From the reviews
Coach DC is one of the best Jiu Jitsu instructors around. Its almost like he just kind of dropped in. He is patient, kind, and innovative in his approach to teaching. Coach DC doesn't just teach moves and systems. He teaches us to make it our own. He helps us develop our own identity in Jiu Jitsu.
DC is a Fantastic instructor. He takes a very technical approach and has the ability to teach all levels of BJJ at a very high level. If you are looking to improve at BJJ the Subroom is an excellent spot with great people and great vibes. 10/10 recommend trying them out!
Awesome gym to train jiu jitsu. Coach DC teaches so even beginners can clearly understand the advanced concepts. If you're in the Magnolia / Woodlands area, I would highly recommend stopping by The Subroom!
I’ve trained at gyms all over the country, from the East Coast to the West Coast, and DC’s instruction genuinely stands out among the best I’ve experienced. The ability to teach in a way that actually translates to live rolling is something you don’t find everywhere. Highly recommend.
New to BJJ? Start at The Subroom
The Subroom 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 The Subroom
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.
