From the reviews
My son absolutely loves the classes. If he could he would be here seven days a week. Lucio has given Ben great instruction and built his self confidence. I would recommend Seeds 13 to anyone.
Professor RC was INCREDIBLE. WOW. This gym is a true gem in Abilene. Clean, friendly, organized, and hard work. If you are questioning a gym to train at in Abilene, THIS is the place to go to!! You won’t regret it! Wonderful teammates and a spectacular atmosphere!! Thank you again Professor RC for welcoming us!!
In Abilene for a few days on military orders. I was looking for a place to train after work, and I’m glad I found this gym. The training was legit and everyone was a tough roll. Also more importantly, the Black belt and the rest of the team were very welcoming. Thanks for having me, OSS! Glad I went!🤙🏽
There isn’t a better place to train! Professor Lucio is a true leader! He’s attentive, kind and very knowledgeable! I started Jiu-Jitsu at 38, not having any idea what to expect. It’s been amazing. Truly life changing. Professor Lucio caters to all levels of experience in a way that’s unmatched.
New to BJJ? Start at Seeds 13 Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Abilene, TX
Seeds 13 Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Abilene, TX comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Seeds 13 Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Abilene, TX
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.
