From the reviews
I travel a lot and dont get to train much due to the lack of academies that are in the cities i travel to.i was heading to texarkana for the first time for work. I searched for a jits place and this was the first thing that popped up. I decided to give it a try and boy am i glad i did.
My exposure to jiu jitsu started nearly two years ago when we enrolled my son for something to help with his discipline and provide a physical outlet for him. After watching my son for a few months, I knew I had to give it a try. Training at Texarkana Jiu Jitsu with Coach Marc has been nothing short of life changing.
Awesome place to train. I have trained in other schools before coming to TXK BJJ. I was shocked at how well established this school is. BJJ schools with a black belt lead instructor are not a dime-a-dozen.
Excellent gym! Excellent workout! I have never had formal training in any martial art, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully the atmosphere of the gym is very inviting and accommodating of all skill levels. I have appreciated the higher belts taking their time to break down the basics with me.
New to BJJ? Start at Texarkana Jiu Jitsu
Texarkana Jiu Jitsu 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 Texarkana 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.
