Another great thing about the Texas Jiu Jitsu club is that you will have the opportunity to get high quality instruction with experienced trainers. This upcoming fall we will have Mike and Mark, who both have years of experience, leading and teaching the classes. Our members do have to pay dues every semester but the amount is less than one month’s worth of membership at any of the Austin BJJ or Austin MMA gyms.
