Learn Jiu Jitsu the Right Way. Train for the Long Run.
We've built a system designed for efficiency and safety. Whether you can train twice a week or five times, you'll develop real skill—without burning out or getting hurt.
No contract and no commitment. Just come see how we train.
Every Expert Started as a Beginner
Here's what we tell everyone who walks through our door for the first time.
You don't get in shape to do jiu jitsu — jiu jitsu gets you in shape. We have members who started 50+ lbs overweight. Start where you are.
We have members starting in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Jiu jitsu rewards technique over athleticism. Your brain is your greatest asset.
We train smart so you can train for life. Clear parameters, controlled environments, and experienced partners who know how to keep you safe.
Everyone starts at zero — no exceptions. Our community celebrates effort, not skill. You'll be welcomed, not judged.
You Won't Be the Only Woman Here
The most common question we get from women is some version of “will I be the only one there?” No. We have women training at every level, from white belt to black belt.
Rebecca Bodoni, who co-founded Practice with her husband Giancarlo, has been training for 12 years and has made a safe training environment for women a priority from the start. Your training partners will be other women — and men who have been personally vetted by the women who train here.
Beyond that: you set the intensity, you tap whenever you want, and nobody will make it weird. If you’d rather watch a class before you train, that’s free — come any time.
Real Reviews From Real Members
Still on the fence? Here's what adults who walked in as complete beginners say about training at Practice. Straight from Google, updated automatically.
Train Smarter. Progress Faster. Stay Healthy.
We've developed a curriculum built around efficiency and longevity. Every class is designed to maximize your learning while keeping you safe.
Structured Progression
A clear pathway from beginner to advanced. You always know where you are and what comes next.
Safe Training Parameters
Controlled environments with clear rules. We don't leave safety to chance.
Efficient Learning
2x a week here equals 4-5x a week elsewhere. Our systems are built for maximum retention.
Longevity-Focused
We teach you to train for decades, not months. No burnout, no unnecessary wear and tear.
Concept Over Memorization
Understand the "why" behind every technique. Principles stick; random moves don't.
Supportive Environment
Experienced training partners who know how to help you learn safely.
Even 2x a Week Gets Real Results
Our curriculum is designed so that training twice a week at Practice is equivalent to training 4-5 times a week elsewhere. We've built systems for efficiency—so you can make real progress without sacrificing the rest of your life.
Three Levels. One Clear Path.
We teach through a layered progression. Each level builds the skill, understanding, and confidence necessary to advance.
Level 1
Fundamentals
Build the Foundation
Learn the language of jiu jitsu. Essential movements, defensive responsibility, and a clear sense of direction.
Level 2
Intermediate
Expand Your Game
Build systems, not just techniques. Develop connected sequences and deeper strategic understanding.
Level 3
Advanced
Invite Only
For dedicated practitioners ready to refine their game at a higher level.
Fundamentals
Build the Foundation. Learn the Language of Jiu Jitsu.
Level 1 teaches you how to move, stay safe, and problem-solve from any position. We start with the basics because the basics work—and because building the right habits early means faster progress later.
What You'll Learn
- Essential movement patterns (shrimp, bridge, technical stand-up)
- How to stay safe before you escape or attack
- Escapes from every major position
- Guard retention and recovery
- A clear sense of where you are and where you need to go
Timeline
Intermediate
Expand Your Game. Build Systems, Not Just Techniques.
Once the foundation is in place, you start connecting techniques into systems. Level 2 is where you develop the strategic thinking that separates practitioners from hobbyists—all within the same safe, structured environment.
What You'll Learn
- Introduction to leg locks (gi & no-gi)
- Connected passing and guard systems
- Chains linking escapes → sweeps → finishes
- Deeper positional understanding
Advanced
For Those Ready to Refine Their Game
Level 3 is for students who've demonstrated technical consistency, strong training habits, and a commitment to the craft. This is where advanced concepts and deeper positional work happen—still with the same focus on smart, sustainable training.
Not everyone needs Level 3. But for those who want it, the path is clear.

New to Jiu-Jitsu?
Do I need experience?
None. Most members started with zero martial arts background. Start with a Level 1 Fundamentals class, or any All Levels class — both are built for complete beginners.
What should I wear?
Athletic clothes that cover your knees and elbows. We'll provide a loaner gi if needed.
Will I get hurt?
Safety is built into how we train. Work at your own pace. Controlled, structured practice with clear parameters to keep you training for the long run.
How often should I train?
Most members train 2–3 times per week. Our systems are designed for efficiency — 2x a week here equals 4-5x elsewhere. Consistency matters more than frequency.
What ages do you teach?
Kids classes start at age 3. Adult classes are 14+, and we have members in their 50s and 60s training regularly.
World-Class Jiu Jitsu in Georgetown, Texas
Practice Jiu Jitsu exists because we believe jiu-jitsu changes lives.
We've seen it firsthand — in kids who walked in shy and left confident, in adults who found purpose and community after years of searching, in families who now share something meaningful together.
When Giancarlo and Rebecca decided to open an academy, they had one goal: build the kind of place they wish they'd had when they started. A place built on systems designed for efficiency, safety, and longevity.
