Really special gym with a phenomenal mix of grappling backgrounds and a high-level coach in Aditya Nayar. I have been doing jiu jitsu for the better part of 14 years now, and coach Aditya teaches everything from minor details on fundamental & common moves that change my game entirely, to the highest level competitive grappling techniques. I am so happy to have found such good BJJ in Highland Park / Highwood. Whether you're interested in BJJ for community, fitness, pure love of martial arts or you're competition-focused, you will not find a better spot to train!

Had the chance do a drop in class this past week while visiting TX. From the moment I stepped in the gym until I left everyone was extremely welcoming and thanking me for visiting the gym. The gym itself was very clean and well outfitted. Bubba was the instructor the the session, leading off with welcoming me to the gym during introductions. Instruction was top notch being very detailed while using practical explanations then transitioning to positional game-play and finally some open rolls. Overall a great experience. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area.

I’ve been training at Brasa Jiu Jitsu for several years now, and it has been an incredible experience. Coach Aditya is not only a fantastic teacher but also an all-around great guy who genuinely cares about his students’ progress. At 36, I can confidently say that anyone can start at any age—it’s never too late to begin. Jiu Jitsu here is the best endurance builder, both physically and mentally. Every class pushes you to grow, problem-solve, and sharpen your mind while getting an amazing workout. If you’re looking for top-tier instruction, a welcoming community, and a challenge that will improve both your body and mind, Brasa is the place to be! Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Brasa Jiu Jitsu Highwood, and I can’t recommend this gym enough! The facility is spotless, which shows their commitment to providing a clean and professional environment for their students. Beyond that, their team is incredibly talented and strong, showcasing a level of technical skill and dedication that’s truly inspiring. Thank you to everyone at Brasa for the warm welcome and the opportunity to train alongside such a great group. It was an honor to roll with you all—I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in the area!

Aditya has a wealth of knowledge in jiu jitsu, he gives a great perspective on techniques. Met through a mutual friend also doing jiu-jitsu, and it’s always a great time. He is a fantastic coach and all around great person, his students are a great reflection of his coaching. Welcoming atmosphere, great coaching and challenging rounds. Highly recommend for anyone in the area to come try it out, and if anyone who is experienced to check them out.
