How John's Gym Georgetown Martial Arts Program Distinguishes Itself From Other Martial Arts Programs for Kids in the Georgetown Texas Area
WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY
John’s Gym in Georgetown has been an incredible place for our family. My daughters, Hazel and Violet, have been training here for over two years, and the experience has been outstanding. Coach JJ creates an environment that balances discipline, hard work, and encouragement.
One of the things that really sets John’s Gym apart is the team of adolescent coaches who work alongside Coach JJ. They provide one-on-one attention to the younger students, helping them grow their skills and confidence.
Coach JJ also does a fantastic job teaching the importance of effort — making it clear that nothing is given or guaranteed without hard work. We’re so grateful to be part of the John’s Gym community!

If you are looking for a gym that embodies the term family, then this is where you need to train. The coaches are absolutely amazing, from beginner to advanced level BJJ the training is mentally and physically challenging. There are 3 Johns gym facilities, I have trained at all of them, and I can assure you they are all worth checking out. The Georgetown gym is a very dynamic training facility due to the MMA classes they offer along with their BJJ programs. If you are looking for a gym that will challenge you, and push you to your limits this is the place. Drop by and see for yourself.
Two of our kids (7&5) attend John’s Gym and they LOVE it. I am very picky about the coaches, teachers, etc that I will allow to have influence with my kids, so when we were on the hunt for a BJJ gym, the most important thing to me was the coach. Coach JJ is so good with the boys and does a great job of teaching them about hard work and discipline (in an age appropriate way) while also displaying empathy when they are having a difficult time with a move or a defeat on the mat. No toxic masculinity here. I also like that the older kids are leveraged to coach the younger kids so that every grappling pair has a coach with them to give feedback during practice. At competitions there is always a coach with them when they are competing to both coach and encourage them win or lose. 10/10 highly recommend this gym, but more importantly (to me) this coach.
We have been attending John’s Gym for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for nearly three years. From the beginning, we have loved the family-friendly environment and Coach JJ’s approach to teaching. It has helped grow our three boys in character and work ethic. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, overall.
I’ve really enjoyed training jiu-jitsu at the gym. It’s incredibly well-organized, and everything from the classes to the facilities runs smoothly. What stands out the most is how welcoming and helpful everyone is—both the coaches and the other members. No matter your skill level, there’s always someone willing to guide you, offer tips, and help you improve. It’s a great environment to learn and grow in.
John’s Gym Georgetown has been such a positive experience for our daughter for the past two years. Their knowledge, compassion for the kids, and consistent methods of teaching has been top notch. Wonderful instructors, staff and families as well.
This place is amazing. I originally tried this place after researching and being impressed with the head coaches backgrounds. I took my kids there to try it out and immediately knew this place was a great fit. They have an awesome system with younger coaches mentoring the younger kids, building confidence, discipline, and comradere. It would be hard to find a replacement for this place, which is why I drive over 20 mins to come to this specific gym. The coaches are skilled folks who are great with kids and adults.

We’ve been with John’s Gym for going on 4 years now and the transformation of our son is priceless. Not only have his jiujitsu skills improved tremendously but he’s improved as a person too. He’s had soooo much personal growth as a result of being at John’s Gym. One of the best decisions we’ve made as a family. We are grateful!!
John's Gym Georgetown Jiu Jitsu is the premier location in the Northern Austin area for youth and adult BJJ. They do an amazing job of teaching in a way that presents a methodical, detailed approach to each position while allowing for personal expression of your game. When it comes to the kids, they do a wonderful job of instilling discipline, respect and a sense of responsibility into each child. My three boys have really thrived in this program and I could not see them attending anywhere else.
In my experience, this gym stands out as an exceptional place for individuals of all ages and skill levels. The coaches and staff are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely kind-hearted individuals, cultivating a warm and inviting atmosphere that permeates every corner of the gym. My son, who has been a member for almost six years, absolutely adores it here.
The youth program is top-notch, providing a nurturing environment for children to explore their interest in martial arts. For those children inclined towards competition, there is an outstanding program designed to help them excel. Coach JJ demonstrates an exceptional ability to inspire and motivate young ones, assisting them in their journey towards self-improvement.
I joined the adult classes myself two years ago, wishing I had done so sooner. Coach John's tutelage has proven incredibly effective in breaking down complex Jiu-Jitsu techniques into manageable pieces that progressively build upon one another. This approach makes learning enjoyable and accessible for beginners while still challenging advanced practitioners to continue improving their skills.
Overall, I have yet to encounter a gym environment as positive and rewarding as this. If you're seeking a place to grow both physically and mentally, look no further – you will find it here!

No matter the experience level, Johns has something for everyone. The MMA class (strike class) taught by Coach Alex is a must if you're into combat sports or want to get started. There's also some talented experienced fighters there if you've been in the game for sometime.
Great little family that's growing and growing. I'm a "traveling" practitioner due to service in the military and have had the pleasure of training at a wide variety of gyms. John's Gym Georgetown is definitely one of the top 3 places I have been able to continue to learn in on this journey. Awesome coaches, great training partners, and a supportive community. Oss!
Coach JJ teaches technique and competition. This school has surpassed all others in the area. The way they have student coaches in there for extra safety and help to the students in lower classes. Great job. Mrs. Miranda is very helpful with your needs. Good job John's gym
Our family are blessed to have been a part of the gym for five years now. The atmosphere is incredibly supportive, with everyone from beginners to higher belts helping each other grow. The coaches are not only skilled but genuinely care about your progress, always taking the time to offer assistance and encouragement. The community here is unlike any other, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it. They have become our second family.
I have been taking my child here for the kids classes for the last few months and it has been great. Not only is a great physical activity for him, but it helps develop important developmental resilience. The coaches are amazing and they really help with the kids to understand and have at least 1 coach per group of kids. Can’t say enough about how happy we are with John’s Gym and we look forward to seeing the progress of our child.
I was in town for work and stopped by this gym to get some mat time in. The staff was extremely polite and professional. I felt like I was at my home gym. I loved how humble everyone was and the practical exercises. The mat fees were very affordable compared to other gyms in the area that I reached out to.
This gym and the coaches have been so great for my boys! Not only are they learning how to be great grapplers, they’re learning life skills like discipline, hard-work, etc. Coach JJ goes above and beyond to make sure each kids gets what they need to excel at the level. Definitely recommend!
I love training at John's Gym! It has a wonderful vibe. There is a nice group of ladies that train regularly. When you join John's Gym your not just joining a gym your joining a family. It a great atmosphere where everyone is willing to help each other work hard and improve.
Stepping on the mat for the first time can feel intimating, but everyone here remembers what it's like to be a newbie and they do a great job of helping you feel welcome. Why do I train here? 1. It's a great group of people 2. It's fantastic exercise 3. Helps increase your mental focus 4. You learn some good self defense strategies and 5. It's so much FUN!

My son just started a week or so ago and when I told him that I’d be signing him up he said was SO excited! After his first class he was hooked! He is excited everyday that we have class. Everyone has been so welcoming and helpful answering all my question 😂 We can’t wait to continue our journey with Johns Gym!!
We came visiting and we were looking for a gym for son to practice. We were very pleaseantly surprise. The practice was very well run by Jason. The kids seemed very receptive to him and listening well to the instructions. Which shows a good raport between the kids and the coach. My son enjoyed his time there. The building doesn't say much from the outside, but inside is well lit, organized and cleaned. They protect the mat which is very important.
We love John's Gym! We have 6 boys, all of which have trained in Jiu Jitsu, so we have tried a bunch of gyms over the years. John's is easily the best gym we've joined. It is family-oriented and the kids are surrounded by friends and feel like they are a part of something. The coaches are supportive, but at the same time, expect effort, focus, teamwork and respect from each one of the kids, and the kids absorb those values. Our youngest started when he was 6. He was very, very quiet and unassertive. He DID NOT want to go bjj, but after a few times, he made friends with the kids and the coaches because they made him feel at home. He is 7 now and loves going to train. He's much, much more confident, and actually likes getting out there and competing in tournaments as often as we can take him. It is a good change and we give a lot of that credit to John's Gym.

I'm not sure I can accurately express the shift we have seen in Gavin.
He takes his time at Jiu-Jitsu seriously. He knows he has to work hard and smart every minute on the mats. The guidance provided by the coaches is remarkable! It transcends to life off of the mats as well. Thank you!
