From the reviews
Have had my son coming here for over 6 months and it has been an amazing experience and now a part of life. Coach Victor is the best! He does a great job training the little ones with patience and focus. My son has not only learned a skill but has learned self discipline and respect.
Been around bjj for a while now and have trained at a few different places. Professor Victor is a great teacher and really makes things easy to understand. He’s a professional. The gym itself is one of the cleanest, if not the cleanest I’ve ever been to.
Our 7y.o daughter attends SOTX BJJ, amazing professor and coaches. Promoting self defense, positive outlook, life lessons, and confidence. They make the class fun and the kids develop personal connections. Highly recommend!!
Son has taken 3 introductory classes and he likes it. Coaches are great with the students.
New to BJJ? Start at South Texas Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, LLC
South Texas Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, LLC 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 South Texas Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, LLC
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.
