Welcome to Home for the Best Martial Arts Lessons for Kids and Adults in Carrollton. Star Jiu Jitsu has been a landmark of Carrollton for many great years!
Star Mixed Martial Arts offers an amazing boxing program! Coach Ron Van Browning is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about your progress. The classes are well-structured, motivating, and great for all levels. I’ve improved so much in a short time and always look forward to training. Highly recommend to anyone serious about boxing or just getting started!
Came here to do some training while visiting. I did the Jiu Jitsu class. The instructor was grwat and the other student werw friendly and inviteing. I did not do the Muay Thai class, but the instructor and students that did were also friendly.
Best place to learn something new to help you defend yourself. Coach Yousef and all the other coaches are phenomenal and you will wish you came here sooner. Thank you coach Yousef!
I've been training here about 7 months. Coach Yousef is a great coach and has an amazing wealth of knowledge of different grappling arts like wrestling, sambo, and BJJ. I mainly train mornings doing no gi with Ephraim, who is a great instructor, as well. There are lots of people training here with a ton of experience who are great training partners and willing to help share their knowledge.
This is an extremely great place with experienced coaches in all aspects of martial arts. If you want to learn the art and prepare to compete this is the place to go to. Perfect atmosphere. Ask to speak with coach yousef he has helped me out a lot towards my goals and he is been a national jiu jitsu champion a couples of time. You will be in great hands.
Been training BJJ here for the last three months. I’ve always wanted to train BJJ for most of my adult life and finally got the courage to walk through the doors. You get great instruction from both coach Daniel and Coach Yousef. Several members go consistently and are tough partners to train with (only makes you better). The gym has a balanced mix of both No Gi and Gi so that you have variety in your training and the skills acquired.
If you’re looking for a great BJJ gym, Star is it. Come over and train. We’ll see you on the mats.
Recently joined this gym, having no MMA experience was a bit nervous at first. Everyone has been super friendly and willing to slow down and help learn the different techniques properly. Will happily continue going and would definitely recommend this gym to anyone with or without experience!
I will say this is one of the best places to come to and learn . Coach Yousef really knows how his stuff and makes it fun to learn at any age. So glad I joined and literally get a work out like never before. If you are looking for a gym near you or just want something new, look no further!
Great classes and awesome coaches. Coach Yousef is great at his craft. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in joining BJJ or any of the classes at this gym.
Star BJJ has one of the best atmospheres of any gym I have visited! Yousef is a great teacher and the community is very open and accepting. From newbie to experienced players, I highly recommend this gym
My go to place for brazilian jiu jitsu, followed my original coach Daniel to this place after initial gym closed down and it's been an amazing experience. Yousef is the head coach and has good knowledge base for all the grappling, will answer any questions asked during class, plus it's a great learning environment too. All those who train are great partners, looking to help you improve and there is a relaxing yet strong vibe here. I always get a chance to ask questions after class as well, Yousef and others who train regularly here are open to drilling and helping even after class ends. Love it, highly recommend!!
First day of practice for my teenage son.. Every person in practice was very welcoming to a new person, could not found a better place then this one!!!
This is such a great place. Doesnt matter if you are starting fresh or have experience. The environment is always friendly and they have excellent kids programs. I did BJJ for about 2 months here, i had a very low skill set. I ended up losing 20 llbs and learning so much just from 2 days a week. Thank you so much for everything.
I can see why all 5 star reviews. I was up from Houston called got a great welcoming on the phone. Head coach who was out of country would be very proud everyone was friendly and inviting. Being a guest I was asked if I was interested in any lesson in particular . When it came time to roll I was asked in the best way ever if I wanted a flow roll or a death match. I was asked way more eloquently than that. It was the perfect way to see what type of bjj guy I was. I got to roll with nothing but black belts. Had a blast and will return.
(I picked flow roll)
Coach Yousef Alirezaei is one of the most patient, understanding and helpful people I have ever met. He truly cares about his students and wants each of them to succeed. This in turn creates a supportive environment where all the students mimic the instructor and are always enthusiastic about helping each other out. I highly recommend Star BJJ.
Probably the best place around to learn different forms of MMA. They have individual classes for Boxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA. Plus, they're good, cool people. They have two locations not far from each other.
I've been around the block a few times in the DFW area with BJJ gyms and this one is top notch. Save yourself years of trying gyms and start here. You can thank me later.
I have been a Fighter since I was 6 Years old. Coached by Professional Boxers, Olympic Coaches, etc.
Yousef is Hands Down the Best Coach - Mentor I have ever met in my life.
You are a Blessing to our lives Coach Yousef. Thank You...
Very good teachers. My son has been here for 5 years. He has learned more than any other school and gets best technique. Big change in attitude and personality as well.
I have been training with Yousef and Mohsen for over 15 years. They are extremely knowledgeable and teach at a high level every class. I have looked at other schools and know that these Coaches can offer technical and well rounded skills in a GI or No Gi. If you are trying to join a school, look at the level of accomplishment these 2 Coaches have and train high level guys too. I learn something new every time I train. They are the best!!
I have been training judo for over 30 years and Brazilian jiu-jitsu for about 10 years. I love the atmosphere, the hard workouts and the family feel. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu training is amazing with tons of variations led by very experienced instructors. You get a great workout every time, the rolls are tough; the fellow students are skilled and committed. You finish each class very tired, but you enjoy EVERY MINUTE of it. You get a compete workout with a focus on conditioning, technique and rolling. There are many students to train with and excellent instructors to learn from.
It’s a great facility with excellent location; the school is spacious and very clean.
This is a very friendly club where everyone is welcomed and the practitioners are very patient and helpful with newcomers. I would recommend this club to anyone and everyone who is interested in martial arts.
This is one of the best place in DFW to train wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. My husband has been coming here for years. They also have an awesome program for the kids. I can't wait for my little ones to train there as well!
I've been training MMA and Jiu Jitsu for about 6 years now and I've been at Star for a little over a year, however I've known several of my teammates at Star and Coach Yousef for the past few years. Throughout the years I've trained at multiple locations with a variety of coaches and class styles but I must say, Star is DEFINITELY the gym to go to if you want great coaching, great jiu jitsu, gi or no gi, awesome mixed martial arts training, fun and technical boxing and an awesome group of fellow passionate individuals!
Jiu Jitsu, mma, and boxing are incredible sports because at the end of the day, YOU decide how good you get and YOU get out of it what you put into it...BUT you still get that awesome camaraderie from having teammates and coaches there to train with and support/motivate one another.
Star Jiu Jitsu in Carrolton is an excellent place for women, men, teens, and children alike, all to train, whether is just a fun hobby you enjoy, or you wish to train to compete...STAR HAS IT ALL!
I HIGHLY recommend stopping by and trying out a few classes! Whether you're brand new looking to try something different, or a seasoned vet on the mat...Come on by and check us out! We'd love to have you :]

I've been in many martial arts schools over the years, and I have not found one yet that is this warm and receiving. I, like many Americans, am overweight and coach Yousef has been very accepting of me and has allowed me to take things slow, but he still challenges me to make sure I'm giving it all I got.
The students are all extremely nice and can be very gentle and will instruct you if you are struggling.
If you want a workout that will get you in the best shape of your life, where you can make friends and improve yourself, you cannot go wrong with Star BJJ.
If you're looking to find a great environment to train, either for fitness, self defense or competition, Coach Yousef can help you reach your goals. Classes here are very inviting, and you get a chance to train with a broad range of students, in addition to the excellent coaches.
Coach Yousef is a highly skilled wrestler and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner with a strong pedigree. He's very approachable, and genuinely cares about the development of his students. In addition to BJJ and Wrestling, you'll find that Striking, MMA and Children's courses are also available, and Star's pricing and packed schedule, you can definitely find a way to fit it into your busy life.
I’ve been training in martial arts since 1986, so I have trained at and visited many martial arts schools over the years. Star is as good as any gym at which I’ve ever trained. There are no attitudes there – just a humble bunch of guys trying to improve themselves and make each other better. Everyone is very friendly, and I believe this outlook flows from the top down: Yousef and Mohsen are two of the classiest guys I’ve ever met. Between Yousef, Mohsen, and the tons of other highly-experienced martial artists training there, the amount of knowledge that you can pick up is staggering. If you live in or around Carrollton, you can’t go wrong with this place.
Star Jiu Jitsu provides great instructors and a great learning environment. Coach Youself and Coach Mohlson care deeply about the progression of their students and find ways to adapt to different individuals style of learning.
Students in this school are very friendly, accomodating, and able to provide a wealth of knowledge as well.
I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in learning Jiu Jitsu.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
I have been to other gyms around the Dallas area and I can tell you that this is the place to be. Coach Yousef & Mohsen aren't no rookies to this. Star is one of the few gyms that have been around long before most gyms in the Dallas area. Also many bjj & mma champions in the area have trained here. The coaches truly not only gives awesome technical instruction they pay attention to all of there students. If you are a beginner, your not alone or a world class competitor your not alone. There are competitors of all levels here. There is also wrestling, boxing and muay thai instructors here that are very good. Star Jiu-Jitsu, both students and instructors give open arms to everyone. Also Star offers two locations which it makes it convenient. I am so glad I found this gym, Since coming here I really feel good about training, I am getting better at this art while making life long friends. Come train here!!!!! :)
Youseff and Mohsen are quite literally world class grapplers. They offer plenty of classes throughout the day that range from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed martial arts, and wrestling.
The instructors are very, very, high level at grappling. The techniques they show are incredibly simple and powerful. Many black and brown belts show up to the gym. Just recently I found out that the Alirezaei brothers were infact on the Iranian national team.
Any martial artist in the area should drop by and attend a class from these Olympic level wrestlers. DEFINITELY worth your time and effort!
