From the reviews
I am not new to Jiu Jitsu. I’ve been on this journey for nearly 7 years. I am a small, middle-aged female grappler, and I have found over the years, that women need other women of similar size to roll with. I have this here at Six Blades Ft. Worth. I love the growth of Women's Jiu Jitsu here!
I moved from south Florida and my school American Top Team, Coral Springs. My professors reviewed different schools in the Fort Worth area as they knew that, despite this being a hobby, it was going to be difficult for me emotionally to leave and wanted to provide feedback on a school.
I’ve trained all over the world and the program in place at Six Blades Fort Worth is one of the best I’ve seen. The facility is run in the true martial arts style and is clean and orderly.
We absolutely love this school! My 6 year old son has been attending the Little Ninjas class for a few months, after experiencing some bullying at school and he has definitely gained his confidence back. The instructor is patient and teaches discipline while also bringing the fun.
New to BJJ? Start at Six Blades Jiu-jitsu Fort Worth
Six Blades Jiu-jitsu Fort Worth 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 Six Blades Jiu-jitsu Fort Worth
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.
