Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Adkins

Coach Eric and Coach Martin are Absolutely Amazing!! Our 2 boys (6 and 9), have learned soo much from them. Not just about protecting themselves from bullies, but they also gain knowledge and show so much more respect and responsibility to us and to everyone they come in contact with. We look forward to each class to see all their progress. I absolutely recommend this program to everyone who wants to learn Jiu-jitsu.

I’d been wanting to join a Jiu Jitsu academy with my daughter for a while, and from the moment we walked in, I knew this was the right place. The atmosphere is welcoming and family-friendly, which immediately put us at ease. I’d heard stories about people getting injured at other academies from being pushed too far outside their comfort zone, but that’s not the case here. The instructors strike a perfect balance between fun and discipline, and they always prioritize safety. It’s clear they care deeply about their students and create an environment where everyone can learn and grow confidently.

I can’t say enough great things about Gracie Jiu- Jitsu Schertz! My 10-year-old son has been training here for the past four years, and the transformation we’ve seen in him is truly remarkable. The academy has become a second home for him, thanks to the incredible instruction and supportive environment provided by Coaches Eric and Martin. Their passion for teaching shines through in every class. They have a unique ability to break down complex techniques into fun, manageable steps that keep my son excited to learn new moves. His confidence has skyrocketed, both on and off the mat, and he’s developed a real love for jiu-jitsu that grows with every session. The coaches foster a sense of discipline, respect, and camaraderie that has helped him grow not just as a martial artist but as a person. The academy itself is welcoming and well-organized, with a focus on creating a positive experience for kids. It’s clear that Eric and Martin care deeply about their students’ progress and well-being. I highly recommend Gracie Jiu- Jitsu Schertz to any parent looking for a place where their child can build confidence, learn valuable skills, and have a blast while doing it!

Tried other BJJ gyms for sport competition for 1.5 years, but this place and Gracie system is much different! You’ll learn BJJ, principles, self-defense, and progress through organized rank development! Impressive curriculum and these instructors are fun, safety oriented, and committed to each members’ learning.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Schertz has been such a blessing for our family! My daughter, Sophia, absolutely loves it here. From the very first class, the coaches made her feel welcomed, encouraged, and supported. Their teaching style balances discipline with fun, so the kids not only learn valuable self-defense and Jiu-Jitsu techniques but also build confidence, respect, and resilience. I’ve noticed such a positive change in Sophia since she started—she’s more focused, more confident, and truly excited to come to every class. The environment is safe, friendly, and family-oriented, and you can tell the instructors genuinely care about each student’s growth both on and off the mat. If you’re looking for a place that teaches kids real skills while also building character, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Schertz is the place to be. We couldn’t be happier with the experience, and Sophia can’t wait to keep learning and growing here!
