“Professor Arnold teaches both children and adult classes with effective and detailed techniques that are always executed in a professional manner.”
From the reviews
Professor Arnold teaches both children and adult classes with effective and detailed techniques that are always executed in a professional manner. The location is ideal for those living just outside Corpus and surrounding areas.
Moved to this academy after trying two others in the area and Professor Arnold’s is by far the best. Clean, well-run, and professional. I highly recommend it for anyone in the area looking to learn BJJ or up their game!
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Barra Calallen
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.
