From the reviews
I've been training here for 4 years, since I've started BJJ. The leadership is top notch, Eddie, Eder, Monique, Sebastian have cultivated a great environment. Its a real family atmosphere, everyone looks out for each other. I can't imagine training anywhere else.
Cobra BJJ is a family run business that will immediately make you feel part of the team. Professor Eddie Ricardo has years of experience and knowledge that’s hard to duplicate. The gym is full of humble upper belts, who are willing to roll with anyone and share their knowledge.
I've been training here for over 7 years and started completely out of shape and with no martial arts or grappling background. This is a great place to foster anyone coming off the couch or those coming from other gyms. The coaches are all accomplished and great at teaching to whatever level you're at.
This gym deserves all the stars that exist. We recently moved to Plano and we found a home at Cobra BJJ. It’s a beautiful community and we are so grateful we found it. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable probably the best out there and the people that come to the gym become like family.
New to BJJ? Start at Cobra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Cobra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Cobra Brazilian 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.
