ATX Martial Arts Featuring Gracie Jiu Jitsu & TaekwonDo Plus

ATX Martial Arts Featuring Gracie Jiu Jitsu & TaekwonDo Plus is guided by Richard Giberson, a black belt under Relson Gracie, who brings a deep understanding of traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the South Austin community. With decades of experience, Giberson emphasizes practical self-defense skills and steady progression, fostering resilience through age-appropriate classes for kids, teens, and adults. The academy’s roots in the area stretch back to 1992, reflecting a long-standing commitment to martial arts education in Austin. Students at ATX Martial Arts train in a structured environment that balances discipline with real-world application. The Gracie Jiu-Jitsu program focuses on foundational techniques before advancing to more complex maneuvers, accommodating practitioners at all levels. Alongside the gi classes, the school integrates Taekwondo, led by a 9th Degree Grandmaster, allowing students to pursue striking and grappling arts within one facility. This dual offering supports diverse training goals, from confidence-building and focus to competitive readiness. The academy operates with a clear schedule that welcomes families and individuals seeking consistent training opportunities. Classes cater to various age groups, including dedicated kids’ sessions, and offer a supportive setting without pressure. Facilities are wheelchair accessible, and the location on Brodie Lane serves South Austin neighborhoods such as Circle C and Sunset Valley. Regular open mats and private lessons complement the core curriculum, providing space for skill refinement and personalized attention.
