From the reviews
My kids and I previously trained at another academy for several years before switching to this one. Prior to switching I had heard nothing but great things about Professor Greg and Professor Phillip from other practitioners and students of there’s.
Fantastic! I was lucky enough to be able to drop in for a couple visits and I was welcomed with open arms! If you are looking for a place to train where you will learn some amazing jiu jitsu and train with an amazing coach and group Of people, Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu DFW is it!
I was in town for work and was looking for a drop-in class while staying near DFW. I reached out to Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu DFW and from the beginning, they were super helpful, responsive to all of my questions, and very hospitable.
Everyone in this gym has been excellent to roll with. Professor Phillip truly cares about your safety and that you continue to learn. I've been training for roughly 3 months and it's been fantastic.
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu DFW
Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu DFW 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 Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu DFW
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.
