What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Marcus Douthitt

"Great place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Two black belt instructors that keep the training and instruction diverse, along with a great group of people to train with. Definitely a gym to check out if you haven't."

Mark Spanton

"An awesome school to learn and train. My son had been attending classes for two years now, he loves it. My 4 year old daughter started training a few months ago and see loves going to class. I myself started training in October and am now hooked. World class instruction from Todd, Joseph and Marcus. Megan and Kate create a family atmosphere. The other members are awesome, no drama, it’s like one big family. I recommend them to anyone who’s interested in learning and training."

Cody Roberts

"Really a great gym and the instructors are exceptional. I've been pleased with the facilities and there are more than enough classes for me to always make it when I want. Shout out to "The Professor" Marcus for all the help!"

Angela Presta

"I can't say enough great things about this jiu jitsu school. My son has been training here for a year and a half and its become his second home. When we moved to Austin almost two years ago, we tried multiple gyms to find a great fit and we definitely hit the nail on the head with this place! Amazing training by three black belt coaches and a close knit community, whom have become some of our closest friends. Being a newbie to Austin, these people and this place have come to mean so much to my family. Watching our son love training here recently motivated my husband and I to learn this sport, as well!! We are both beginners, but everyone has been so supportive and helpful! I’m a germaphobe and this places gets my seal of approval for cleanliness. I rarely take the time to write a review, but this place is definitely worth it!"
