Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) was originally brought to our country by the Gracie family.
Royce Gracie who proved its effectiveness in the early MMA fights (UFC)).
Classes are perfect for men and women to be introduced to martial arts in a safe environment.
Classes are taught by the highest ranking BJJ black belt in Texarkana and East Texas, Dr. Marc Hagebusch with the help of the 2nd highest ranking BJJ black belt in Texarkana and East Texas, Billy Mullino.
Coach Marc Hagebusch was introduced to BJJ through learning it under Carlos Machado, a cousin of the Gracie family.

Coach Marc took what he learned and added it to his wrestling, kickboxing, jeet kun do, judo, and other combat sports experience and opened Texarkana Jiu Jitsu in 1999, when he moved to Texarkana.
