From the reviews
I highly recommend anyone to come try a class here at Gracie Barra College Station. Professor Milton along with Coach Amanda and Daniel have classes for everyone in all levels of BJJ. Apart from great instructors, the school has a welcoming environment and great atmosphere.
My son Garrick has attended Gracie Barra since 2023. The facilities are new and well maintained. The instructors are attentive and treat my boy like a family member. This is a great place to instill confidence in children and adults. We enjoy every bit of Garricks Jiu Jitsu journey with Gracie Barra.
Visited from Canada with my 7 yr old daughter. Her and I both participated in a class. The coaches were so amazing with my girl. She suddenly felt overwhelmed stepping on the mats with none of her friends and Luandra and Amanda made her feel welcome. Before I knew it she was with the rest of the kids.
Five stars! I walked in a total newbie, never practiced any form of martial arts. From the coaches to the members, everyone there wrapped me in this amazing sense of community. The coaches are more than just instructors - they're passionate teachers who genuinely care about helping you improve.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Barra Bryan Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing
Gracie Barra Bryan Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing 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 Gracie Barra Bryan Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing
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.
