Vandry Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

"A Traditional academy in the era of MacDojos... I've been training at Vandry Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about 5 years. If you are looking for instant gratification, to challenge other meatheads in "open mat" sessions, to become the next UFC champion, or just a place to "roll around" in your fancy rashguard (most of the training at Vandry is done in Gi)...then this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking to: travel back to a time when you respect your instructors (yes, you even bow to them sometimes), drill (a lot) to learn and understand techniques, train safely with great partners (yes Mr. Whitebelt, no heel hooks or punch chokes during rolling until you demonstrate control^^), and understand that there is no shortcut to mastery - that each rank is EARNED (like the old way)...then this might be the place you're looking for. Professor Willian Vandry is a 6th degree Black Belt, and has competed (very successfully) in Pan-Am tournaments; he is the real deal. If it's any indication, people like Master Carlos Machado or Sensei Bas Rutten show up for private seminars sometimes... So yes, it's not a "gym", or a "factory"...and a "small number of long term students" IS telling. In fact, last seminar there were ~17 Blacks Belts in attendance... Quality Vs Quantity? You be the judge."

"Vandry Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers an energetic and well-structured Kickboxing class in a fun, supportive environment. The coaches are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful, ensuring everyone progresses. The gym is spotless, and the pricing is affordable, making it a top choice for anyone looking to train."

"This is the best school around for anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu. Professor William Vandry teaches almost every class and provides complete technical breakdowns of each technique. He has a deep bench of advanced black belt students who regularly assist. The classes for children are really good and very safety focused. There are kickboxing/ striking class twice a week. It’s the perfect place in Austin Texas to begin or continue your martial arts journey."
