Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Southwest Austin 11210 U.S. 290, Austin, TX 78737

"The folks at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Southwest are fantastic at explaining an attack's psychology and stages so you can understand what you need to do at certain times. They take great care in explaining all of the components of a skill, ensuring you understand not only what to do but when and why you're doing it. Most importantly, they explain the principles of Jiu-Jitsu throughout. They stress safety during drills & monitor the group, jumping in to help as needed. I often work one-on-one with an instructor, even during group class. They take time to answer every question. My classmates are fantastic ladies who are always positive and create a supportive atmosphere. I’m always greeted by name and genuinely feel welcomed. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Southwest. I joined during a difficult period when I thought I had no control. Being a member has added more fitness to my life, increased my confidence, and brought me to this beautiful community. 10 out of 10 ~ highly recommend!!"

"I cannot say enough about this gym. The instructors are the sweetest people I have ever met and genuinely care about teaching you and helping you. The way the program is structured is fantastic and really helps develop your skills at a manageable pace. Even the other students are incredible and I have made so many good friends already! I HIGHLY recommend coming in and checking it out. It is the best decision I have made for myself in a long time! I have been here about 2 months but I already feel 100% better and more confident in being able to defend myself! It is also SO MUCH FUN."

"We have 2 children participating at 2 different levels. Both children love their classes. Instructors are amazing, consistent and very kid friendly."

"This is a great place if you want to learn jiu jitsu and be in a supportive, nurturing, respectful environment. The owners, coaches and staff (especially Alice at the front) are all great and friendly. Coach Lee and Coach Christina (the owners) really care about everyone that comes through the doors. They are so welcoming, patient, and talented regardless if you are a kid or adult. There is a jiu jitsu place that is only 5 minutes from my house, but after coming here we knew this was the place to be even though it was 20 minutes away. I originally came here for my 6 year old boy, but since the trial was free and ten days long, my 8 year old girl decided to give it a try as well. After the trial, she was faced with continuing gymnastics (which she loved and had been doing for 3 years), or stay with jiu jitsu. It was too much for us to do both. She chose jiu jitsu because she really enjoyed the classes, was instantly comfortable with the coaches, and liked the other kids in the class. My wife and were so surprised. Our kids have been here now for half a year and they are just as excited to come like it was their first day. They truly seem like they have joy every time they are at practice."
