Nexus Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

“Nexus Jiu Jitsu is an amazing place to learn “the gentle art”. Coach James is passionate about grappling and has several years of experience teaching children and adults. He works hard to help all of his students achieve their fitness goals with patience and kindness. He takes time to break down techniques in a way that is easy for students to understand, from white belt to black belt. The mats are always freshly cleaned and the atmosphere is respectful, friendly and focused. I can’t say enough great things about Nexus Jiu Jitsu!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing James Sherry for a few years, and I can say without a doubt that he’s one of the most genuine and dedicated people I know—both on and off the mats. As a jiu-jitsu black belt and experienced coach, James brings a wealth of knowledge and technical skill to Nexus BJJ. But what truly sets him apart is his patience, humility, and passion for helping others succeed. With his background as a public school teacher, James has a rare ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and connect with students of all ages and learning styles. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or you’re a seasoned grappler, you’ll feel supported, challenged, and encouraged every step of the way. If you’re looking for a jiu-jitsu school led by someone who genuinely cares and leads with integrity, I can’t recommend James and his academy enough. Congrats on the NEW school James!”

“I have trained with Professor James from white belt to purple belt, while he was a brown & black belt. He is a wonderful training partner and instructor. When he rolls he practices and encourages safety, even when rolling hard & competitively. I plan to continue to train under James when I can. He is a great person off the mat as well. I highly recommend Nexus!!”

“If you're looking for a place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with amazing people and top-level instruction, Nexus is it. James is a very knowledgeable teacher with high level skills all around, whether you are trying to get in shape or prepare for competition he is there for you to guide you through it.”

“I have done many 1 on 1 training sessions and group sessions with James Sherry the instructor at Nexus Jui-Jitsu and each time walked away with a new skill I didn’t possess before. James has helped me with my Jui jitsu game and has become a close friend in the process, he has also helped me prepare and then coach me in tournaments all around Texas. Very few coaches out there that possess his knowledge, teaching abilities, and approachable character.”
