So appreciated the care they put into developing a self defense class for my 14 year old and her friends. You cannot underestimate the power of a young woman who can be aware of her surroundings and defend herself rather than freeze. Highly recommend them for martial arts or a self defense refresher!

The private class we sent our incoming freshman daughter to for self defense was so well taught and informative. Would 100% recommend anyone with daughters sign them up!

My daughter just completed a 4 week self-defense class for women taught by Professor Celeena Bedore. It was an excellent course for any pre-teen, teen, college age girl to increase her awareness and confidence. I would highly recommend!!

Our 6 year old is going on his second month here at TXBBA and he looooves it. Training here gives him more structure, confidence and even personal goals to strive for (he wants to be a black belt one day). The training is not only of martial arts but also in character development. This has been so valuable for us as a homeschool family. Our son enjoys it a lot and so do we. We look forward to continue growing with the family at ftw TXBBA. The owners are a wonderful family who seem to truly walk out their faith. We are grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to any homeschool families for added structure and teaching and for anyone for that matter! They have adult classes as well! Looking forward to training one too.

Donnie & Celeena Bedore were awesome. They were friendly, passionate, and professional. Our first self defense class was educational, fun and enjoyable and we gained some beneficial tools. I highly recommend!

I have been to a couple locations now to observe my nephew’s belt testing. I was immediately greeted at the Ft Worth location, which means a lot. It is very impressive to see the leaders here so invested with the students and family members.

Frequently Asked Questions

BJJ is often considered safer than striking-based martial arts like boxing or Muay Thai because the focus is on control and submission rather than striking. However, like any physical activity, injuries can occur. Most BJJ gyms emphasize safety and technique over brute force, and injuries are usually minor (sprains, strains, etc.). By listening to your instructor, tapping out when needed, and gradually increasing the intensity of your training, you can significantly reduce your risk of injury.

Absolutely! BJJ is accessible to people of all fitness levels. The emphasis is on technique and leverage, not brute strength or athleticism. While you'll definitely get in better shape as you train, you don't need to be fit to start. Many BJJ practitioners find that the sport helps them get into the best shape of their lives.

BJJ focuses on taking an opponent to the ground and using leverage and technique to control and submit them. This can be extremely effective in real-world self-defense situations, as it allows a smaller or weaker person to defend themselves against a larger attacker. BJJ also teaches situational awareness and how to stay calm under pressure, which are crucial self-defense skills.

The two main styles of BJJ are Gi and No-Gi. Gi BJJ involves wearing a traditional kimono-like uniform (the Gi), which allows for different grips and techniques. No-Gi BJJ is practiced in shorts and rashguards, with a focus on wrestling-style takedowns and submissions. Both styles are effective for self-defense and competition. The best way to decide which style is right for you is to try both and see which one you enjoy more.

The BJJ community is known for being welcoming and supportive. It's common for practitioners of all levels to train together, and there's a strong emphasis on helping each other improve. Many people find that BJJ becomes more than just a sport – it becomes a lifestyle and a community.

BJJ has a thriving competition scene, with tournaments held at local, national, and international levels. Competitions are divided by age, weight, and belt rank, so you'll be competing against people of similar experience. Competing can be a great way to test your skills, meet other practitioners, and push yourself to improve. However, it's not mandatory, and many people enjoy training BJJ without ever competing.
