From the reviews
The best and chillest place to grapple in both gi and no-gi BJJ in south texas. There's a good mix of high-level competitors and beginners there. Several students here also go to UTRGV and are members of the BJJ club there.
Came down from Cali to visit family and decided to come do some training while on vacation. Myself a beginner when it comes to the gentle art, i was warmly greeted by the instructor and proceeded with drilling. The camaraderie and beginner friendly environment is great! Had a great time these guys are awesome!!
Eric is top notch, from his personality to BJJ teaching ability. His gym always has a good atmosphere, he promotes a positive and encouraging environment. He truly cares about his students, from the youngest to oldest.
Awesome place to train both as a casual practitioner and as a competitor. Very technical and beginner friendly for sure!
New to BJJ? Start at 80/20 Jiu-Jitsu
80/20 Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at 80/20 Jiu-Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
