Learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a structured, welcoming academy with beginner and advanced training for adults across Dallas.
Our BJJ program includes both Beginner and Advanced classes to meet the needs of everyone in Dallas. These workouts surround you with fighters of similar skills and abilities so that you can push one another and get better every single day.
At Alex Martins BJJ Academy, we help you perfect every element of this system, focusing on the ultimate goal of submitting your opponent in no time.
Unlike a lot of fighting systems, BJJ helps fighters overcome the size and strength of their opponent with superior leverage and technique. Our team in Dallas is here to help you master:
As your child makes the journey from white belt to black belt, they learn about goal-setting and discipline. As they practice new Jiu-Jitsu techniques with their friends, they gain teamwork and leadership skills. Each class helps them gain focus and listening skills. And as a bonus, they’ll also learn anti-bullying strategies and the fundamentals of self-defense!
You do not need to be in shape or have prior martial arts experience before starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our Adult classes at Alex Martins BJJ are carefully designed to help you understand techniques step by step, train with suitable partners, and improve at a sustainable pace. You will develop leverage, timing, movement, and problem-solving skills—all while getting a challenging workout and joining a focused community. Check out our schedule below and find the class that fits your lifestyle.
Alex Martins began his martial arts journey in 1997 at just 17 years old, training under Junior Cardoso in Manaus, Brazil. Today he holds a 5th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and brings over two decades of experience to the mat.
With a passion that has taken him across the globe, Alex has competed extensively to sharpen his technique and expand his knowledge, always pushing to deliver the very best to his students. His teaching goes beyond submissions and sweeps: it’s about building discipline, boosting confidence, and setting people up for success both on and off the mats.
