Texarkana Jiu Jitsu

Been attending here for over 2 years and the training and fitness I received have been great awesome inviting atmosphere with one of the best instructors in town.

Coach Marc was very welcoming during my visit here! The class structure is very conducive to learning BJJ as he pays a great attention detail to the technique and encourages focused repetition for optimal learning. The students are all very nice. This is an awesome place to train if you want a safe, challenging, welcoming learning experience of jiu jitsu. I highly encourage stopping in for a class if you are ever in the Texarkana area!

Excellent gym! Excellent workout! I have never had formal training in any martial art, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully the atmosphere of the gym is very inviting and accommodating of all skill levels. I have appreciated the higher belts taking their time to break down the basics with me. Jiu Jitsu is a fun way to get some great exercise, and you are leaning one of the most effective self-defense tactics on the planet. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone.

If you are interested in training, I highly recommend coming to Texarkana Jiu-Jitsu! They work with all skill levels… which mine was no skill. My son loves it as well! He has also been more self disciplined and focused since he has stated! Great coaches and teammates that make you feel like family!

I’ve been there almost 2 years and my only complaint is that I didn’t do this as a kid. We have the most experienced teachers, and such an amazing group training together. Its been a blessing

I highly recommend this place. The military has allowed me to train in many different places, and I must say this place is one of the best ever. From the moment I stepped in the doors I was treated like I had been training there for years. Everyone was very nice and made me feel welcomed. There are some very good people that train here, I think no matter if you are just starting off or have been training for years you will lean something from these guys, I know I learned a lot from the month I got to train here.

Additionally, I have kids that train, so I watched a few of the kids class and I must say what I seen with this was amazing. The way Professor Marc and Taylor interact with the kids is exceptional. They really make sure the kids are enjoying their time while still learning. I seen a few things that I will bring back to the school I train

My exposure to jiu jitsu started nearly two years ago when we enrolled my son for something to help with his discipline and provide a physical outlet for him. After watching my son for a few months, I knew I had to give it a try.

Training at Texarkana Jiu Jitsu with Coach Marc has been nothing short of life changing. I started in April 2016, and since then I've gained knowledge in the most logical self defense system ever created, have completely changed my diet, and have lost a total of 84 pounds (and counting!). There's more to this place than just self defense and exercise; the friends I've made and the confidence I didn't even know I lacked have been absolutely wonderful.

Whether you want to take more control of your life, build confidence, lose weight, improve your health, or just meet some of the nicest folks in the area, you're missing out if you don't try this place.

If you are are looking for martial arts in Texarkana, I highly recommend you try out Texarkana Jiu Jitsu. Friendly staff and a great group of people. The kids program is very well structured and the kids have a lot of fun. The instructors are awesome and the kickboxing fitness program helped me get in great shape, it's awesome for weight loss!

This is a fantastic place to train! I got to meet a lot of great people and everyone was very helpful. Life has gotten busy for me, but I can't wait to get back on the mats. Highly recommend this if you are wanting to start working out or if you want to learn something new. Marc has been a pleasure to learn this amazing sport from.

Texarkana Jiu Jitsu is one of the greatest blessings in my life. I've been in the best shape of my life training under Dr. Marc. He, not only, teaches my family and I real world defense skills, his knowledge of nutrition and overall well being has been just as important. I am a life long severe asthma and allergy sufferer, my involvement with TXKBJJ has had an incredible impact on my health and confidence, at 40 years young.

Great BJJ gym, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Instructors are very knowledgeable and great to work with. They go the extra mile in order to make sure to provide an effective and fun learning environment.

Training at Texarkana BJJ has been a wonderful experience in so many ways! I have learned self defense, I've lost weight, I have made new friends, and I've been challenged in many positive ways. I have gained so much confidence! All of the higher belts are patient and want to help you learn. I started with no background in Jiu Jitsu . I felt like there was no way I could do what everyone else was doing, but I had the desire to try! Now I'm hooked!

Mark is one of the best instructors around. Not only has my ground game improved 100%, he has been instramental in my weight loss. Since starting nine months ago I have lost over 60 pounds. If you are looking for a great way to to get in shape and feel better about yourself there is (in my opinion) no better way than following Mark's program.

I travel a lot and dont get to train much due to the lack of academies that are in the cities i travel to.i was heading to texarkana for the first time for work. I searched for a jits place and this was the first thing that popped up. I decided to give it a try and boy am i glad i did. This academy truly has class A instructors that LOVE and KNOW the art very well! They were also very welcoming and had the passion of teaching. Even though i was only staying for a week, they treated me like i was one of their own. Definitely the best choice of place to train at if you are in Texarkana! Good Place, Good people, good drills, and good rolls!

I do not live in Texarkana anymore but this place really sparked a passion with me that I carried elsewhere. I tell people all the time that complain about the lack of activities in Texarkana to go check this place out! Pick yourself up a healthy hobby that you will learn non stop in. The benefits that are proven is you will gain confidence, lose weight, help blood pressure and diabetes if you have those issues. Your kids confidence will improve, it will help keep them out of trouble, and you will see better grades as a result. Check this place out!!!

Awesome place to train. I have trained in other schools before coming to TXK BJJ. I was shocked at how well established this school is. BJJ schools with a black belt lead instructor are not a dime-a-dozen. TXK BJJ is not only lead by a black belt (one of the highest ranked americans in the country), but there are 2 black belt instructors!! Not to mention the mulititude of highly ranked student the school has produce, which gives me a great opportunity to step up my game with out having to go other places to get new training partners.
TXK BJJ FOR LIFE!!

My son and I started around nine months ago, and we're impressed with the knowledge Mark has. He has passed that knowledge to his students, who are very helpful. It is a family, and if you are thinking of joining, come on out. You will be glad you did.

I was back home for a funeral and wanted to get some rolling in. James was a great partner to spar with and the instructor did a great job modifying and explaining techniques as we drilled. Will definitely go back.

Texarkana Jiu Jitsu has a positive welcoming environment with high quality instructors who make students feel comfortable yet challanged while learning jiu jitsu.

I have a pleasure training here, the past two months training here has been a blessing and I like how patient Professor Mark is when it comes to helping with the various submissions, mounts and escapes. I'm also greatful for all the higher belts and lower belts advice, I'm happy I choose this place, I highly recommend this place to anyone!
