-Bethany

Had an awesome first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class today! Super welcoming coaches and a great vibe all around. Learned a ton and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

-Sasha

I took the self-defense class yesterday. My muscles are now sore so it was a good workout. I didn’t notice how much of a workout it was though because the techniques and moves and limb movements were the main focuses of the class. That’s a good thing lol. I recommend it

This is the best place to train Jiu Jitsu! Not only is Professor Ricardo a fantastic instructor but he is also an awesome human being and friend! It's great to have a place like GB North Austin where you learn new skills, some things about yourself, and make new friends. I never realized I would feel some welcome while learning a martial art. Thanks Professor!
