From the reviews

I’m able to train at different Jiu Jitsu gyms all over the country because of my career. I came across Narvaez Jiu Jitsu and I’m so incredibly happy about it. The level of instruction from Professor Roger was phenomenal. His attention to detail and the way he taught made it great. I picked up so much.

★★★★★ — Ben, May 2026

Dropped in here for NoGi training twice while in Corpus Christi for work. Roger was super welcoming and the training was great both times. Learned about shadow wrestling which I‘ve never seen done in any other gym and which will be a great addition to my training. Great people to roll with, too.

★★★★★ — Falk, Jan 2026

I have been coming to this gym for the past 2 years and it has honestly been one of the best things I could have ever done! I have met some amazing people and made great friends. I also have learned so much from my coach’s in Jujutsu, even more now that we have a women’s class and a wrestling class.

★★★★★ — Sabryna, Sep 2024

I’ve had such a great experience being part of this team the past couple years. So much variety of knowledge throughout all the coaches. If you’re a hobbyist or competitor, there’s a place for you at this gym.

Your first BJJ class at Narvaez Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

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.
