From the reviews
As a professional martial arts school owner, I understand the benefits of affiliation. And there is simply no one better than Master Carlos Machado. After training jiu-jitsu and grappling from various sources, I was aware that a structured curriculum was essential to the success of our school.
I am truly blessed to be part of the CMJJ affiliation. My BJJ journey has changed in extremely positive ways since I met Master Machado. The affiliation training in Dallas multiple times a year gives me the opportunity to train with my sister and brothers from around the world in a professional but in a family like…
We joined the Carlos Machado Jiujitsu association 2 years ago and that was the hands down the best business decision that we have made and never looked back. It is a very family oriented vibe at HQ and other affiliate schools, customer service and over all acceptance from members when starting out was and still is…

New to BJJ? Start at Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu Association
Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu Association comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu Association
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.
