From the reviews
Carlos Machado is known for his excellent jiu-jitsu. The coaches are very knowledgeable and keep the classes interesting. Professor Brad Scott is one of the best coaches in the business. He genuinely cares that you get better. If you want great Jiu-Jitsu and to really be challenged this is the place you want to go.
I’ve only been training jiu-jitsu for about two years off and on, so I can only speak from the perspective of a beginner white belt. But I can say this: every single person I’ve met at Machado Jiu-Jitsu has been genuinely good, respectful, and encouraging. This gym is extremely accepting.
This is a great gym I highly recommend. I was in the area for work and I went to a few drop in classes and everyone was very friendly, Coach Cory is a great instructor. He takes time to make sure everyone is doing the technique right and he explains everything very well.
This gym is one my absolute favorite places to be. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating to all levels of BJJ. This gym is producing high level competition athletes as well as the weekday warriors who are there to bash bodies. I highly recommend if you are interested in BJJ to come and take a class.
New to muay thai? Start at Machado Method Jiu-Jitsu Carrollton
Machado Method Jiu-Jitsu Carrollton comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Machado Method Jiu-Jitsu Carrollton
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
