From the reviews
My Son Anthony has been attending Gracie Barra here in Cedar Park since Feb 17' and the progression in his skill and confidence is very noticeable. Prof Fabio and cast of coaches (Ryan, Joe, Ivan) are really great with the kids. I would highly recommend starting your kid ASAP
We love Professor Fabio and all of the coaches at Gracie Barra! My son has been attending for almost two years and has made so many good friends. He is learning about respect, self defense and discipline. He loves to compete and everyone is so supportive. 💙❤️
Took my 2 kids 7 and 9 to a free class that they provide and both kids love it. They needed something to occupy their time and this was definitely it. I've been a fan of Royce Gracie since I saw the first UFC Championship back in the 90's and in my opinion Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is The Best in the world and it's…
Great environment for kids. BJJ is excellent for building character, confidence, respect, resilience and community. Gracie Barra has a methodology followed by hundreds of schools all over the world.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Barra Cedar Park Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense
Gracie Barra Cedar Park Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense 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 Cedar Park Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense
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.
