I pass at least eight other jiu-jitsu schools on the way here, and it’s always worth it. The atmosphere is super chill, and the vibe hits different the moment you walk in the door. Keller Elite has a special energy that makes training feel both challenging and welcoming. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for more than just another gym.

We have been members for 3 years and we love it! The perfect gym for families and anybody willing to start their journey into jiu jitsu, judo, and MMA! The kids programs are 2nd to none and our son has flourished under the instructors in both jiu jitsu and MMA. Big ups to Professor Roberto, Professor Tracy, Darion, Wes, and all other instructors!

My kids are having a great time here. All the instructors are very knowledgeable.
This place is the absolute best! Entire staff is welcoming . It gives me comfort knowing my kids are learning to defend themselves if need be and also learning respect and discipline. My kids love being a part of Keller Elite BJJ and MMA!
My son has been training here for 5 years, and I can't say enough good things about it! The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about Jiu-Jitsu. They take the time to break down techniques in a way that makes learning both fun and effective. The community here is welcoming and supportive-everyone helps each other improve, whether you're a beginner or an advanced student. The gym is also well-maintained, with clean mats and plenty of space to train sately. Since joining, my son gained not only technical skills but also confidence, discipline, and a great group of training partners. If you're looking for a top-notch Jiu-Jitsu academy, I highly recommend!
We are very happy at Keller Elite! The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to the kids' growth both on and off the mats. The atmosphere is welcoming, and our children feel supported and motivated every class. We highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place where kids can thrive and have fun!
Great coaching that balances fun and discipline for the whole family. We are challenged to work hard, focus on self control, patience and perseverance. No matter your age or skill level, Keller Elite is a great place to train.
Awesome place to train. Roberto and Tracy are top notch instructors, kind and incredibly skilled on the mats! They've cultivated an awesome gym environment, everyone is working to get better together. Almost 4 months in and the days I train are my favorite days each week. If you're looking for a gym to make the plunge and start jiu jitsu, this is it! Update: Around 1 year 4 months now training here and I continue to be impressed by the instruction and gym culture!
This is a great place to train jiu jitsu. From a great program to amazing instructors Robert’s doesn’t miss. Coming from another martial arts gym I truly felt myself improve drastically working with everyone here. The staff is safety first but still pushes you to be better than you from yesterday. Definitely recommend to anyone trying to get into the sport.
Awesome place and people. My son (10) has been training here for 3 years and has been successful in many tournaments. I (53) have been training for one and a half years. There is a family like atmosphere that everyone encourages one another to work hard and become better. Tracy and Roberto have a great program for kids and adults. Great for anyone that wants a hobby but also they produce elite competition fighters. Highly recommend
Absolutely love this school and all the instructors. My 11 year old son and 7 year old daughter love it!
I trialed at other places before picking this one. One of the main things that sold me was the people. The instruction is also great, but the people is what sells you. I also love the option of attending 5:30am classes or evening classes. The option of attending early morning classes makes it to where I hit my weekly class goal that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to do. 5 stars 🙌🏼
Great academy! The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. Tracy is an amazing coach—clear, patient, and supportive. Highly recommend!
What a great place to train! Great atmosphere, great people, and great jiujitsu, too! Thanks for having me! 💪🏽😎
Súper recomendada ésta escuela!!! 💯 La disciplina, el respeto y la dedicación, siento que son los valores que los caracterizan! He visto el avance de mis hijos, se han motivado a competir y llevan varias medallas ganadas!!!🥇🥈 Los Maestros prestan especial atención a los alumnos para su mejor desempeño y el ambiente entre alumnos es muy agradable! Orgullosa de que mis hijos estén en KELLER ELITE MARTIAL ARTS! 💪🏼😎🥋
Training at Keller Elite has truly been an “elite” experience. I’m so happy to have found a great group of people and coaches in an environment that fosters safety, education, and support to all training levels.
Been training here since 2021 and I absolutely love it here!!! You won’t find a better environment with skilled teammates or better training and instructors anywhere in the DFW, Roberto and Tracy are incredible professors of the craft and wonder people. This is the best place to learn grow and fall in love with the art of Jiu Jitsu.
Great Martial Arts School, family orientated, and fun environment that pushes it's students to be great everyday.
We LOVE Keller Elite! My now husband introduced me to the school a few years ago and as someone who had no prior experience with any sort of martial arts, I can honestly say I can't imagine sticking with it at any other school. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and fantastic teachers willing to meet you wherever you are whether you are a novice or experienced veteran in martial arts. Their kids program is amazing too and I can't wait until our own son is old enough to get started! If you're looking for a martial arts community that feels like family, you'll find it here!
We love Keller Elite. Our son has learned so much and flourished in the sport over the last couple of years thanks to Coach Tracy and the rest of the team!
Our 10 yr old has been attending classes for a few months now and we are seeing so much more confidence in him and respect for adults from him. It's not just about the skills on the floor but the characteristics that are also learned that makes this place great!
My family has been coming here for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for years. My husband since 2020 and my two oldest girls since 2021. I can't fully express how empowering it is that my young girls can defend themselves. Tracy, the head instructor for the kids' classes, is incredible—she's been a black belt for about 10 years and is an amazing role model. Her teaching style resonates with the kids and keeps them engaged. They actively discuss scenarios and strategies for dealing with bullies and other threats. The youth instructors, including Keegan, Skylar, and Ysis, are equally fantastic. The consistency in coaches creates trust and enhances communication, making a real difference in their learning experience. I've noticed that my kids are much calmer after their classes. The workouts really wear them out, but they also help release any pent-up aggression. I've found that many of the adults that practice BJJ are incredibly relaxed and stoic, and this must be a big reason! The lessons and experiences my kids are gaining at Keller Elite Martial Arts are truly priceless.
Great place to train. Made me wish I found Jiu Jitsu sooner. 5:30am classes are well taught and help you wake up for sure.
Martial arts can be exciting and absolutely terrifying when first starting out. Tracy and Roberto have cultivated their school to be inviting and family friendly. Everyone is so nice and eager to help you on your jiu jitsu journey. This school is amazing! The kids have a blast and are impressively technical. My wife and I have being going to this school for years and can't wait to get our son into jiu jitsu when he's old enough!
5 stars is not enough. Outstanding coaches, supportive environment and overall positive vibe. 🤙
This gym is absolutely amazing! Whether you’re looking for a place for your kids to excel in competition or simply want them to learn self-defense and gain confidence, this is the place to be. The kids’ classes cater to both competition-driven students who want to reach the highest levels and those just looking to try something new, with students as young as four years old learning solid jiu-jitsu fundamentals in a fun and supportive environment. The adult classes are just as impressive. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the people here come from all walks of life, creating a diverse and friendly training environment. Classes are led by a top-notch black belt instructor who brings a wealth of experience and dedication to every session. Whether you’re training for competition or just want to improve your fitness and learn self-defense, you’ll be surrounded by great people who are always willing to help and push you to improve. I can’t recommend this gym enough for anyone looking to dive into jiu-jitsu, no matter their age or skill level!
Great spot to train. Great community. Offers a great early morning class for adults
Great place with great instructors. Definitely would suggest sending your kids and adults
When our son showed interest in martial arts, we started looking locally and based on feedback from others we tried Keller Elite. Tracy and the entire team do an amazing job of taking an interest in the development of each and every individual. A few years later and now both of our children and my husband spend multiple days a week practicing and developing their skills with the team. They have an upbeat and inclusive culture, that makes you feel at home, and keeps us coming back! Thank you to all the amazing instructors and coaches at Keller Elite! We can’t thank you enough ❤️
Family friendly environment the whole family can train at. Your kids will love it. Great instructors for the hobbyist or the competitive enthusiast
I'm so glad I picked this school for my first foray into martial arts. I didn't think I was someone who could do sports (let alone combat sports), but Tracy and Roberto have believed in me from the start and I'm so grateful to them. I've been training here for about 4 and a half years now, have learned a lot and have no plans to stop. Very supportive and nurturing environment. 10/10
Best place in town! We have been going there with our son for years and he absolutely loves everyone. Would highly recommend
Our son started at Keller Elite a year ago and absolutely loves it. The coaching staff is absolutely amazing and the class schedules are very accommodating. Our son enjoyed it so much our daughter decided to start taking classes as well and we couldn't be happier with their progress! If your considering martial arts for your child you couldn't find a better place than Kellwr elite martial arts! Come join the family!
Our guard game is good
Morning classes are 🔥 🔥🔥 I’ve already learned a lot from Trey in a short amount of time, everybody is super welcoming, mat space is huge and the rolls are the best part of my day!
Great place to learn. My kids started two months ago and they have become part of a team. Instructors are always helpful and very knowledgeable.
Great place to learn. My kids started two months ago and they have become part of a team. Instructors are always helpful and very knowledgeable. We’re a year in and we have seen my kids skills grow exponentially . They continue learn and love this place.
Roberto, Tracy and their team are fantastic. My kids love going to jiu jitsu and it’s been a positive experience for the whole family. Tracy has such a great way with kids. She is nurturing and has the ability to reach every kid at every stage of their jiu jitsu journey. I’m so glad we left our old gym to come here. Highly recommend.
My daughter and I have been training at this academy for three months now. It’s felt like home since day one. The staff & students have created a magnetic culture welcoming people of all ages, skills and goals. My daughter and I look forward to attending class here each week!
Friendly people ,clean , loved the environment
This place is great! Lots of class options for kids, high expectations with tons of learning, and the support is fabulous. There's always people from the gym rooting for our son at competitions. We can't recommend it enough!
We love this place! Our son has learned so much. They challenge him to work harder but are also so encouraging in the progress he’s made. He wouldn’t want to train anywhere else!
We started at Keller Elite because of their amazing kids program. Tracy is such a great instructor and really communicates with the kids in a way they can understand and learn. I was convinced jiu jitsu was not for me personally, but my husband convinced me to try it and I was also hooked. Now the whole family trains here and it’s like our second home. Couldn’t recommend it more!
I have been training BJJ here since the summer of 2011. It is so enjoyable you don’t even feel like you are working out. The intensity of that workout is all up to you. All of the instructors are top notch and I believe the best in the area. All types of techniques are covered so you will have a lot of information to keep you busy training. Lots of attention to detail is given for each technique. So if you practice, you will have the moves down perfectly. All types of people and skill levels train here. No matter who you are, or what you are trying to accomplish, you will have someone to train with. I thought I was supposed to be in my prime in my 20’s. I am in my 40’s, and after training here I feel the strongest I have ever been.
This place is awesome. Amazing instruction and all around good community. Super open for new people and makes learning easy, as well as everyone that goes there is kind and helpful!
This is the best school in Texas! Our kids love this place more than our house! It all comes down to the wonderful instructors and the fantastic community that surrounds them.
Absolutely love this school. My son stated about 6 months ago. Couldn't be happier.
I Cannot give KELLER Elite martial arts enough praise. The gyms very clean and the instructors are very professional are great about keeping the children focused.
A fantastic school to train at! I would say what ultimately drove me to choosing Keller Elite, after trialing 4 different schools, was the way skills/technique were taught. The way skills are drilled and taught in a continuation manner/flow into the next skill has been one of my best experiences as a student (previously trained TKD 10 years). On top of this the people here are fantastic. From the instructors to the students - all are very willing to help new guys! Thank you, Roberto and Tracy!
I trained here for a short time around 2020 when I was a purple belt and it is a great place to train. Roberto is a great methodical instructor with a unique approach teaching body movements and then tying those movements into the move or lesson of the day. I really liked this. Plus he is an absolute beast on the mat! And Tracy is an amazing black belt who really knows her stuff. She is very tough on the mat! She has a wealth of knowledge and is an exceptional teacher and communicator. She is a great adult teacher but also is fantastic with the kids program as well. Overall this place has a great atmosphere, whether training for competition or for family fun. I really appreciate them and think that the training is top notch but also a great value compared to other facilities. Plus they have a great black judo instructor and judo classes.
Amazing team, very friendly to drop ins! And Highly Technical Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!!
Highly recommend. My son has been doing it for a few months now. He loves it. Staff is awesome too.
Love this place. Great people and great training. Update: It’s still true!
Great facilities and great instructors. 10/10 would get choked out here again.
Amazing place
I cannot say enough good things about Keller Elite Martial Arts! Our 12 year old son joined recently and the atmosphere and the methods they use to teach are fantastic. We are so proud that our son is now part of the family up there!
I’ve been training at Keller Elite MMA for a little over a year and a half. It keeps getting better and better. Not only are there a ton of classes that make it easy to get training into my schedule, the prices are very affordable, but also the value is incredible. Every time I’m rolling with other grapplers I do quite well and when I mention training with Prof Tracy or Prof Roberto they not only know the name but they speak of them with respect. It’s an amazing family environment and I would recommend it to anyone in my capacity as a parent, a grappler, and a doctor.
Professor Roberto And Tracy Are Absolutely Amazing There Knowledge Experience Ability To Teach is outstanding. The environment is excellent a beautiful space. Good energy Friendly Team. I highly recommend if you are in the keller area.
Drove up from Houston for a private lesson, he learned a lot and had a blast. Definitely recommended everyone checking this place out
Great place, great people and awesome environment!
Great atmosphere and culture!
Tracy is the best she always takes a lot of time with my 5-year-old son!!
Can't say enough about Keller Elite. Our 6 year old son has some challenges, and Ms. Tracy and student instructors work great with him. He has been attending for a few weeks, and we already see him refocused. He is eager to go and enjoys his mat time. The facility is clean and everyone there is very friendly and engaging. Its definitely a great, positive environment.
Fantastic people who make you feel comfortable from the very beginning. Great schedule with several options to learn a variety of disciplines. I highly recommend!
The Coaches and members are friendly and helpful as this is my daughter’s first experience with Jiu-jitsu; the training sessions build her confidence daily. There is a tangible feeling of camaraderie, respect, and a willingness to learn among the participants, which I believe is a great reflection of the staff’s commitment to excellence in training.
Tracy and Roberto are the best jiu jitsu instructors in the world 🐐. They train hard, smart and have fun!
Fun place very well taught classes
I am a chiropractor and treat several people that train at this facility. I recently started here because of their high recommendations. This is a 5 star facility! As a doctor I know I’m in great hands with the best trainers, best facility, and a huge team attitude. I’ve looked into other local places and they were not friendly nor was their a team attitude. I love training here and recommend this facility to anyone looking to start out or to hone their higher level of training. The facility is brand new, clean, kid friendly, and also full of wonderful classmates that want to help you grow and learn.
Great, clean family friendly environment with excellent teaching
I've trained here for the past three years. From my very first class, it has been nothing but a positive experience. The instructors are exceptional in their teaching, highlighting technical but important details while still keeping the instruction approachable. The fellow students are all friendly yet competitive. If you live near the area I can't recommend training here enough
I have really enjoyed my time at Keller Elite MMA. I have always enjoyed exercising but jujitsu is like nothing I have ever done before. Not only is it physically demanding, but I really enjoy the mental aspect. And I couldn't have picked a better place to start this new chapter in my life. Keep up the good work Keller Elite!
My kids being doing BJJ in Keller Elite team for over 4 years. We love Ms. Tracy, she is an amazing super lady! We miss a lot Mr. Robert he was a great trainer. Patience is a virtue and many Martial Art schools don't have. But here in Keller Elite they do!!!👏👏🙌
Keller Elite BJJ has a brand new facility. The team here makes you feel very welcome. Great instructors and a great learning environment. Everyone is cordial with one another and always ready to help one another. Keller Elite has a great variety schedule that can fit anyone's lifestyle from early mornings, to evening, and weekend classes. Once you join, you won't regret! You will always be motivated to show up and get a great workout.
This is an absolute amazing place to learn BJJ and Judo. All Professors are awesome and they care a lot about the student's evolution. The atmosphere is super friendly and the facility is great!
Our family has been undergoing training for almost a year. It has been a fantastic journey and all the trainers are world class. We would highly recommend this school for school age and adults!
Originally brought my Boys (12 and 9), I saw their first class, and I said “damn I wanna sum of that action”. So I signed up also , now it’s something else my boys and I can bond with. The instructors are awesome and all the higher belts are all willing to help you learn. It really feels like a family here. HEY YOU!!! ... YEA YOU!!! STOP READING AND COME SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT🔥🔥🔥🥋🥋🥋
This school has great instructors and a friendly, open atmosphere. I definitely recommend trying out a class.
I have been going to this place for a little over a year, and it has been an amazing experience. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help you grow in the sport. I highly recommend checking it out even if your just looking for a good workout.
I have been attending classes here for about 6 months. The instruction is absolutely top notch. Everyone is respectful and goes out of their way to make sure you feel welcome. The kids classes are the best mix of fun and education. My kids are excited to show up and train. Keller Elite is a great place to learn and grow in a positive environment.
Excellent team of instructors with a great ability to keep the kids engaged.
My 8 year old daughter has always been interested in martial arts, and after trying other places we've found this gym to be the best! Tracy is amazing with the kids and my daughter's confidence has grown by leaps and bounds!
I compete in Brazilian jiu jitsu this gym has given me many tools to pull out in my competition Learn somthing new every time. The judo class is also amazing! As a Marine combat veteran I highly recommend this gym
My son has been attending Keller Elite for several years. We tried many other martial arts classes before this and Keller Elite is by far superior in their teaching methods, discipline methods, and provide the right amount of fun. My son struggles with attention, but at Keller Elite they were able to help him focus without making feel like the bad kid (something that happened in other classes). They use positive reinforcement by giving the kids duct tape stripes on their belts for hard work. Also, Coach Tracy is able to keep the kids in line without yelling. They all listen to her and respect her. Her soft spoken way of coaching amazes me. I highly recommend Keller Elite.
Went to a ton of places to see about starting my 7 year old son in Jiu Jitsu. We chose Keller Elite and have been so happy with that decision. My son is thriving and they are great with him. He is encouraged every class and his self esteem is improving so much!
Love this place!
We absolutely love Keller Elite! The exercises and structure has given our very active son an outlet. All of the instructors love what they do, and it shows. I highly recommend them.
Amazing school. My son and I train here and we really enjoy the atmosphere and dedication to learning . Roberto and Tracy have really made it a point to make sure you understand the training and they take the time to actually get on the mat and roll with you so they can make sure you understand. If you are serious or even curious you really owe it to yourself to stop in and say hello.
My boys and I tried 5 different styles/dojos of martial arts in the Keller area. Keller Elite is the best. We have been going for over two years and are really enjoying it.
We drive over 40 minutes to go here. This gym has been our home away from home for 4 years now. We originally started to help my son behave better and as a way to burn off extra energy. Never did we think it would turn into what it has, another family. He has made some amazing friends here. We love the instructors and my son loves the classes (there are days we are there for 4 hours!) We are so lucky to have found a gym where the students recieve so much attention from the instructors and really help them grow a love for Jiu Jitsu. You wont be sorry if you make the choice to try this place out!
My daughter trained there with Roberto and Tracy for several years. It increased her self confidence and helped her in so many ways. It is great for kids who want to go full steam into martial arts as well as those who want to get discipline and exercize
I've been proud to call this place home once I got on the mats here. Instructors are truly top notch and the atmosphere is great and welcoming to all. Amazing place to train! If you're looking for a jiu jitsu gym, look no further!
I’ve trained here for over 7 years and my son, age 9, also trains here as well. Roberto and Tracy are fantastic instructors and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, regardless of your age or skill level.
Great place for anyone wanting to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Great instructors and students, very beginner friendly. I started it as a way to get in shape and learn something new. Great instructors for the kids as well, my oldest son recently started and was hooked after day 1. Highly recommend anyone interested in BJJ for themselves or their kids to give this place a try.
Great staff. Clean environment. Best teaching available. Family friendly. If you want to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo or Muay Thai, this is the place to be. And unlike other martial art facilities, they don't use scare tactics or insults to keep your business. And that is spoken from experience.
Roberto is not only incredibly skilled jiu jitsu practitioner but he is also an excellent instructor and has trained many black belts to be excellent instructors like Tracy! I love to stop by and work with Roberto before big tournaments and his gym is always inviting. I've trained under 5 systems and when I have my own gym I want it to be like Roberto Kaelin's martial arts academy because of the skill combined with friendliness in the environment.
Great school. Roberto and Tracy are true practioners to the technique and training. This is my 2nd BJJ school and I knew the training would be top level due to Roberto's BJJ lineage.
They are great with kids! They explain it in terms they understand! They also make it fun for the kids while holding them to high standards. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with the kids. My son has learned a lot and is having a blast!
My son has been training here for a year. He has trained in multiple disciplines all over the country. Never has he been this excited to go to class and train! We love the instructors and students. If you are serious about training and want to work with the best, there is no better school. Check your ego at the door, the most polite and unassuming people in this school can effectively render you submissive. It's not a school it's a family of smiling ninjas.
Excellent instruction from Roberto Kaelin, Tracy D'arcy, and Robert Melton. The academy more so than others has family feel and is very inviting. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a tough sport and having skilled instruction and a family/community feel unites everyone to a common of goal of protecting ones self and having fun. Additionally, they are NOT a buy-a-belt academy where money moves you up in rank. When you receive a belt you have truly earned it and it will show when you train with others. Lastly, they have a strong fiduciary commitment to their members and treat them with respect and their business practices are outstanding. I can say enough. Thanks, Roger
I absolutely love this place. Extremely friendly very knowledgeable instructors. Patient and welcoming for students whether you're a kid or an adult. I love this place for its lack of macho or otherwise intimidating behavior you can find at a lot of other martial arts places. This place is always my number one recommendation.
This BJJ club is incredible! I haven't felt more welcomed as I have here. I highly recommend Roberto Kaelin's Academy. Tracy and Roberto are very easy to talk to and engage you in conversation. They break down BJJ perfectly which makes it easier to learn. You will get amazing instruction, a friendly environment, and they offer great schedules for everyone.
My child and I did not feel safe, comfortable or welcome here.
