Parlor Multi Site
This is one of the best gyms in Austin if not the world. I’ve been a martial artist in Austin for over a dozen years and have trained across the broader martial arts community as well. I met a couple of the owners around town back when they were just dreaming this place up, and it’s no surprise it’s become such a standout hub of the martial arts community and just a straight-up great place to be. The Olympic lifting setup is superb, the location can’t be beat, and the jiu-jitsu instruction is of the highest level. The Olympic lifting training and classes are just as high quality. So many of my closest friends started training here that I finally had to stop by and then I signed up immediately. The atmosphere is excellent, and I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself. 5 out of 5 stars.

The gym has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Stacey leads the strength and conditioning classes with clear guidance and a positive attitude. She was friendly and welcoming on my first day, which made everything easier. Coach Tony runs solid BJJ classes with good structure and support. Training here feels motivating and steady. I am glad I joined 🙏🏻

Best gym in Austin! I’ve trained martial arts on and off for a few years, and after trying out the Parlor, I don’t ever want to change gyms. The community here is incredible—an amazing team of BJJ athletes that made me want to focus on jiu-jitsu exclusively. I used to do heavy power and I even replaced my regular weightlifting gym since the Parlor has everything I need for strength training too. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, offering expertise across multiple martial arts, plus physical therapy and strength coaching. The sauna, showers, and AC are just the icing on the cake.

I met Vince, Bill, and John when I was training over at B Team and when they told me they were opening a gym together on the east side of Austin I was all in. I already knew Vince was an incredible coach with a ton of knowledge and experience in the sport, and it has been awesome getting to know Bill and John better as well since East Austin Jiu Jitsu Parlor opened. I’ve also had the pleasure of getting to know the other owners Zane and Sean over the past year. This gym is an incredible facility with the best mat space I’ve ever trained on along with an awesome weight room and even a steam room. What really makes this gym special though is the people. The Jiu Jitsu coaching from Vince, Bill, John and Zane is top tier and Sean is the best physical therapist and strength coach I’ve ever worked with. Together they have created a community around this gym that is welcoming, friendly, and truly full of people who want to see each other become better at whatever it is they are trying to achieve. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who lives in Austin or is just visiting and wants to train Jiu Jitsu or just get a lift in. Truly special place and people!

I've been training at the gym for two months now. The coaches are very professional and well-spoken. The management seems exceptional, and there's a great, healthy atmosphere among the trainees as well. I've trained at martial arts gyms around the world, and this place is definitely top-tier in terms of quality. One very important thing is that the facility has showers, sauna and a weight gym on the bottom floor, and the staff makes sure to clean the mats after every session, theres a lot of space which makes the place very convenient for rolling. The price is very reasonable considering what you actually get — I'm very satisfied.

Amazing gym! The facility itself is easily the most beautiful space I’ve ever trained in. I love that my membership offers access to the weights, sauna, and classes. The instructor’s are awesome, and I feel like the instruction and BJJ concepts are well thought out and very high quality. I also love there are 4 showers, which means there’s never really a wait, and I also don’t feel overly rushed. They are also very well maintained and stay CLEAN. I have really enjoyed the training as well as the community here. I would recommend this gym to anyone who’s looking for a new home, place to drop in, or someone looking to start their journey.
Fantastic facility, very kind/knowledgeable staff, and excellent classes. It’s the whole package! Also, it’s super easy to drive in and out of the area and park right in front of the facility. Bill was incredibly accommodating and I’m looking forward to going back in soon!
I have been visiting Austin for the week, and needed a gym to train, and found east austin jiujitsu parlor. I met James at the desk and their hospitality, was great - super friendly and informative. The vibe a the gym was awesome and everyone was very friendly. The classes were great, and both Dave and James, did a great job teaching. I have no doubt that this gym will be very successful and popular. I give my best recommendations. Jonas
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible experience I've had at East Austin Jiujitsu Parlor. I've been training for months now and under the guidance of James,Dave,Vince & Dr. Sean, I've seen a remarkable improvement in my skills and confidence. Each instructor brings a unique perspective and expertise to the mat, creating a supportive and challenging learning environment. Their passion for jiu jitsu is contagious and they consistently go above and beyond to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed. I'm particularly grateful for the private lessons I've had with James. His patience, knowledge, and detailed instruction have been astronomical in helping me refine my technique and progress in my jiu jitsu journey. I honestly truly wouldn’t be here in a more refined and stable physical condition without Sean. He guided me down a healthy recovery of an injury faster than any other doctor I’ve met in my life. Overall, I can't recommend East Austin Jiujitsu Parlor enough. The facility is clean and well-equipped, the atmosphere is welcoming/supportive and the instructors are truly exceptional. I'm excited to continue my training and see where my jiu jitsu journey takes me. Thank you again for everything! Sincerely, Mal
Fabulous gym. Really enjoy the morning workouts with Sean.
East Austin JJP is a world class facility! I love this place! The BJJ instructors/coaches are excellent and I have had such a great time learning new things in class and meeting the friendly teammates. Everyone is there to learn and have fun and the coaches facilitate really well structured classes that allow us to learn new drills, test them in a safe, controlled environment and have great live rolls. The S&C program is also top notch! Sean is a wizard when it comes to instructing and helping us students on how to grow stronger and prevent injury. I learn something new from him every class. The space is beautiful, HUGE mat space, fully stacked gym, clean showers and dressing rooms, a freaking spacious sauna - the space has everything I could ever ask for in a training facility. I'm so happy I found EABJJ and look forward to seeing all the awesome things the team will achieve! Thanks for curating this space for us!
I started strength and conditioning at EAJJP just 2024, just a couple of months after my back gave out. I was still rehabbing when I began, and by the end of my first week, my back pain was completely gone! Sean, the coach, is incredibly knowledgeable and provides personalized guidance to make sure you're performing exercises correctly. Since I started, I've seen a huge improvement in my body mass, mechanics, and even my running form and pace. The gym itself has a fantastic atmosphere — it’s a safe, welcoming space with great people who are always encouraging. I couldn't be happier with my experience!
I can’t say enough nice things about this gym. All instructors and coaches are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgable. It’s never easy being the new guy at a martial arts gym and these folks made me feel very comfortable from day one. This gym is clean, stylish, and has great amenities. If you were thinking about joining a BJJ and strength gym look no further. Stop reading this review and just come see for yourself.
Absolutely phenomenal gym. From the instructors to the top tier facilities to the guys who come here to train. I've been extremely impressed and would recommend this gym to any and everyone!
Brown belt that trained there. Great mix of Gi and No Gi coaching. The facility is amazing. Relaxed, cool vibe with tons of amenities. There is a ton of value in training here. All the coaches and members were very welcoming.
I was in town for work and dropped in for their Monday night nogi class. Upon walking in, I received a friendly welcome from James who was very hospitable in his tour of the facilities. The amenities of this place are unmatched. The facilities have a very cool layout and everything is very clean. Vince taught an amazing class and broke down techniques in a way that was very easy to understand. There were all skill levels present in class and I had a great time. I definitely plan to come back whenever I am in town.
I’m totally impressed! This gym and instructors are top notch. I love the beautiful clean professional equipment and space. The instructors are so knowledgeable and respectful. East Austin Juijitsu is a proud achievement for Austin and all of Texas.
Love this place. Incredible atmosphere and numerous amenities. Couldn’t imagine training anywhere else
Clean, well lit, spacious gym. Awesome community!
Visiting Austin for a work trip and had an amazing time dropping in! It’s a super cool space and a well run gym. Everyone was super welcoming, great gym atmosphere. Definitely would come by next time I’m in town! 🤩
Awesome gym! Came from Idaho for some cross training and everyone was extremely friendly. Great attitude, atmosphere, and culture.
Did a free trial week and joined, my second BJJ gym. This gym is clean, welcoming, and full of great people. It’s a perfect place to work on fitness, learn self-defense, and have fun. Plus you have on-site gym and experts in physical fitness and jiu jitsu.
Great vibes and amazing coaches, top notch facilities too!
This is a beautiful and well put together jiujitsu studio. Not only plenty of floor space, but there are multiple bathrooms, changing rooms, a sauna, and showers! They have lifting and strength training downstairs as well as physical therapy massage room. Coffee on tap and hosting watching UFCU fight nights from time to time for their students and friends.. The staff at the front are friendly and courteous. I am not sure about their prices as I was there as a guest for the 15 Year Anniversary Semknar for Girls and Gis, which they graciously hosted at their studio. If ai lived close enough it is definately worth checking out the classes as you can tell the owner , whom I did meet cares about his place and students.
I tried a few different classes during the week trial, and this was definitely one of the best gym memberships I've ever had. All the instructors were extremely welcoming and accommodating for me as a bjj beginner. The classes were extremely in-depth and technical, and I learned a lot with much one-on-one instruction. The facility itself was top notch. Has the largest training mat in Austin, a practice mat, steam room, weight training area, and overall, super clean. Focused on judo right now but I definitely plan to continue training here in the future.
Amazing new gym on the east side ! The whole staff is amazing, the gym is beautiful with plenty of showers and steam room! Jiujitsu, strength and conditioning classes, great weight room. A Gem on the east side !
Beautiful Texas-sized BJJ gym with olympic/crossfit style weight racks. Great people and super high quality BJJ curriculum.
This place is dope AF. I trained at another location, and didn’t really enjoy it. This place is different; awesome space, cool people, and great vibes. Highly recommended!
Great location, great instruction, and overall great vibe. Everything about this gym is the East side of Austin from the people to the location. Training is top notch. Plenty of mat space and showers. And one of the only gyms with a weights and weight training. Overall 10/10. Great facility. Keep it up!
this isn't a gym its a gem
This is the holy grail of gyms.
I stopped in for a class while being in town for the weekend and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Sean gave me a tour around the facility and gave me a heartfelt background of the reason that he and his co-owners opened up the parlor. Vince taught a thorough and engaging class and I felt comfortable as a white belt even though it was an advanced class. Afterward I met Zane and he continued the hospitality and also made me feel welcome. I would love to drop in for a class anytime I’m in Austin again and fully encourage anyone to give EAJJP a visit and also sign up if you’re local.
Super cool, clean gym with great BJJ instruction upstairs and a dope gym space downstairs. Also a great place to drop-in since you can train and get a lift in at the same place.
This is the nicest jiu jitsu gym I’ve ever been in. You get the highest level instruction in the game by Vince, the big clean mat space , a lifting room fully stacked with the highest quality equipment, nice clean showers and changing rooms, and above all of that doctor Shawn does a great job as the in house physical therapist. If you’re in doubt about picking a place to train just pay them a visit and I promise you’ll be in doubt no more.
From the moment you enter, it’s obvious that EAJJP is an anomaly among other BJJ gyms. Not only will you be welcomed by some of most genuinely warm personalities in the sport (maybe even the world?), you’ll find yourself in awe of the pristine facilities’ sublime blend of modern aesthetics and fun, comfortable vibes. It’s a place that just oozes cool. The amenities are as bountiful as they are thoughtful—a masterclass in functional space with an ample amount of bathrooms, changing rooms, and showers so that you’ll never find yourself waiting in a hallway to change/rinse off. Rumor has it there’s even a sauna is on the way. The coaching here is literally world-class and there are programs for everyone, from high level competitors to full blown newbies. So no matter who you are there is something for you. The classes are structured and thoughtful while placing an emphasis on keeping things safe and controlled. There’s a huge variety of students at different skill levels, and they’re all friendly and kind. A truly unique aspect of this gym is their full weight room with a strength and conditioning program run by a licensed physical therapist who also offers personalized physical therapy. In a city that has recently become the BJJ Mecca of the world, EAJJP has already established itself as the gold standard of what a gym should be. Don’t walk, RUN over to EAJJP and sign up today!
Best jiu jitsu gym in austin
Awesome JJ gym and the environment was so welcoming specially the coaches! Even if the class is already done They are still willing to help the students with their techniques. 100% recommended!
The sickest BJJ vibe in Austin.
I've been attending East Austin Jiu-Jitsu Parlor for about a month now, and I couldn't be more impressed! From day one, everyone here has been incredibly welcoming and helpful. The instructors are true masters of their craft, providing clear and effective instruction that has already helped me improve my skills. The gym itself is top-notch, with plenty of mat space and a fantastic weightlifting/CrossFit area where we do strength training. The community here is amazing—during open mat sessions, the other members have been not just great training partners but also generous teachers. I've learned so much in such a short time, thanks to their guidance. If you're looking for a place to train, improve, and be part of a supportive community, East Austin Jiu-Jitsu Parlor is the spot. Highly recommend!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR THIS GYM. First of all, it's the nicest facility I have seen. FOUR SHOWERS. AND two separate bathrooms AND dressing rooms. Also 8 squat racks and a full gym?! And you can use it all day without having to ask or book. What the heck. They also have a huge, beautiful mat space with big windows. I'm loving the strength and conditioning classes with Sean- he's a very knowledgeable weightlifter with a doctorate in PT. The classes are approachable for all skill levels and small enough that you get a lot of instruction. The jiu jitsu is top notch. Lots of black belts and knowledge in the building but their whole thing is having fun and not being too serious. Pretty good female presence here too so far and we're still growing. It's just what I've been looking for forever. Oh and they have real cool merch and also fizzy Gatorade on tap. Go east side!
Epic new space and great group of instructors leading classes. Big mat space, strength training area, a few showers, changing rooms, and a steam room… Hard to beat this setup.
East Austin Jiu Jitsu has some of the best coaching, facilities and Physio around and it’s all under 1 roof. Vince Barbosa has been a huge part of my development since moving to Austin and is a dedicated coach and athlete. On top of great training and coaching, their PT Sean helped me recover from a ACL tear a year ago and I recommend him to everyone, athlete or not. If you wana get started in bjj or are experienced and looking for a great gym, this is the spot.
Awesome group of guys opened the gym, they’re very welcoming, and have clearly invested a bunch into the space to make it an awesome place to train. There’s no voodoo bow to your masters nonsense. It’s only been open a few weeks and there’s already a good spread of ability levels and genders with instruction for beginners through to more advanced jiu jitsu folk. Also the merch is cool! And free beer on tap, so what isn’t there to love.
Fantastic gym run very professionally. Each class I tried was a great experience, already packed with high-level training partners and genuine people. No nonsense, and with the huge mat space and great amenities including a full gym and strength classes, it’s everything you need to either start training or get ready for your next competition. Can’t recommend enough, especially for the price!
Great instructors and awesome facility! Anyone interested in gi/nogi jiu jitsu or strength&conditioning should check out East Austin Jiu Jitsu Parlor!
This da spot
I’ve been waiting for this gym to open for so long and it was so worth the wait! I’ve been training nogi for 3 years and no gym has made me feel so comfortable around the students and coaches. Overall super fun vibe and the coaching is *chefs kiss*
While it is a very spacious, and fresh gym, with top of the line equipment and amenities, the real quality is in the staff. Courteous, kind, and knowledgeable in all aspects of what the gym offers, from strength and conditioning, to grappling, East Austin Jiu Jitsu Parlor is an amazing place to be. The classes are full of detail and welcomes all levels, with patience and time dedicated to help everyone achieve their personal goals.
Great new gym to train! Lots of good people and facilities. Very rad.
Never had a more beautiful jiu jitsu experience. Fresh
Top notch instruction, beautiful new gym with plenty of mat space. Would highly recommend to anyone - whether a complete beginner or advanced vet.
Incredible space!! Awesome instructors, everyone is very inviting, and great rolls. They also have strength training classes and a sauna.
Tons of mat space, and awesome amenities. The wifi is super fast and I love having a strength and conditioning gym included with my membership.
Really well organized. Facilities are fresh and clean 🙏🙏🙏. Mat space is massive plenty of room for shenanigans. Great spot to train.
Great people, the instructors are top-notch.
Been out of the BJJ game for a long time and this place is more than enough reason to dive back in. Giant mat space, full weight and conditioning setup, physical therapist, showers, and great instruction from some bjj beasts. You really couldn’t ask for more but they just opened and they’re still adding/improving. Really glad to see a revival of great jiu jitsu on the east side taught by great people.
Amazing gym! Top of the line facilities with huge mat space. I’ve had the chance to train with most of the instructors over the years and can confidently say that their combined experience provides the highest level of instruction that Austin has to offer in both Gi and No Gi jiu jitsu as well as strength and conditioning. Highly recommended!
Solid trains, cool facility, cool people, cool merch!
Top-level bjj and strength instructors in easily the best training space in Austin.
I hecently had an opportunity to see this place during construction. Excited for the East Austin BJJ scene. It looks like EAJJP will have amenities other academies do not. I look forward to dojo-storming.
