Build skill, confidence and real-world awareness through women-focused Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in Dallas.
At Alex Martins BJJ, we get it. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a close-combat style that can be uncomfortable in mixed company or if you’re just getting started.
That’s why we’re proud to offer women across Dallas a chance to train with confidence in our Women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense Classes. Build your skills one step at a time a get in a great workout that will help you see incredible results.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a unique martial art that essentially takes size and strength out of the equation. Instead, the skill teaches smaller, weaker fighters how to overcome a larger opponent by relying on superior leverage and technique – skills that are particularly important for women to know.
Our Women’s classes allow you to combine the best aspects of self-defense and situational awareness with an exciting and competitive setting that pushes your body through an incredible workout.
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.
