Violet Crown Jiu Jitsu

“I looked around at lots of gyms before deciding on Violet Crown. I’ve been here about 3 months now and love it. I was hesitant to try any sort of martial art because I didn’t want to get injured by someone cranking a submission or hitting me in the head, and I didn’t want a skin infection. When I walked in, I noticed that the mats were clean and dry. Hygiene is a priority for this community and Rudy, the head coach, sets an example by cleaning the mats and gear or staying home if he feels sick. Rudy is a great coach and his students are helpful and welcoming of all skill levels, which I really appreciate as a woman in a sport that is mostly male. Some people are there for competitions and MMA, I’m there for fun and people dial back their intensity accordingly so we can all train and benefit. It has a good mix of beginners and advanced practitioners, both among the men and women. If I don’t feel comfortable with something, the instructors are great with finding modifications. Plus, no one is ever pressured to partner with someone they don’t want to. VC truly is a community. I feel lucky to be a part of it. I get to have fun, get stronger, develop my mind, and learn self defense!”

“I love this place. After moving from Dallas I needed to find a new place to train. I looked everywhere around my area for quite a while and I'm so glad I found Violet Crown Jiu Jitsu. Rudy is amazing and he truly cares about his students. He's always providing tips and feedback on how to improve your form and why it's important! I go to the Muay Thai Padwork classes and they are a lot of fun, more importantly I always feel like I'm learning something new in a safe environment and burning a few calories in the process!”

“Rudy Rexx is the best!!! He’s well known and respected amongst my professors, so there was no question in where I would train in Austin. Great gym, with a bunch of people ready to go all in during training. What more could you ask for?!”

“Really great gym. Awesome vibes for improving your jiu jitsu. Everyone is very inviting and all of the instructors are super knowledgeable. Rudy does a great job of helping you no matter where your game is at. Whether you’re looking for a new home gym or just somewhere to pop in for an open mat while you’re in town - this is the spot.”

“Violet Crown Jiujitsu is the place you want to be. Professor Rudy has a welcoming down to earth environment . My kiddos train here and within a year. My kiddos competed in Naga, Grappling Industries, Jiujitsu World League. Coach Noah trains kids class and in time have your littles ready to compete if interested. Professor Rexx teaches Adults and kids. There are other great coaches for Adults. My son is now trains with adults. You don’t have to compete and you can train without worrying about injuries. We joined after pandemic and it has build confidence, obedience, cardio and alertness. Teachers at school tell me whatever I’m doing for my Son or Daughter is great. Thank you Professor Rexx!!”
