Join Caio Terra Academy in Irving, Texas, and train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with world-class instructors. Programs for kids, teens, and adults, plus a supportive "One Team, One Family" community. Improve fitness, learn self-defense, and grow with us today!
We first joined Caio Terra Academy for my 7-year-old son to learn self-defense and discipline, and from day one we knew we had found the right place. The atmosphere is welcoming the moment you walk in, and the kids’ classes led by Professor Collin Grayson and Coach Paul are outstanding. Both are parents themselves, and it shows in the way they care, connect, and inspire the kids. My son loved it so much we even moved my stepson over from another gym, and the difference here has been incredible. What surprised me most is how much it’s impacted me personally. I ended up joining Jiu-Jitsu again as an older adult, and it has been life changing, more than just a sport, it’s growth, therapy, and community all in one. Professor Collin doesn’t just teach; he mentors, reminding us the saying that “iron sharpens iron” so we can be better husbands, fathers, and men for our families, and I can’t thank him or owe him enough. Caio Terra Academy is more than a gym, it’s a family. I recommend it to anyone, kids or adults, looking for not just Jiu-Jitsu, but a place to truly grow.

Professor Collin has been personable from the beginning. When I signed up it wasn’t a machine. He was welcoming even through his text. I enjoyed my two trial classes I bought a shirt and attended a takedown seminar hosted. If I lived nearby I would’ve signed up, my workplace is close but I’m working more remote now. I recommend this gym if you’re in the area. The professor will meet you where you are no matter what level. There are no egos in this gym, the members I met were super welcoming. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. They will work with you no matter what level you’re on. Not many gyms give you two free trials, so at minimum check it out. Side note: I wrestled in high school and these are the softest mats I’ve stepped on, which if you have grappled you will appreciate. Go train.

I’ve been training here for a year and a half now and I couldn’t be happier. The facility is always clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere is super friendly. Professor Collin makes class fun and informative. He is committed to teaching and making sure everyone who comes to train feels welcome. I live in Denton and could easily train somewhere closer to home, but I would rather go out of my way to continue training at CTA Irving.

CTA Irving rocks! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed with warmth and treated like family. The environment is so supportive and encouraging, perfect for whether you’re brand new to Jiu Jitsu or have years of experience. Professor Collin is an incredible instructor. Every class reflects his kindness, patience, and passion for the art. You can tell he genuinely cares about each student’s growth, both on and off the mats. He has the ability to break down techniques with clarity while still keeping the energy fun. Teammates are there to cheer you on and offer advice and support in every training session. Come stop by!
