From the reviews
World Class Jiu Jitsu found right here. I travel throughout the states and even internationally frequently and always find a place to train while away from home. This place holds the bar and can be held up against any jiu jitsu school in the world.
Great Seminar at Midtown MMA Houston with the legend "XANDE" Alexandre Ribeiro, commonly known as “Xande” Ribeiro is a legendary jiu-jitsu competitor and one of the founding members of the Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Association.
I have been training here for about two years. Professor Martinez and Professor Farias are both excellent instructors, and the team is filled with a great group of guys and girls at every experience level.
I dropped in for a class and had a good time. The instruction of technique was detailed and methodical. We actually covered some judo throws during my visit. When it came time to roll, I matched up with some upper belts and had a blast. Good attitudes, Fun gym.
New to BJJ? Start at Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu Midtown
Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu Midtown 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 Midtown
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. 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.
