From the reviews
My kids have been attending for a few weeks now. It's a little further from our house than I initially wanted, but all the closer ones are only T/Th. It's well worth the drive! My 9 year old is the beginners kids and 13 year old is with the adults.
I have been training at Falcon BJJ for the past couple weeks and everyone there is amazing. Great people, great environment and Great Owners. I recommend if your ever in Waxahachie TX come visit this place and bring your kids and friends , you will enjoy it.
James, Tabitha, and Coach Mica are great. They are like family to us, and they treat everyone as if they are part of their family. I highly recommend anyone who wants to train or bring their kids to learn and train with them, to come and join us.
This joint has been a 2nd home to me now for approximately 3yrs. James and Tab (owners) are the best. They have created an environment that is beyond “family friendly” to one that is “whole family inclusive”.
New to BJJ? Start at Falcon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Falcon 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 Falcon 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.
