From the reviews
If you’re looking for a legit Jiu Jitsu and MMA gym in Brownwood, this is it. I worked the street with the owner. He’s not just a coach, he’s the real deal. I’ve personally seen him apply these techniques in real-world situations under stress, and I would trust him with my life without hesitation.
Austin is a true professional, wonderful instructor, overall great human being annd one of the hardest guards I’ve ever tried to pass. Austin didn’t have to open up his own academy however for the love of sport and martial arts, he did. I highly recommend him and the school.
Super clean and friendly environment. My son's first time trying MMA and Jiu Jitsu but was made to feel like he fit right in with everyone else immediately. Definitely friendly for all levels including beginner.
Blue Lion is an amazing group of individuals willing to go out of their way to welcome others to train and work hard at their individual unique goals. Don’t hesitate to reach out to blue Lion and speak to Austin about your experiences and skills. We are a No judgement facility.
New to BJJ? Start at Blue Lion American Jiu Jitsu
Blue Lion American 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 Blue Lion American 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.
