From the reviews
Every class at our school is a true gift. I deeply appreciate how our Head instructor - Professor Cameron Price - a Black Belt with over twenty years of experience, leads us with such clarity, kindness, and dedication. Each class is thoughtfully structured, technically precise, and full of meaningful ideas.
I joined our school from the Open Day as a student of the Gracie Combatives and Women Empowered programs. And I love it - a pleasant, friendly atmosphere between students and the teacher, which is supported by a Black Belt Head Instructor - Cameron Price.
My daughter recently completed the 10-day trial at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and she absolutely loved it. Coach Cameron does an amazing job making the class fun and engaging while teaching essential anti-bullying techniques.
We absolutely love Gracie Jiu-Jitsu! My daughter just completed her third Jiu-Jitsu class, and she is already hooked. She finds every session incredibly fun and engaging. Coach Cameron does a phenomenal job making the material interesting for the kids, and his instructions are crystal clear.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu North Austin
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu North Austin 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 Jiu-Jitsu North Austin
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.
