You will notice in the video he not once mentions Tae Kwon Do / Taekwondo or karate but alludes to them in the end because they are not effective as a true self defense in real world applications. This is coming from someone who made a career out of learning effective arts out of necessity for survival.
It is an unfortunate truth that the statistics of child and teen abuse is growing at a frightening pace. 82% of the approximately 63,000 victims a year that are under the age of 18 are female. Females between the ages of 16 and 19 are four times as likely to be victims of assault. With statistics like that, we want to help prepare your daughters for the likelihood of an attack.
AJ has grown so much in just 7 months of training at 316BJJ. He started off being shy, embarrassed easily, and not confident in his physical abilities. Now he is more outgoing and has confidence in himself. After his first tournament, he walked onto the mat at 316BJJ with a little "swag" in his step!"
It is a sad fact that one in four women will be a victim of abuse in America today and even in our relatively small communities of Rockwall, Royse city, Greenville, Caddo Mills, Wylie, Lavon, Rowlett, Heath and surrounding cities and counties in Texas.
We here at 316 Gracie style Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu feel obligated to give back to our Texas communities in Rockwall and Hunt Counties by helping arm our women with the ability to protect themselves which is why we are so passionate about women's self defense.Our training combines basic self-defense with a desire to see women grow in their confidence to defend themselves.

Jiu Jitsu helps kids learn self-defense. In most school districts, if a child is being bullied and retaliates through a use of physical force they are punished as harshly as the bully. Often this involves suspension or alternative school. An unfair system, but one that our children have to live with.

Good teachers and classmates, but with all the kids that are waiting it’s hard for the kids in class to fully concentrate. They are running around and yelling and jumping on the benches. Would be much better if there was a separate playroom for them so the students in the class to have no distractions!

Started training BJJ with 316 about 6 months ago, and it's the best decision I've made in years.
These guys have created an environment that feels safe, supportive, and makes me feel like it's okay to be vulnerable, ask questions, struggle (and fail), and always continue to get better. Every coach in the gym is humble, respectful, and genuinely wants to help you improve yourself. It's no overstatement to say that 316BJJ has helped me be a better man in all aspects of my life, both on the mats and off.
If you're like me and you've always wanted to join a gym, but are intimidated by the sport,

Great for kids, our sons have been here for a little over a month. Our oldest was wrestling for the last 15 months and we have switched to BJJ for them. They have both taken to it well and enjoying the sport of BJJ. The coaching staff are all very knowledgeable and patient. Only drawbacks are the seating area is very loud and can be overcrowded during the summer sessions. The program as a whole is very professionally run and we are happy so far with the practices.

We have been part of the 316 family for 2 years now and about to add our third kid to the program. Their dedication to teaching these kids discipline, respect, and self defense goes above and beyond. The kids confidence will soar and they learn that their self determination will take them far. Great skills learned and anti-bullying lessons are an added bonus.

My experience with 316 BJJ was absolutely wonderful. It was my first foray into BJJ and I gotta say I couldn't have found a more wonderful place to start my journey. The facility is bright, clean, and in really good shape. The instructors are top notch and are good at pairing people up based on skill level and size etc. No one I sparred with here was "spazzy" or during anything out of line. They treat you like a family here and have lots of hang outs and get together and it truly feels like a community. Due to moving and a job change I had to move on but if you're on the fence about putting your

I cannot adequately express with words how incredible 316 BJJ is. Our son has been training with them and when I have time, I do as well. Scott, Mike, Tori and their team are top notch instructors and really work with the kids on a personal level. Aside from teaching jiu jitsu, they are instilling discipline and a sense of pride in their students. The difference we have seen in our son since he has been training is astounding. Thank you so much!
Children and adults also obtain tangible skills such as anti-bully techniques, self defense techniques and physical fitness.

Great training for the whole family. My two sons (5 and 9) and I started training here 3 months ago. I wanted the boys to get into something that would help instill respect, discipline and mental toughness and we found that and more. Professor Country, Big Mike and Verb are all great with the kids. They demand maximum effort from the kids yet still make the classes fun.
Training for adults is also great. There are no big egos in the gym and it feels like a family. I’m looking forward to our BJJ progression with the 316 BJJ crew.

I have been taking my son since he was four years old. We have been going for about a year now. The gym is a great place for kids to learn not only Jiu Jitsu but how to be respectful boys and girls. All the instructors are good with the kids and want them to succeed in the gym and in life. Being a faith based gym was one of the reasons I initially chose this gym. Religion is not crammed down your throat but the kids are taught right from wrong and to do the right thing. My son enjoys his time there and it is a great outlet for him to exercise and be a boy. It is my intention that this training
