Championship-Level BJJ About 20 Minutes South — Worth Every Mile
Allen is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, and its residents are used to making smart decisions about where to invest their time. When it comes to BJJ, the 20-minute drive south to BTT North Dallas in Richardson is one of the best investments a family can make. You get three black belt instructors, an internationally acclaimed curriculum, and a team organization with a legacy that stretches to world championships and UFC title fights. There is simply nothing comparable closer to Allen.

From most of Allen, take US-75 (Central Expressway) south toward Plano and Richardson. This is the same corridor most Allen residents already travel for work or errands — you likely pass through this stretch on a weekly basis.
Exit at Arapaho Rd and turn right (west). Drive approximately 1 mile to Coit Rd, then turn right (north). BTT North Dallas is in the shopping center on the left at 670 N Coit Rd, Suite 2373. Total drive from most of Allen: 18-22 minutes.
From West Allen near Alma Dr or Stacy Rd, head south on Coit Rd directly — no US-75 required. You'll be at the academy in about 20 minutes without touching the freeway.
Allen residents have access to a lot of martial arts options nearby — but access to a 4th Degree Black Belt with 29 international gold medals teaching your child twice a week is a different proposition entirely. At BTT North Dallas, the gap between what we offer and what closer gyms can provide is significant. Many Allen families pass through the Richardson corridor already, whether for work in the Telecom Corridor, shopping at Collin Creek, or visiting friends in Plano. Adding a BJJ stop at BTT on the way home is easier than it might seem on a map.
Professor Leonardo Machado holds a 4th Degree Black Belt and has won more than 29 gold medals at international BJJ competitions. Professor Misty is a Pan Am Champion. Coach Elion Reis rounds out a coaching staff that simply does not exist at options closer to Allen.
Most Allen residents are already familiar with the US-75 south corridor heading toward Plano and Dallas. The Richardson academy sits right off this same highway — a 20-minute trip that follows the same route many Allen commuters take daily. You're not adding a new direction to your map.
The Richardson location is open Saturday mornings from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. For Allen families who can't make weekday evenings work, Saturday is a natural window — and 20 minutes on a weekend morning with light traffic feels very different from a weekday rush-hour commute.
Brazilian Top Team has produced UFC champions, ADCC gold medalists, and world-ranked competitors across multiple martial arts disciplines. When your child trains here, they are part of that lineage — not just a local gym, but a world-recognized organization.

This is not instruction you will find at a closer gym.
