My 5-year-old son had a wonderful experience training at this Jiu-Jitsu. The instructors are amazing with kids—patient, encouraging, and great at teaching discipline and confidence in a fun and safe way. We saw real growth in his focus, coordination, and self-esteem. The environment is welcoming and family-friendly. I highly recommend to any parent looking to introduce their child to martial arts.

I'm visiting from out of state and Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu is one of the few schools in the area that allows (as I found out) drop-in classes to travelers. Three other schools in the area that I contacted declined. I really respect when school owners are welcoming to practitioners outside of their school and don't get caught up in 'jiu-jitsu' politics of affiliations or worry of an outsider coming in. I especially appreciated the fact that Matt let me come into the class because I mixed up the start time of 8:00 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. That was 100% my fault. Matt and all his students were extremely nice and totally respectful. He allowed me to train for a very reasonable fee. Thank you for having me!

I've been training at Diamondback BJJ for a month now, and I couldn’t be happier with the environment. Nestled right in the heart of old Frisco, it feels like the perfect spot for both learning and community. Professor Matt stands out as a truly positive, attentive, and supportive teacher who genuinely cares about each student’s progress. It's clear that he’s invested in seeing everyone succeed and grow in their Jiu-Jitsu journey. I’m grateful to be learning from someone who creates such a motivating and inclusive space. 10/10 -- would recommend.

I recently dropped in to Diamondback while traveling to see family. I had a great experience at this school. While there I watched the tail end of a Saturday kid's class, which looked like a ton of fun and very engaging for the kids. For the Adult's class, the warm up was pretty standard and definitely got my heart rate up. During class Professor Matt demonstrated two techniques for the day, gave plenty of details and personalized coaching as he walked around to help everyone. After the technique portion the class moved into a situational "shark tank" mode where three people were in the middle and had to work starting in specific techniques. It was a lot of fun and gave me opportunity to work with different members. I would definitely recommend the school for anyone in Frisco or anyone looking to drop in. The space is clean and well taken care of, there's a good mix of age and colored belts on the mats. I've trained since 2016 and have been to many schools across the country. This one has a great culture and I will look forward to a time when I can come back again.

Starting my Brazilian jiujitsu journey with Professor Matt at Diamond Back has been one of the most relevant decisions in my life, this school is more than that, is a community where you will grow with the rest of your class. Im glad to be part of the DB Jiujitsu family. If you are planning to start or improve your Brazilian jiujitsu or Muay Thai this is the right school.

Diamondback is an amazing gym to be apart of, the gym is one big family. Professor Matt gives back to us with his knowledge and experience of bjj and helps all us grow. There is a variety of upper belts who also take their time to help everyone grow their game as well. I love it here!

Professor Matt! The most consistent, attentive and resourceful teacher I've had in my life. He always has time to answer your questions and help you work around your problems. You can also tell by the gems he is surrounded by. Coach Robert, Coach Dave, Coach Patrick, Coach Andy - all deeply practiced in their crafts - all of them have such unique nuggets to pass on. If you're looking for an academy that is full of respectable, mindful m, courteous and selfless students - diamondback is the place. Everyone is going to push you towards your best version and you will form bonds here that will last forever.

Join. This. Gym. I have been taking morning classes for the past two months, first time doing Jujitsu. I can tell Professor Matt pays a great deal of attention to all his students - beginners or experts. The experienced students are also very courteous, careful, helpful. Feels like a family already.

The gym is really clean (something crucial if you ask me). The professor and students are incredibly welcoming and there's a variety of ranks to roll with/learn from, all whom treated me very respectfully. It is predominantly a Gi gym (wears the traditional uniform and belt) which is something I personally enjoy but if you are a No-Gi buff I'd maybe try to convince him to make a couple more No-Gi classes haha. All in all a great experience. I'll be back for sure!

Couldn’t ask for a better place or better people to train with. Professor Matt is an extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher, that is good for all ages. Whether you are looking to try something new, just stay in shape, or compete I highly recommend you come to Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu.

I have been training under Professor Matt Jones for three years. He has great attention to detail in his instruction and is able to break down and explain techniques and concepts for anyone to learn. He is a great instructor for the youngest novice to the advanced practitioner. He instills a fun family atmosphere while delivering a disciplined, quality martial arts experience. If you're looking for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school for yourself or your kids this is the place!

Head instructor is very knowledgeable and he leads all classes. Jiu jitsu is a complex martial art and it gets even more complicated dealing with different body types. This is very important when learning a new skill using your whole body. Adjustments need to be made as the body type changes. Instructor quickly realizes and make these individual adjustments during the class. The curriculum is planned well and very consistent. You will never feel like you see a random move every time you go to a class. Instruction is progressive, focused and specific. This makes it much easier to grasp the concepts of Jiu Jitsu. Instruction includes self defense and Jiu jitsu. Jiu Jitsu part is about 90 percent of the curriculum. Jiu Jitsu part exceeds my expectations. If you don't have prior martial arts experience, you will find value in self defense instruction as well. Also, instructor has superb assistants. Those assistants have a great understanding of the martial art and have great personalities. They always offer help and take extra time to basically give you a mini private lesson for free. This is invaluable. The environment is great. Lots of opportunity to make friends. There are people from all types of backgrounds and everyone has a great attitude. Making friends in this Jiu jitsu school is very easy. Overall, I recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Jiu jitsu. I guarantee if you show up with an open mind and heart, you will get a lot out of it. You will make some cool friends as well. See you on the mats!

I love this place !! if you have ever wanted to learn a martial art stop thinking about it and get In here. Watching my once shy reserved daughter learn to be confident and believe in her self has been amazing!! I have been training with professor Matt for a couple years now myself and lost 70lbs and gained an understanding of my own body you can’t get elsewhere.

Coach Matt is the reason I cam back after 8 years. After watching him with my daughter who I started last year, I knew he was the right person for me to jump back in with. FANTASTIC kids coach but also fantastic for adults. He creates an atmosphere like St. Charles mma/juijitsu back home in STL, where I had some of the best friends and times.

My daughter and I have been training with Professor Matt for the past 2 years. He is an amazing instructor and overall great person. He is very patient and puts a lot of attention and care into his students' progression. He trains BJJ at all levels and is great at adjusting techniques that cater to each student's size, body type, and level of athleticism. Professor Matt is also great at giving equal attention to ALL of the students during the kid classes. I've seen some other overpopulated schools that have the kids drill/spar with little to no instruction... That simply does not happen at Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu. Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu is a great place for the entire family to train. Everyone we have met and trained with have made us feel like family. This is a place where everyone genuinely cares about helping each other level up. You won't find rolling partners that are just trying to smash you to prove their ego here.

My husband and three children (boy and two girls) train at Diamondback Jiujitsu under the instruction of Professor Matt Jones. As a mother and wife of those who train, I cannot speak highly enough of Matt's instruction, patience and professionalism. He is incredible working with any age group, from little ones to seasoned adults. It is truly his calling and gift. Aside from outstanding teaching, the community and people who are a part of this school are second to none. We do not have family in the area but our Diamondback family makes us feel like we do.

I am a person who likes to exercise in order to develop a beautiful body. I don't like heavy/intense exercises nor do I like putting my body under a lot of pressure. When you exercise hard and put a lot of pressure your body won't feel good the next couple of days. When my husband first asked me if I wanted to learn Jiu Jitsu my mind instantly said no! My husband did Jiu Jitsu for a little over a year before me and after his training sessions he would come home with bruises all over his body. I thought that I would never learn Jiu Jitsu but one day I tried a class (instructed by Professor Matt Jones) with my husband over ZOOM at home during Covid-19 lockdown. After 3 months of ZOOM classes I officially signed up for in-person classes and got to finally meet Matt and my classmates. It was a really great experience to finally meet Matt and everyone as they were very friendly and sociable. When Matt teaches Jiu Jitsu he is very enthusiastic and very easy to understand. As a result, my perspective about Jiu Jitsu changed and I started to like this martial art. A new page in my life began to open as I learned new self defense skills that could protect me and those important to me. I'm really happy about this personal development as I don't feel physically inferior like before. My husband, daughter and I now all train under Matt which has turned out to be really good decision for our family. Lastly, I want to thank Professor Matt for teaching me over the years and also to my friends for a very positive Jiu Jitsu journey.
