IJJ Austin
We're the first American location of the Integrao Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school founded in 1995 in Santos, Brazil. IJJ head instructor Gabriel Martins, teaches solid fundamentals, mixed with a newer, more modern style of Jiu Jitsu being seen around the world today. We provide a comfortable and safe training atmosphere for our students with an emphasis on respect and camaraderie as teammates.

Professor Gabriel Martins is a world-class black belt competitor. Over the years, he has trained with some of the best Jiu Jitsu practitioners in the world, and developed a passion for sharing his knowledge with others. Beware of schools that lock students into lengthy contracts with hefty cancellation fees.
Services
This class is geared toward teaching the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to students ages 16 and older. Students of all experience levels are welcome to attend, but the techniques taught will be basic in nature and the focus will be on the details of movement and position to build the foundation for a successful journey through the Jiu Jitsu ranks.
Promotion day for these two Congrats to @serg.valdes and @d_west11 on the very the well deserved new belts! Taking these guys to compete for the first time is something special for me. It always brings me back to my first tournament. And I remember when my professor at the time @caducavinato and @luizao_valente, took me and my teammate @felipemiaki to a juvenile Sao Paulo State tournament.

A little hidden gym (gem) that has a world class instructor, top notch friendly environment, and a total family feel. Everyone knows everyone's name and no giant egos. They really make you feel home, on top of a hard workout and learning good BJJ.

This gym is great and Gabriel is a phenomenal bjj instructor that fosters a productive but still relaxed learning environment. I started here a few months back with no experience in combat sports and one thing that kept me coming back was the inclusivity of everyone at the gym. Jiu jitsu can be intimidating at the start, but Gabriel and the regulars at this gym combat that with genuine patience and understanding as I have always felt welcome and I have never felt discouraged. In addition, Im also very impressed with Gabriel's teaching style. He is always receptive to questions, willing to give

Great rounds and awesome people. Gabriel's instruction is technical and in-depth, yet accessible for all levels of practitioners.

Awesome place to train, very welcoming and great jiu jitsu. My brother and I visited from Seattle and had a great time, would highly recommend to anyone in the Austin area or if you are visiting from out of town. Very friendly and hospitable folks and some really tough rounds. Will definitely be my go-to spot whenever I'm in Austin. Thank you everyone at Integração!

Proud to be part of this gym, the people here and the atmosphere created is what keeps me coming back. Gabe is an awesome instructor and always helps push us to put in the work. Lots of different personalities and generally laid back but lots of tough rolls. Highly recommend especially if you’re visiting from out of town!

Trained at a few places before IJJ and I’m glad I found it. Gabriel is an excellent professor and teacher. The environment in the gym is great and all the people who train there work hard and look out for each other.
Classes are on the smaller size so you will get great instruction and a lot of focus from Gabriel. The gym is super-welcoming to newcomers and we love it when people come to train either for fun or self-defense. Gabriel also constantly seeks out his students and rolls with them so he can gauge where you’re at which is not something you can say about every school. Come train and

Regardless of skill level, experience, or age, everyone in the gym is very welcoming. Gabriel, the instructor, is awesome, and he really takes the time to help each individual out with certain techniques or concepts that one might be struggling with. IJJ has a family-like environment, and I 10/10 recommend this gym to anyone looking for a solid place to train jiu jitsu at an affordable price.

I've been training at IJJ for two years now and I have learned so much from Professor Gabriel Martins. Never in a million years did I ever think that I would be capable of taking up Jiu-Jitsu, let alone be able to perform/compete the way that I do today! IJJ provides a welcoming, and family friendly atmosphere that truly encompasses the belief that Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone! Unlike many gyms, Professor Gabriel teaches not only the Adults class, but ALL of the kids classes as well and is a phenomenal kids coach. He takes the time to cater to all of his students and his instruction is very detailed
