From the reviews

We started at this gym when they first opened the Preston Rd location. Unfortunately we left for a few months to pursue a more MMA environment and soon regretted it. Nothing compares to the all around professionalism and kindness from everyone at this gym. We are so happy we returned.

★★★★★ — Maria, Dec 2023

I don't normally leave reviews, but this place really deserves the highest recognition. I've been training here for a couple of months now and the experiences I've had with both the instructors and other people training have been nothing but positive.

★★★★★ — Molly, Sep 2022

Literally the best Jiu Jitsu academy Dallas has to offer! Both my boys aged 5 & 4 attend and you can really see the difference in their practice since they started with Gracie one. I highly recommend the professors here, in each class they have older & more advanced students assisting the younger ones.

★★★★★ — Jugar, Feb 2024

We could not be more grateful to have found Gracie one. Not only do both of our children love this sport but we have seen the changes it has made to them as individuals in a positive way! It feels like a big family here and the coaches truly care about the growth of each child/adult!

Your first BJJ class at Gracie ONE Jiu Jitsu Academy

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
