”

“Midland BJJ has been an incredible place to train. From day one, I was welcomed in and pushed to grow—not just as a grappler, but as a person. The environment is disciplined, supportive, and focused on getting better every time you step on the mat. Coach Brad Barnes is one of the best instructors I’ve had the chance to learn from. He has a way of breaking things down that just makes sense, whether you’re brand new or have years of experience. He genuinely cares about every student’s progress and creates an atmosphere where hard work and respect matter. If you’re in Midland and looking for a place to train, I can’t recommend Midland BJJ enough. Great people, great coaching, and a team that pushes you to be better every single day.”

“Came in from out of town, did a drop in class, clean gym, super nice and straight forward with technique, Triton Fight Center affiliate so you know it's good proper techniques being taught, Professor is straight forward with explaining, and great music taste. Had a blast rolling with their team! 10/10 gym would recommend for a drop in or consistent training!”

“I’ve known Brad for 15 years. He mentored me through my fight career and had always been a constant support in my career. We recently had him out to Frisco for a seminar, everyone loved it. Brad has so much experience coaching and teaching both law enforcement and civilians, I would recommend that anyone close to Midland BJJ definitely take advantage of the opportunity to train with him.”
