From the reviews
We were visiting family in Brownwood and brought our 10 year old daughter for a workout. The coaching was excellent and everyone was friendly including the parents. Great experience for our daughter, she learned 2 new takedowns and we’ll come back when we visit again.
I travel for work and try to look for great gyms to train at. If your in the Brownwood TX area --- Look no further---- Immediately you feel the sense of family and that you belong. The environment is so welcoming by the Instructors and Students!!
18 year military vet, 9 year Brazilian jiujitsu brown belt. I’ve traveled and trained at a lot of places over the years and if you are going through or near Brownwood, you need to make the time to train with Wes. If you live near Brownwood, you should definitely train at this location.
Was in brownwood for the weekend vacation, was able to attend a morning an open mat though the morning class was not what I was expecting was still fun. The owner was very knowledgeable about combative a was able to work with me on stuff I have never down his patience was appreciated.
Your first BJJ class at ShadowHouse South 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.
