Texarkana Jiu Jitsu

Texarkana Jiu Jitsu has been a mainstay for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Texarkana, Texas since 1999, led by Dr. Marc Hagebusch, a 4th degree black belt under Master Julio Cesar Pereira of the renowned Grappling Fight Team. Coach Marc brings more than three decades of martial arts experience across Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, wrestling, judo, and several traditional striking arts. His teaching draws on years of competitive grappling and a background in chiropractic neurology, giving students a practical and well-informed approach to self-defense and fitness. The instructor team also includes Billy Mullino (2nd degree BJJ black belt), Taylor Lee (1st degree BJJ black belt), James Fryer, Trey Pirkey, and others, each with their own martial arts credentials and years on the mats. The academy organizes its classes by age and experience, with programs for Little Samurai (ages 4–6), kids (7–12), teens (13–17), and adults. Each group follows a progression that balances skill development, fitness, and practical self-defense, with an emphasis on discipline, focus, and confidence. Adult classes provide a mix of technique and live training aimed at both newcomers and experienced grapplers, while younger students are taught fundamentals in a structured format designed to build athleticism and character. The school also runs summer camps, special events, and birthday parties, reflecting its long-standing role in local family life. Texarkana Jiu Jitsu is located on North State Line Avenue and serves students from the wider region, including Nash, Wake Village, Pleasant Grove, and beyond. Parents are encouraged to watch their children’s classes, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. The academy’s longevity and multi-generational student base speak to its commitment to teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a lifelong practice and personal journey.
