I met Vince, Bill, and John when I was training over at B Team and when they told me they were opening a gym together on the east side of Austin I was all in. I already knew Vince was an incredible coach with a ton of knowledge and experience in the sport, and it has been awesome getting to know Bill and John better as well since East Austin Jiu Jitsu Parlor opened. I’ve also had the pleasure of getting to know the other owners Zane and Sean over the past year. This gym is an incredible facility with the best mat space I’ve ever trained on along with an awesome weight room and even a steam room. What really makes this gym special though is the people. The Jiu Jitsu coaching from Vince, Bill, John and Zane is top tier and Sean is the best physical therapist and strength coach I’ve ever worked with. Together they have created a community around this gym that is welcoming, friendly, and truly full of people who want to see each other becom
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ East Austin Jiu Jitsu Parlor is a top-tier facility. The weightlifting area is well equipped, the jiu jitsu space is clean and spacious, and the showers plus multiple changing rooms make training super convenient. The hospitality is outstanding, everyone is welcoming and professional, which makes it an awesome environment to train in. Instruction is high level and well structured, perfect for both beginners just getting started and advanced practitioners looking to sharpen their skills. Highly recommend this gym to anyone serious about training. Definitely check out Coach Vince Class for those sharp skills !
I’m visiting from out of town and wanted to get some training in. I’m so glad I found this place. Right when I walked in, Vince came up and introduced himself, got me signed up, and gave me a complete tour of the facility which had everything you could need from multiple private dressing rooms, private showers, and private restrooms to a steam room, weight training area, laundry service, and a large mat space upstairs. The facility has a unique style to it and is clean and well maintained. The instruction was top notch as well. I went to the 6pm no gi class. The material was explained really well and fun to learn. Everybody in the class was extremely welcoming and made me feel like I trained there regularly. Whenever I am in Austin, this is where I’ll be going to train
Hands down the best place to train jiu-jitsu in Texas. The vibe is unbeatable, welcoming, focused, and full of people who genuinely want to improve. The coaching is top-tier, modern, and thoughtful. You can tell the instructors care about how you learn, not just how you roll. The gym itself is incredible. It is spotless with clean showers, a steam room that is always on point, and small touches that make a big difference, like cold brew on tap and beer after training. It feels more like a community than a gym. The strength and conditioning program ties it all together. It is built around real, science-backed training, not just random workouts.
This is one of the best gyms in Austin if not the world. I’ve been a martial artist in Austin for over a dozen years and have trained across the broader martial arts community as well. I met a couple of the owners around town back when they were just dreaming this place up, and it’s no surprise it’s become such a standout hub of the martial arts community and just a straight-up great place to be. The Olympic lifting setup is superb, the location can’t be beat, and the jiu-jitsu instruction is of the highest level. The Olympic lifting training and classes are just as high quality. So many of my closest friends started training here that I finally had to stop by and then I signed up immediately. The atmosphere is excellent, and I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself. 5 out of 5 stars.
I reached out to East Austin Jiujitsu Parlor ahead of time to ask about dropping in for a couple of days while I was in town. Bill responded promptly and let me know I was welcome to stop by, and they’d set me up with a free membership for those days once I arrived. On my first day, I got there a few minutes early to check in and check out the facility. Bill greeted me and confirmed that everything was good to go since I had already created my profile earlier in the day (which you can also do once you arrive, but I found the link on their site beforehand). The space was awesome—cool merch, clean bathrooms and showers, separate dressing rooms (a nice plus), and even a sauna. The first class was taught by Vince and was really informative. He made sure to come around a few times, helping me through some of the techniques and trouble spots I was working on. The second class I attended was taught by Bill, and I really liked his approach—brea
