From the reviews
Gracie Barra Argyle is a wonderful new GB location in Argyle, TX. The head instructor, Alejandro Siquiera is a 4th degree black belt who is an accomplished instructor and gi/no-gi competitor. I was fortunate to train under Professor Alejandro previously and was able recently to train again at his school in Argyle.
My 9 year old daughter and I recently started taking Jiu Jitsu here at Gracie Barra Argyle, and I'm so grateful that we chose this school to train. Professor Alejandro Siqueira is the lead instructor, a 4th-degree black belt, and has over 30 years of Jiu Jitsu experience.
Absolutely amazing BJJ school! I couldn’t recommend Alejandro Siqueira and his Gracie Barra academy enough. He’s not only a multiple-time IBJJF champion and World No-Gi Champion, but also an incredible instructor who genuinely cares about his students’ progress.
Professor Alejandro is such genuine person who goes out of his way to ensure that all those who wish to train, do. He is passionate about the sport and is world class. Truly a great mentor, and an even better human being. I can’t recommend this location and instructor more.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu Argyle
Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu Argyle 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 Jiu-Jitsu Argyle
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.
