John's Gym Mixed Martial Arts and Jiu Jitsu

"I first moved to the Austin area last year and was looking to get back into the gentle art as I took a long hiatus from training. John's Gym welcomed me with open arms and offer a variety of options for anyone of any stage in training. It is also nice and convenient that you are able to train at any of the three locations without additional fees. I would strongly recommend their gym to anyone looking to pursue or continue training in BJJ as well as their other sports offered!"

"I first went to John's Gym on suggestion from a work acquaintance. I found the gym especially awesome! I find the instructors and fellow teammates encouraging and engaging. I found training in the stand-up striking arts of Boxing and Muay Thai increased my physical conditioning, striking skill, confidence and improved my focus and concentration. From time to time I also worked in some BJJ. The BJJ instructors are accomplished and the more experienced teammates provide timely and critical instructions. I am NOT a younger dude and enjoyed training with men and women of all ages (kids have their own times and events separate from the adults). Each person is treated with respect and provided with tons of opportunity to improve technique and skill level. I recommend John's Gym to EVERYONE. You will improve your physical and mental conditioning and gather some confidence and hands on experience in the fighting arts!"

"I joined John's Gym two years ago with zero experience in Jiu Jitsu. From that day forward I’ve never even considered going anywhere else. John’s gym is always clean, has a great vibe, and the instructors are excellent! Both the guys and girls who train here are friendly, respectful, and whether you’re a black belt or first day white belt they will make you feel welcome. There are no egos/drama—just a great community where everyone is here to learn, get a workout, and have fun. The owners, Kylie and James are some of the best people you’ll ever meet. We are a few weeks away from our first baby and I can’t wait to get her training with James who runs the kids classes. I’ve talked to him quite a bit and you can tell he loves teaching the kids and going to the competitions. Can't wait for that! I can’t recommend John’s Gym enough—it’s more than just a gym, it’s a community and one I plan to be a part of for a very long time! 10/10!"

"I've been training at this MMA gym for years, and I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The coaching is truly top-tier—every coach is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in helping each student improve. The technique taught here is outstanding, whether you're training for fitness, self-defense, or competition. What really sets this gym apart is the diverse and welcoming community. You’ll find people from all walks of life—different backgrounds, skill levels, and goals—who come together to train, learn, and push each other in a positive and respectful environment. It’s a place where you can grow both physically and mentally, and where the culture of hard work and mutual support is real. If you're looking for an MMA gym with world-class coaching, high-level technique, and a great team atmosphere, this is the place."
