Ground Savage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I’ve been training here for almost a month now and it’s an amazing place to learn jiu-jitsu. Professor Ralph is very welcoming to new students and visitors. He is a true professional who teaches in a way that’s easy to understand and actually helps you improve. He brings a ton of experience and knowledge and focuses not just on what’s out there but on what has genuinely worked for him. The gym culture is great. If you’re a beginner you’ll feel comfortable and respected and no one is trying to hurt anyone. Everyone is willing to help, share what they know and give you the chance to practice what you learn during class. The facilities are also clean and well maintained. Overall it’s been a fantastic experience!

I’ve known Professor Ralph for nearly 20 years and have watched him grow into an exceptional instructor and mentor. My older kids trained under him at his previous academy, and now my youngest son is thriving at Ground Savage BJJ. The gym is always clean, the instruction is clear and patient, and the kids’ environment is respectful and positive. GSBJJ is the largest academy in Brownsville and offers discounts for military, law enforcement, and first responders, which truly shows their commitment to the community. If you’re looking for elite coaching and a strong team atmosphere, Ground Savage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Professor Ralph has been the absolute best. My son tried out BJJ a few years back with Ground Savage, and it just wasn’t his thing back then.. fast forward to a few months ago, we tried it out again. Professor Ralph was very welcoming to us, just as the first time. He was very patient & understanding. Now, my son is learning and enjoying everything about BJJ. I’ve seen his confidence skyrocket— he’s made a bunch of new friends, he’s performing better in school & at home— really getting that discipline in and applying his skills in BJJ to real life. I’m proud of my son’s journey, I’m excited to see his performance grow— heck I’ve even thought of joining!! I have the utmost respect and confidence in Professor Ralph and Ground Savage. Thank you for all that you do, sharing your knowledge and skills with us & doing what you do best! 🦍🖤

I highly recommend this facility. At 34 years old with no prior experience and not usually one to step outside my comfort zone, I was hesitant at first. However, from my initial phone call to my first visit, Professor Ralph made me feel welcome. He offered a free week of classes, and by the second day, I knew I wanted to join. I appreciated that he explained everything clearly and made student safety a priority. The gym members all seem to have a close bond and good relationships. I'm excited to begin this journey.

We were visiting from out of town and had an awesome experience training at Ground Savage. Professor Ralph is very welcoming, technical, and professional, and the team had a great culture of hard work and respect. We got in quality rounds and left feeling more confident and motivated. The facility is clean, well-organized, and has plenty of mat space, which made training smooth and comfortable. We’re grateful for the hospitality — we’ll definitely be back when we’re in Brownsville!
