I dropped in while visiting the area based on some local recommendations, and I can honestly say this was one of the best gym experiences I’ve had in my 7 years of training. If I lived in the area, I would immediately call this place home gym. From the moment I walked in, the community was incredibly welcoming, I was greeted almost immediately even though the place was packed for the kids’ class, with nearly 20 kids and their parents. This speaks to the employees’ level of attention, making this easily the most welcoming I’ve experienced. There’s a great mix of competitors and hobbyists, and everyone shares a strong sense of camaraderie without any ego. What really stood out was how much the team went out of their way to help me. They lent me a gi since I didn’t bring one, helped me find a ride to and from the gym, and made sure I knew where everything was. That level of hospitality made me feel appreciated for even showing up. The facility itself is top-notch, very clean and well maintained. After open mat, they were already taking care of the mats with a full clean (even leaf blowing before disinfecting), which says a lot about how much they care about the space. The mat area is huge, with plenty of room for a full class of 30+ adults to roll comfortably, and no gaps or seams to worry about getting your toes stuck in. Huge shoutout to Nimpha and Chris for being so kind and making sure I got the full experience, and Justin for being a great roll and bringing a fun energy to the mats. With such a wide range of skill levels, from brand new white belts to highly ranked competitors, and an eclectic mix of styles, I’d recommend this gym to absolutely anyone. Honestly, if I lived within an hour, I’d drive past plenty of other gyms just to train here. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Definitely an amazing gym to go to. I asked if was able to train for a week since I’m here for a short TDY and was welcomed in. The professors are very knowledgeable, members are respectful and the culture of the gym is very positive and has a strong priority for safety. I observed a little bit the youth class while waiting for the adult class and they displayed a lot of passion and energy for the sport as well. I would love to have my own kids train here if I could. Thanks professors for letting me train with you! Oss!

I am a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, 15 years experience, 100s of matches, and have trained at some of the best gyms under the best coaches all over the country. So take it from me, RED RIVER BJJ is top notch and one of the best and friendliest places I have ever been to. The instructors are there to help you to get better and very personable. It is a great choice for beginners and advanced practitioners. Great community of people. You will get a good workout and have fun doing. Focus on both self defense and sportive application. Clean mats with plenty of rolling space. No drama, no bs, just solid JJ. I highly recommend this place.

Today, I dropped into the Adult (Gi) Fundamentals class. It was GREAT!! I was welcomed with open arms, and the main instructor told me he'd once trained under Professor Marra (the academy where I train) when he visited San Antonio. I loved the class format!! All drills were for time with pressure. I trained the majority of the class with a blue belt who pushed me to my limits without "killing me." I'm so happy I could experience a different academy. Everyone has a unique style and something special to pass on to those open to learning.
