Amazing instructors here that push and develop all skill levels. They do such great work with the kids. I can't wait to get my daughter training here with me! It's truly a great gym with even better people in and around it. Carlos Machado jiu-jitsu is definitely the place to train at!
Coach Malik 7 pm class and coach Corey 11 am class are the best classes I’ve come to, bringing my daughter as well, she loves the 5:30 PM class.
Great place to train even if you're just visiting!
Staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming.
This place is the BEST. Coaching is top notch, great culture, and awesome training environment. Afternoon class is AWESOME with Cory teaching!
Best place to learn BJJ! They do both gi and no-gi training!
The coaches provide high level instruction within a friendly and clean environment. The team at CMJJ are truly exceptional. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to train with decades of experience on any given day. Best gym in DFW without a doubt!
There is not a more welcoming and friendlier environment to train at. The knowledge you gain on these mats under a living legend cannot be measured, it's all about how much YOU take from it.
Great gym! I have been a member since 2021 attending the 6 am morning class. The instructors, training partners, and facilities are great. The members are welcoming, the classes are challenging, and I can't recommend this place enough to start your Jiu Jitsu journey.
My kiddos loved it. The coaches are very clear on their instructions and they are great at keeping the kids engaged. I think we've found our new gym!
The absolute BEST place to train Jiu-Jitsu, with the legendary Master Carlos Machado! 5 stars is simply not enough!
Tremendous BJJ school, led by Master Carlos Machado. If you want to train real BJJ with a legend, this is the place.
Jiu-Jitsu builds confidence, focus, and discipline through goal-based progression. Children learn to set goals, work through challenges, and earn real wins, which builds self-belief and concentration that show up at school and at home.
Yes. Jiu-Jitsu teaches awareness, emotional control, and quiet confidence, which helps kids carry themselves assertively and avoid conflict. Students learn situational awareness, verbal boundaries, and practical control in a positive, supervised environment.
Monthly tuition typically ranges between $120 and $200, depending on the program, how often you train, and your membership level. Most students start with a free intro class before enrolling. Membership includes structured classes, professional instruction, and progression from beginner through advanced levels.
Most parents notice a difference at home within the first few weeks, and adults feel stronger and clearer-headed early on. The lasting change, the part students talk about, comes from consistency over months on the mat.
Pick a class time. Show up. Train. See for yourself whether this is the right fit before you commit. No pressure, no experience needed.
Free intro class · No experience required · Walk-ins welcome
