From the reviews
came in from another GB gym to train over the holidays. whoever runs the chat function on here was very helpful and responsive to let me know the holiday schedule. prof buddy and the team are all very welcoming and super friendly. great grapplers. facility is clean and easy to find. def will return whenever im in town.
I figured I give it a year before providing feedback on the academy, so here it is. I wanted to start bjj for the longest time and finally made the decision a year ago.
Now that my girls’ ONE YEAR Jiu Jitsu anniversary has come and gone just this month- I am leaving an honest review and I am confident in saying that they will celebrate MANY MORE anniversaries here at GB Burleson! The coaches and the team at GB Burleson are hands down THE BEST! It’s a “family” vibe.
Professor Buddy is the trainer you want your kids to be coached by. One can see it by the way he teaches kids how to conduct themselves, learning jiu-jitsu, learn respect, teamwork. WOW! There is so much I can say about him, but that would be unfair to the rest of the amazing coaches that give their 200%.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Barra Burleson Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Gracie Barra Burleson 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 Gracie Barra Burleson 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.
