From the reviews
Coach Shane is legit. I trained under him a few years ago, and now both my son (12) and daughter (10) are training with him. He builds their confidence by ensuring there is daily sparring, and ensuring the higher belts not only get their reps against each other, but can pair off with lower levels to help them improve…
I have been training here for a few months now. Coach Shane and the rest of the team have been amazing. I have learned so much. I look forward to attending class each time I go. There is a true feeling of teamwork and camaraderie here.
I recently had the opportunity to visit True Jiu-Jitsu in Round Rock, Texas, and I must say it was an incredible experience. From the moment I stepped foot in the academy, I felt welcomed and embraced by the warm and friendly atmosphere. The students at True Jiu-Jitsu are truly exceptional.
Great people, great place! If you’re looking for a jiujitsu family, this is it. I have 3 kids that train with Shane and he is always on the mats with the classes. He puts in 100% all the time.
New to BJJ? Start at True JiuJitsu Academy
True JiuJitsu Academy 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 True JiuJitsu Academy
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.
