Beginners to advanced competitors train side by side. Gi and No-Gi classes with world-class instruction from champion black belts.
We're part of Brazilian Top Team — one of the most winning martial arts organizations on the planet. Here's what sets us apart.
BTT has produced UFC champions, ADCC gold medalists, and world-class fighters across four continents. You train under that same lineage.
All four of our black belt instructors hold international competition titles — Pan Champions, World Champions, and National Champions.
Entire families train together here. We foster a welcoming, ego-free environment where every person on the mat is respected and supported.
Train at our Richardson or Irving academy — whichever is closest to you. Both locations offer the same championship-level instruction.
Our black belt instructors bring decades of combined competition and teaching experience to every class.

The instructors do an amazing job of teaching techniques in a fun, engaging way. My son has gained so much confidence since starting in the Little Axes program. The whole family feels welcome here.
I started at BTT as a complete beginner at 35. Professor Machado and the team made me feel comfortable from day one. A year later I'm in the best shape of my life and just got my second stripe. Incredible gym.
Cleanest facility I've ever trained at. The level of instruction is world-class — these coaches actually compete and win at the highest level. You can feel the difference. Best BJJ school in DFW, period.
Absolutely not! Most of our students started with zero martial arts experience. Our Beginners and Essentials classes are specifically designed for newcomers. You'll be guided every step of the way by patient, experienced black belt instructors.
For your first class, just wear comfortable athletic clothing — shorts or joggers and a t-shirt or rashguard. We provide loaner gis for Gi classes so you can try before you buy. No shoes needed on the mat!
Our Little Axes program accepts children starting at age 4. Classes are designed to be fun and age-appropriate, focusing on coordination, confidence, and basic self-defense through games and structured activities. Kids ages 8–15 join our Strong Axes program for more structured training.
Gi Jiu-Jitsu uses the traditional kimono (gi), which adds grips and a more technical, chess-like element. No-Gi uses shorts and a rashguard — it's faster-paced and more wrestling-oriented. Both develop different skills and we recommend training both. Many of our classes offer each style throughout the week.
Yes! Our kids programs emphasize safety above everything else. Techniques are age-appropriate, and our instructors carefully supervise all activities. BJJ is actually one of the safest martial arts for children because it focuses on control and submissions rather than striking. It also teaches kids to protect themselves in real-world situations.
We offer several membership options to fit different budgets and training goals, including family discounts. The best way to learn about pricing is to come in for your free trial class — we'll walk you through all options with zero pressure. Contact us at (214) 498-7437 or fill out the form on this page.
