Visited while in town for work. As a black belt I look for gyms that are well ran, safe, and clean. Class was great, professor Alex was teaching. Had several other black belts. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Planning to stop in again next time I'm in the area.
I have been training Jiu Jitsu for over 6 years. Alex and his amazing team of Professors have changed the game for me. The training partners at this gym are very welcoming, and have a high level of skill. If you want the highest level of training with a great group of people, this is your gym.
After moving to Texas from Canada, my kids and I found more than just a Jiu Jitsu school—we found a home and a new family at Progresso Jiu Jitsu! From day one, we were welcomed with open arms into an incredible community. The instructors here are world-class—highly knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly encouraging, especially with the kids. The adult classes are equally outstanding, offering detailed, well-structured instruction in a supportive and friendly environment.
Professor Alexander Trans is a true legend in the sport, and he, along with the other amazing instructors and staff, has built a culture that fosters learning, growth, and fun for everyone.
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, this is the perfect place to train, improve, and be part of something special. I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu and grow as an individual!
Stopped in while visiting TX from NY tonight. Excellent gym. Great staff, coaching, and facility. Would definitely visit again and consider making this my home gym if I lived here.
I dropped in for a random enough session when I was in town, and they treated me like family. Professor Pedro (BomBom?) led my class and ensured that I was welcomed and always knew what was going on. Equally important, there was good camaraderie amongst the others in the class--and that's a great credit to the school. 10/10 would come back and train with them any time.
Great experience at Progresso jiu jitsu. Marilyn is very kind and welcoming. Professors Alex is very good at explaining the details. Our school is closed for the holidays and our girl loved training here.
If you're interested in starting or restarting your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey, Progresso is definitely the right foot in that direction.
The Frisco school is clean, well organized and fosters a great learning environment for kids, and adults of all skill levels.
The Instructors are top tier competitors who have successfully competed and won on the biggest of stages world wide. They have the unique abilities to also motivate and teach the students the gentle art, effective with attention and patience.
If you're an adult, you're going to learn and get a lot out yourself from Progresso, and if you're a parent, your children are in great hands to learn a fun, healthy and dynamic sport.
I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Progresso early March of 2024.
Of all the sports and things that I've done, by far JiuJitsu has been the thing I have found a love for the most.
I'm not good at it by any means, but the sport, the Professors, the school, my teammates, and the families involved here, definitely motivate me to want to keep going.
The benefits are many; my weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, and everything else has dramatically improved since I started a short 7 months ago.
My wife and daughter, also grew interested in Jiu Jitsu and they love it as well, so it's also added another facet of bonding for our family.
Speaking of family, the connections and friendships we've been blessed with here at Progresso have been wonderful.
The environment at Progresso is very welcoming and great for anyone's JiuJitsu journey. Whether you're looking to start Jiu Jitsu as a hobby, self defense, exercise, competing, reliving old glory days, restarting the journey, or looking for a community, Progresso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu might be for you.
And if you're unsure or curious if Jiu Jitsu is for you or your family, Progresso does offer free, no obligations trial classes, with no pressure sales or sign ups tactics.
The school even provides you with a Gi "Karate Pajamas" for your trial.
You would just need to invest an hour of your own time to attend a class to feed that curiosity.
Professor Alex, Professor Davi, Professor Bombom and Professor Carol are all knowledgeable instructors - come try it out; successful world class athletes - YouTube and Google their names; and just great people in general.
This is the best martial arts school ever .the instructors also emphasize the importance of proper technique to maximize effectiveness and safe .definitely recommend coming here .
Best place to learn Jiu Jitsu at whether you’re a beginner or not. I spoke on the phone with Marilyn and she was amazing at answering all of my questions I had about the gym. Not to mention the coaches there are welcoming and very professional.
This is an amazing place to start your jui jitsu career amazing people especially Marilyn she was amazing and teaches her profession very well. I love this place and it’s amazing people there that know their practice amazingly.
Will 100% return to Progresso on the next trip to Dallas. Coach Bombom made us work and provides comprehensive instruction thats easy to understand. Was unable to train in gi but the no gi classes were fun, exhausting, and will you feeling like you left everything on the mat. Thank you Coach Bombom and Maryland for the southern hospitality, hope to roll with y'all again in the future.

The environment is positive and welcoming, with a strong sense of community that motivates you to push your limits and have fun while training. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—whether you're just starting out or looking to take your skills to the next level, this is the place to be! Marilyn at the front desk is always kind and ready to help. OSS! 🙌🏼
My husband started BJJ at Progresso in February 2024 and he had such an amazing experience that myself and our daughter both joined as well. We all love the Professors and the amazing community of people at both locations. We’ve made friends that have become family and have gained such a deep love for the sport.
Progresso is one the best gyms in the area. The coaches are professional, the instruction is the best around, and the environment is very welcoming. Try it out!
Progresso jiu jitsu is hands down the best training in the country.
Alex, Davi, Pedro and Carol are world class athletes and ranked some of the top athletes in the world.
If you are looking to train jiu jitsu there is no better place.
This place is the absolute best. I’ve had my two kids in various jiu jitsu gyms over the years and Progresso is by far the ultimate experience. Coach Pedro and Coach Marilyn are so warm and welcoming. Both coaches are very nurturing and supportive while remaining structured. They truly make each class engaging, interactive and fun. Both my kids beg to go to jiu jitsu every day. The coaches are amazing, it’s family oriented and highly professional. Also, the gym is always clean and we definitely appreciate that.
I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2017 and I have been training at Progresso since 2020. Jiu Jitsu is very unique. Initially it can appear that it is a solo activity, but you soon learn no one improves unless they have a supportive team around them. The team Alexander Trans has built at Progresso is second to none. There is a strong sense of teamwork and pride among everyone who trains at Progresso. The gym is kept very clean and is well maintained. The atmosphere is very friendly and inviting. I would recommend Progresso Frisco to anyone from a person ( child or adult ) with zero experience to someone who is a seasoned professional. You are going to get a great workout in and you are going to learn something new.
I am a lifelong martial artist and have trained in over a dozen schools around the world. The community and culture that Professor Trans and his team have built is among the best I have ever seen. There is training for all ages and abilities, and I look forward to training with them again.
I have been doing Jiu Jitsu for over 10 years. The last two years has been at Progresso Jiu Jitsu and it's been an incredible experience. The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and dedicated. I can almost guarantee that this is the highest level of technicality in BJJ you will receive from anyone in the world. The facility is top-notch and very clean, providing a great environment for learning and training. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu. OSS
Progresso, Alex and his staff are amazing! I've been at the plano location for almost a year, and I'm pumped to have a location in Frisco! If BJJ is something you want to try, this is the place to take your first class. Progresso is a safe place to learn at any age and I really hope to see whoever is reading this on the mat soon!
