JJMachado in Colleyville is the real deal! My husband and I were searching for another place to train BJJ when we found professor Eric's gym. We can't say enough great things about it! Highly recommend for children and adults!

The JJ Machado DFW Academy run by Professor Eric is about as legit if a Jiu Jitsu Academy as you will find. His lineage comes straight from Master Jean Jacques Machado, an absolute legend in the world of Jiu Jitsu. I have had the honor and privilege to have been training with Professor Eric for the last 4 years and hold the rank of Purple Belt. I'm also a 22 year veteran in Law Enforcement and hold the rank of Sergeant. Starting Jiu Jitsu was the smartest thing I could have done for my job, my family and my well-being. Professor Eric's school is one of the finest around and his teaching abilities makes it fun and exciting as you learn. Through him you'll gain a valuable Martial Art but the best part is you'll will gain a new family through Jiu Jitsu. One that will support you and have your back through think and thin! Go give Professor Eric and DFW a try, you will thank me later! ‍

Professor Eric Acha and his staff are amazing people. Unlike some of the B J J schools around the area, they leave the bravado and narcissism out of their school. Eric and his staff are the friendliest and most humble people you meet. They are committed to training their students to the best of their knowledge and helping them reach their goals, whether for competition or self-improvement. If you're looking for a belt mill, this school is not for you. You will earn every strip and every belt. Professor Acha has set a high standard for himself, his staff, and the students of this school. This school is a great community to be a part of and expand your knowledge of BJJ.

My daughter has been going here since they have opened and I've got to say, she loves it! Professor Eric makes sure to tell the kids " if your not having fun, your not doing jiu jitsu right" . He teaches them the fundamentals, step by step moves, the names and position of the moves and also who are the Machado brothers are! Does your kids love movies and music?! Well he will also quiz them on it for fun too . Overall a great place, great professor, and a great family to join.

Gracie Barra Southlake and Professor Alejandro are true blessings for Southlake and the entire…read morearea. Three of my children (Ages 24, 8, and 6), my wife, and I have all trained at GB Southlake, and we have all thoroughly enjoyed it. Moreover, we have learned life changing and potentially life saving skills. Professor Alejandro Siqueira is literally World Class. His record of accomplishments in competitions around the world is staggering. His attention to detail in teaching and individual attention is incredible. If anyone in the martial arts world would have the right to have a superiority complex, it would be Professor Alejandro, but he doesn't. There is no one in the martial arts world that you will find that is more personable, friendly, approachable, and humble than Professor Alejandro. The opportunity to train with him is an unbelievable honor. As for the GB Southlake facilities, they are spotless. The mats are well maintained and in fantastic shape. There is plenty of room for spectators/parents to sit, and the changing areas are more than ample. I have trained in at least five martial arts facilities and with at least five sets of instructors over the last 40+ years. None are better than GB Southlake. Moreover, I have investigated a safe place for my children to learn BJJ in this area, and am satisfied that GB Southlake is the best. The fellow students and parents at GB Southlake are very welcoming, such that no matter the level of your prior training, if any, you will not feel out of place. The programs are designed to allow everyone to learn at their own level. Whether you are looking for competition BJJ, a place for your children to learn, recreation, self defense, or fitness, the people, instructors, facilities, and spirit at Gracie Barra Southlake will make you happy you chose them. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Southlake. Jiu Jitsu for everyone!!

This is an excellent spot to learn jiu jitsu across all age ranges. The instructors are…read moreknowledgable, patient, and genuinely care about the performance of their students. They understand what their students need to pay attention to, and help them work towards success in their own athletic development. And above all, the keep things balanced between focused lessons and some fun as well!

My husband had been wanting to try jiu jitsu for years. He researched places around and decided on…read more413. Six months later- he's down 45lbs and loving it! The thought of starting BJJ overweight and with no cardio seemed very intimidating. Picking the right gym was essential. What sets 413 apart is Pedro Rocha. He's a world class fighter with many titles, belts, awards etc. Super impressive dude and worth a google! Once the hubs tried the free intro class- he was hooked! Pedro and the other professors made him feel comfortable. They were all patient, classmates were eager to help and everyone was understanding. The gym is the perfect size. Classes are not too big and not too small so you get plenty of coaching. Treatment at 413 is a testament to Pedro. When you join 413 you join a family. Everyone helps everyone. You can trust that you are not going to get hurt. You can ease into it at your own pace. There is no pressure to compete but if you choose to- you could not ask for a better coach. I have attended one of their free women's self defense classes. It was awesome and a lot of fun!!! !!!ALSO SHOULD PROBABLY WARN YOU!!! Your loved one WILL talk/ watch/eat/breathe/dream/obsess all things jiu jitsu. Don't fight it. Just go with it. it's only a matter of time before you're drinking the jiu jitsu koolaid too.

Pedro is an amazing coach. He's very knowledgeable and takes the time to teach correct form. He's…read moregreat at motivating his students and very patient with the kids. My boys (9 & 6 yr old) are always excited to go to class. I highly recommend you try them out
