Vera Jiu Jitsu

Vera Jiu Jitsu centers its instruction on a fundamentals-driven curriculum crafted by Professor Adrian Vera, a Carlson Gracie Jr. black belt with a focus on both technical detail and practical application. The academy offers gi-based Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes that emphasize mastering the core positions, escapes, and submissions, aiming to build a solid foundation for practitioners of all ages starting at four years old. The philosophy behind the training stresses personal growth through consistent learning, encouraging students to absorb every lesson whether in competition or daily life. The school operates Monday through Friday from early afternoon until early evening, with a brief session on Saturday mornings. Drop-ins are accepted, allowing visitors to experience the instruction firsthand. Vera Jiu Jitsu’s schedule reflects a commitment to accessibility and steady progression, offering classes that accommodate adults alongside younger students, and maintaining an environment where humility and respect—values echoed by the Carlson Gracie lineage—are integral to the culture. Beyond technique, the academy integrates self-defense principles within its curriculum, aiming to enhance students’ situational awareness and confidence. The facility is wheelchair accessible, supporting a range of practitioners. Assistant Professor Ryan “Sticks” Stickney contributes to the coaching staff, supporting the lead instructor in delivering a curriculum that balances tradition with the needs of a modern martial arts practitioner in Montgomery, Texas.
