From the reviews
I have been training BJJ for over 13 years, and martial arts even longer. I’ve trained at academies around the world, and Progresso is one of the best academies I’ve been fortunate to call home. Professor Alex, Davi and Carol are outstanding instructors, in addition to being world class competitors.
I started training at Progresso Jiu Jitsu Plano in July 2022, just before medical school, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the world-class training I’ve received in my hometown. Under the guidance of incredible professors, I earned my blue belt in February 2024, and the journey has been nothing short of amazing.
Progresso BJJ of Plano has been an incredible experience for our family. The kids' class is exceptionally well-run, and my 3-year-old absolutely loves attending. The instructors are not only highly skilled and professional, but also incredibly patient and attentive with each child.
Was in Town for a few days. Dropped in for the No Gi class. Had excellent rolls with the other students. I highly recommend and I will be back next time I’m in town.
New to muay thai? Start at Progresso Jiu Jitsu Plano - Martial Arts & Self-Defense
Progresso Jiu Jitsu Plano - Martial Arts & Self-Defense 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 Progresso Jiu Jitsu Plano - Martial Arts & Self-Defense
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.
