Alex Martins Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Alex Martins Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dallas centers its program on structured gi training for adults and children, alongside open mat sessions and beginner instruction. The academy maintains a clear focus on building strong fundamentals, with dedicated classes for kids and adults, and a curriculum that emphasizes both self-defense and technical progression. There is also a Little Warriors program introducing three-year-olds to BJJ basics, as well as youth no-gi grappling and women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, reflecting a broad commitment to skill-building across age groups and experience levels. The academy is led by Professor Alex Martins, a fifth-degree black belt with roots in Manaus, Brazil, where he began his training in 1997 under Junior Cardoso. Martins’ longstanding presence on the mats and direct Brazilian lineage shape the academy’s coaching style and daily instruction. Unlike schools built around a rotating staff or national brand, this is a school where the head instructor’s name, background, and teaching philosophy are woven into every class. Students at the Oak Cliff location can expect hands-on guidance from Martins and his team, with practical offerings that include private instruction, strength and conditioning, and Muay Thai for adults. The academy welcomes drop-ins for open mat and regular classes, and its wheelchair-accessible facility makes training accessible to a wide range of students from Dallas and the surrounding area.
