JJ Machado DFW

"My husband and all 3 of my boys (12, 9, and 3) train at the school. With the two locations, there are multiple class options. Our youngest does the Little Samurai classes. Eric does a great job using fun exercises to teach actual technique (our 3 year old knows take downs, mount, close guard, and even how to arm bar). The oldest two boys do the level 2 class as well as the level 3, designed for more advanced students who compete. They take private lessons through the school, which has increased their skill level significantly. Both older boys have competed and done very well (multiple medals, but also some much needed humbling experiences that have made them even better students). The school has been such a blessing to our family. We love it."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough good things about this Jiu Jitsu gym! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the facility is. The friendly staff greeted me with warmth and made me feel right at home. The coaching here is top-notch; the instructors are knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping each student improve. I especially appreciate the great ladies' team – it’s empowering to train with such strong and supportive women. The rolls during training are always fun and challenging, making each session a rewarding experience. If you’re looking for a welcoming environment to learn and grow in Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!"

"We love JJ Machado DFW! Coach Eric is a great instructor - both my husband and 5 year old goes here and I'm amazed at the level of detail and explanation he provides when teaching the young ones. Awesome place to learn Jiu Jitsu for both beginners and advanced levels!"

"I moved to Texas two years ago and was looking for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) gym to train at, then I found JJ Machado DFW. As an active BJJ competitor, I’ve found a home at this gym alongside great training partners and professionals who love doing Jiu Jitsu! Professor Eric, Ernesto, and Luke are world class, and great instructors for people of all ages and skill levels. This gym has become a second family to me after moving here with not knowing anyone. The no-contract, pay by the month system that is implemented is great and easy to navigate in terms of finances as well. Needless to say, I look forward to training here whenever I step on the mat. The relationships are genuine, and the passion that Eric and others have for this sport is second-to-none. If you are new to BJJ, an active hobbyist, or an active competitor like myself, JJ Machado DFW is where you need to be."
