Great teacher. Exhibits a lot of passion for the sport, and that shows in his enthusiasm during class. Does a good job explaining the mechanics of each move and guiding students through issues. Brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience from a lifetime in the sport. Definitely recommend for beginners and veterans alike.

Jesse is a great teacher for all levels of experience. He really takes time to answer questions and is very technical in his approach. I definitely recommend taking any of Jesse’s classes you won’t regret it!

I tried BJJ once before and my experience was mediocre enough to not give it a second go. Jesse convinced me to try his class, and since then I’ve been hooked. The experience was and is top notch. Although his classes can be intense and challenging, he is constantly encouraging me and others to believe in ourselves to overcome difficult things. He is a wealth of knowledge and is undeniably passionate about this sport and the development of those that stick to it. If you’re thinking about trying Jiu-Jitsu, look no further than Jesse Palmer Jiu-Jitsu. You won’t regret it.

Coach Palmer has been great with kids. Every class they’re learning something different and coach goes around to ensure each student is doing it correctly. Sunday classes are great because there are a lot more endurance drills they work through to build stamina and strength. He runs class with a good amount of toughness with a little coddling for the much younger kids. Older kids he tell push to try different moves and refuses to let them use the same submission or hold. Class runs an hour ish long to ensure they get a few rounds of matches amongst the group. My 7 and 10 year old girls do this and TKD and I feel like one helps the other learning new techniques and builds strength and character. Definitely worth a try, we stumbled upon it after missing their TKD class and they’ve been in it for about 7 months now

Jesse is a phenomenal instructor, balancing rigorous training with genuine encouragement. His attention to technique, combined with a deep understanding of each student's needs, made the session both challenging and rewarding.

My son has been training Jiu-Jitsu with Coach Jesse for 2 years, and I can honestly say he’s an incredible coach. If anyone I know is even slightly interested in Jiu-Jitsu, Jesse is always my top recommendation. He’s not just dedicated to teaching—he clearly loves what he does and has a true passion for Jiu-Jitsu. When my son started, he was shy and timid, but over these 2 years, I’ve seen an amazing transformation. He’s become so much more confident and resilient, and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. If you’re thinking about Jiu-Jitsu for your child, I can’t recommend Coach Jesse enough. My son was so lucky to have found such an outstanding coach from the very beginning!

I train with Jesse Palmer every Tuesday and Thursday night and have learned a lot so far. A great leader on and off the mats. As a purple belt, I can say he is a pushes you to become a better athlete and teaches you to use new skills to unlock your untapped potential. With a wide variety of guard and passing skills, he is able to coach students from beginners to high performance black belts

I’ve been lucky to train under Professor Jesse, and he’s been amazing. He’s patient, super detailed, and really cares about each of us. He pushes us to do our best because he truly believes we can. His technical skills are top-notch, and he’s great at breaking things down so they’re easy to understand. Plus, his passion for jiu jitsu is contagious and makes every class both challenging and fun. I’m really grateful for the chance to learn from him and would definitely recommend his coaching to anyone looking to up their game.

Jesse is a tough coach in a good way. Challenges me to be my best self. Having the heat turned on in the middle of class when its 100° outside really lights a fire within you, both literally and figuratively. I love training under Jesse because he doesn’t accept complacency— but he is still so patient! Highly recommend. If you’re thinking about Jiu-Jitsu— do it!! It’s so worth the work!

Today was my first day at Jesse Palmer BJJ. I'm in my late 30s, and I've been wanting to learn martial arts for some time, especially to help me with my daily routine and duties. I always had the impression—and I've heard it in many places—that training in martial arts is beneficial, and I can tell you now that it’s true. Going to Jesse Palmer BJJ is like going to the gym but with a very professional instructor and great members. The classes are straight to the point; as soon as it's your time to practice, you start working on Jiu Jitsu positions and techniques. The best part of the class is at the end when you get to "roll" with another student. I'm glad I found this place, and I highly recommend Jesse Palmer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Plano. It completely exceeded all my expectations of the martial art, the instructor, and the members. RB

Brown belt from Southern California here. I was in Plano for a couple days. Professor Palmer let me drop by and train with them for an hour and half. Amazing high level jiu jitsu and hospitality on par as well.

Jesse’s reputation precedes him, but I was very impressed the first time I took a class from him. He is a great teacher that pushes his students even if they don’t want to compete. He brings a rare blend of intelligence, technique and power that transfers over to his students.

I started going to Jesse a few months ago and love it! He’s a great professor and really cares about his students advancing in their performance. He does expect you to work hard, but has the patience to really breakdown techniques for you to be able to understand. Thanks to him and the rest of the class, I can say I’ll do bjj for life! I’m hooked!

I love training here! Jesse is super proficient when it comes to high level jiujitsu, he teaches us everything from the fundamentals to the highest technical tricks. His emphasis on good warm up and stretching is so important as it reduces injuries. I’ve been training with him for over a year and been doing jiujitsu for 10 years.

Professor Jesse Palmer is a great instructor. The culture is tight knit and cohesive. The standards from drills to the details for every technique are high. Retention of knowledge with his style of teaching is high. There is great emphasis on no gi as well as gi. He drills and trains just as hard as his students. You’ll even get to roll with him. You won’t find a better place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Trained with Jesse Palmer for several years. He is a very dedicated coach and training partner. He is always evolving his skill set and is passionate about teaching others. He works well with beginners and advanced students. I also took private lessons from Jesse Palmer which helped me fill in the gaps on the little details.

I visited Professor Palmer’s gym while in town visiting family in the north Dallas area. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The level of technical rolling during open Mat was excellent. Great ambassador for the Soul Fighters team. As someone who has been learning and competing Jiu Jitsu for over a decade I would strongly recommend checking them out.

I've been Jesse's student since he started teaching in Plano. I must say you won't find a more genuine person who cares about his students enough to roll with them so that they know how to train and what to expect. Jesse will push you mentally, physically and technically. He teaches you as he rolls with you so you know how to get out of some stuff. He will also expect you to work hard and give your best.
