Alex Martins Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
About Alex Martins Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
At Alex Martins Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we believe that stepping on the mat changes people — not just physically, but in how they carry themselves off it. Our academy in Dallas was built around a simple idea: that men, women, and children from all walks of life deserve access to honest, effective BJJ instruction in an environment where they actually feel welcome. Our instructors are direct and experienced, and they bring real care to every class — whether you're a nervous beginner or someone looking to sharpen competition skills. You'll build strength and technique, but you'll also notice the confidence start to show up in your everyday life.
We work hard to make our kids' programs something parents can trust. Children here learn self-defense and anti-bullying strategies, but the deeper work is in developing focus, respect, and discipline — values that transfer into school, friendships, and home. Our instructors don't just teach submissions; they invest in the kids in front of them, creating a space where children of all abilities and backgrounds can thrive and grow alongside peers who push them to be better.
For adults, our classes offer a serious workout and a real skill set without the ego that sometimes creeps into martial arts gyms. Whether you're coming in to relieve stress, get fit, or learn to defend yourself, you'll find that Alex Martins BJJ is a place where showing up consistently is rewarded. Dallas has no shortage of gyms, but we've built something here that keeps people coming back — good training, good people, and a culture that takes the art seriously without taking itself too seriously.
Reviews
AMBJJ is an amazing gym filled with incredible people that I consider family. Professor Alex and professor Lacy has really built a great community. Big shout out to coach Michael Hale. Wrestling or jiu jitsu he always takes the time to sharpen the last bit of details I need to improve.
Alex Martins BJJ is high level academy that produces champions! They have amazing programs for all ages and all skill levels. Just stop by and you will see why this is a 5 star gym. Alex is such a great guy and his academy reflects his hard work and dedication to the craft. He is so passionate and technically advanced; his coaches carry that through all of his programs. He truly cares about all of his students, including all of his affiliate gyms. Anyone in the area should consider this gym as a top choice. Great for all ages / men and women!
Been training for about 3 years now and one of favorite things to do while traveling is visit other gyms. My cousin has been training at this gym for about 8 months now so he brought me in for 2 classes and they were great. I took a noon nogi class as well as a morning gi class and they were both such a great time. Everyone is so helpful and nice, the teaching style is great, and the head coach, professor Alex is such an amazing person. I will definitely be returning whenever i visit Dallas again!
Alex Martins and his team create a family-friendly, nurturing atmosphere where children and adults develop their discipline and skills. I practiced Judo growing up in Brazil and found it extremely helpful in teaching me confidence and self-control. Now my grandkids attend Alex Martins academy and are having a fantastic experience. 5 stars all the way.
I trained at Alex Martins BJJ for about a month while I was in town for work, and the experience was fantastic. The culture here is amazing—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely supportive. The owner treated me like I’d been part of the gym for years, and the instruction was excellent. If I lived in Dallas, I’d 100% train here full-time. Highly recommend this place.
