Great place for kids to learn BJJ under a recognized leader and expert. The kids classes are will paced and you can tell that the instructors care about the art. Classes available starting at young as 5 years old. Don't worry, they only teach defensive maneuvering to the little ones The cost is right in line with any of the local martial arts schools. Our child's monthly fee is $120. The first month was $140, but that also included the gi (uniform).

Totally recommend RCJ Machado in Allen! Our kids are going on 2 years training here and as a parent I am impressed with the holistic training approach. Kids must be good students both in the gym and in the classroom before earning the next belt. Instructors instill good values in the gym and in life in general. Learning environment is positive and instructors meet kids wherever they are in their jujitsu journey. Staff is approachable and knowledgeable. Can't say enough good things about this place and the people in it!

I’ve been training at the John Machado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy since Spring 2021 with no previous training in any other martial art. Master Machado and his family never cease to make me feel like family. I am continually learning/growing from the excellent instruction of Master Machado and also from several black and brown belt instructors. The various levels and ages of training partners also keep me learning and constantly challenged. All who train are always willing to help others grow and improve with high level competition and respect. The only thing I wish is that I started training at an earlier age, but I look forward to sharpening my skills with each class/training session. Many thanks to The Machado Family for their ongoing contributions to the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the positive impact they have had on me.

I've been attending this academy since 2014 and so many positive things have come from my martial arts training here. John Machado has been around and seen it all and his wisdom shows. The culture created here is very unique and welcoming to individuals of all ages and skill levels. This has become a second home to me and I've made so many great relationships through this school. One of the best decisions I've made. A+

John Machado BJJ is an incredible place. Not only is Professor Machado among the most experienced teachers in the world, this school is among the most inviting. From my very first day, professor Machado and the other teachers made me feel welcome. The safety of students is their primary concern and you will not find any over aggressive students trying to hurt you. All of the students help each other to the best of their ability. I have lost 40lbs and been inspired to eat better and exercise regularly since I began training here.
