We love it here at Caio Terra! My eldest has been coming for 3.5 years and my middle started 6 months ago and they have learned so much! BJJ techniques are not the easiest to master, but their attention to detail and 1:1 interactions and feedback has helped my littles so much. They keep classes engaging and they especially love the games at the end of class that still helps with their techniques. I can't wait until my youngest is old enough to start. They just started a little littles class to 4-6. My two are currently in the kids class for 6+. My husband also joined and has been coming for a little over 2 years. I just need to join to really make it a family affair read more

Such a great place to train BJJ for both kids and adults. I have trained here for the past 2 years mainly at the 6am classes while my two children train at their 5pm kids class. Professor and coaches are great and the curriculum is very well organized. Has a family atmosphere and I've only had good experiences with the training partners that are here. Highly recommend! read more

I've been training here since 2020 and the CTA curriculum is top notch. Collin is an excellent coach with tons of experience. Lots of classes to choose from and a wide variety of people to roll with. Young, old, hobbyist and competitors. Whatever your goal or speed you want to train this place has it for you! Bonus if you are an early riser because we have a good group of morning psychos that train at 6! read more

This academy has truly become my second home. Starting BJJ as a mature woman can be intimidating, but this academy immediately felt like a safe and supportive place to grow. Professor Collin is excellent, the culture is respectful, and I have found both comfort and confidence on the mats. I am truly grateful to train here and be part of this team! read more

As soon as you walk into the gym, you can tell it is more than a gym, is a family. First time i met Coach Collin Grayson, he made me feel like part of the team, and since then I've been part of it for more than a year. Great Coach, awesome teammates and you get to learn personal defense for all ages. The schedule is very diverse and you get to try 3 days for free before making a decision. Definitely give it a go if you are thinking of working out while doing something fun or if you got your kid bored at home playing video games, here he gets to learn jiu jitsu while having fun and is a good way to learn discipline at such a young each.

I initially started my jiujitsu journey in 2016 at another CTA location in Springfield, MO. I eventually moved back to Dallas, stopped training for a couple of years and found I was anxious to get back into training jiujitsu in 2021. I found Professor Collin's CTA location through a Google search in April 2022, and I've not looked back since. It's the premier location for training jiujitsu, through Professor Collin's knowledge, usage of Professor Caio Terra's curriculum, and Professor Collin's expertise of the art. The environment is welcoming, friendly, safe, clean, and fun. Patience is abound with the lessons taught and Professor Collin has a way of teaching each part of the curriculum to reach almost every type of learning style. I honestly cannot say enough good things about CTA-Irving. Gi and no-gi classes are offered throughout the week, along with kid's classes and open mats. I'm so happy I joined CTA-Irving in April of 2022- it's one of the absolute best decisions I could have made for myself! One Team, One Family. read more

Caio Terra is one of the most highly regarded names in the Brazilian jiu Jitsu industry, and Collin Grayson is among the top representatives of Caio's organization. If you are looking to compete in BJJ, learn self-defense, or just get into great shape while doing something that will improve your life, you could not ask for a better place to accomplish any of these goals. Jiu Jitsu is an excellent for children learning to become BULLY-PROOF, an amazing means for women to empower themselves, but what makes this place special is Collin...he brings a professional, yet friendly and attentive approach to the art. read more

When I started I was looking for somewhere to learn that was structured and clean. I was 38. Bad knees. I didn't want a place where you went and it was well guys what y'all want to do today. I didn't want a lot of "ufc" guys going crazy every day. I wanted to learn. I also wanted a place for my 13, 11, and 9 year old daughters and niece to learn. I found that and more here. When I first walked in I asked Professor what y'all doing next week? He pulled out a calendar with the next three months. I watched him teach and took a class. I signed up shortly after. Been here over a year now. It was and is more than I thought I would find in an academy, a coach, and a family environment for and old guy like me that wanted to learn to grapple. "One team one family" is what CTA is about, come be part of it with us. read more

Awesome people, technique and training. I'd recommend anyone from advanced to beginner train here. Excellent, high level instruction from Collin in a friendly, safe and clean environment. Osu read more
