The techniques here are different than elsewhere. I've done jiu jitsu for a couple years, and for a long time had trouble with some of the basic techniques. Elsewhere, the guidance for more advanced techniques was detailed, but for the basics was, "Yeah, you just do it." The Caio Terra method is much more methodical, and it worked for my body and proportions (5'8" ~150 lbs). With that step-by-step process, I found that training partners who beat me regularly could barely keep up with the series of attacks I could throw at them. Why? Because I finally understood the small intermediate steps that set up the basic technique. Caio isn't the instructor here, but the instructor is great. I highly recommend this gym!

I have had several interactions with Professor Collin Grayson and his students at seminars and when they have visited my school and am always impressed. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and inviting. Highly recommend you give the school a try.

To put it simply...if you're looking for a top tier Brazilian JiuJitsu school in the DFW area, you will be hard pressed to beat the CTA - Irving academy. Coach Collin is a knowledgeable, charismatic, passionate, detailed instructor who is committed in deriving the very best from his students. The curriculum taught at this school come directly from the expertise of world champion Ciao Terra. I have even had the pleasure to meet and train with Ciao on more than one occasion through CTA - Irving.The team at CTA - Irving is yet another reason to join. Many of my closest friendships began on the mats at CTA - Irving. It seems that everyone there shares a common goal - to help you become the best that you can be!No matter your skill/ability level, I would highly recommend this school if you are serious about learning and mastering the art of BJJ!

Life had different plans for me and BJJ no longer become part of my life, but it was the most fun hobby I have picked up over the years.I explained to Colin I had to quit in the middle of the contract due to health issues and as I was reaching my pocket for the early termination fee, Colin said "don't worry about the fee and stuff, just stay healthy. Maybe we'll golf sometimes" and we said our goodbyes.This was in 2019 and I still remember fondly of how Colin cared so much about someone who was there only for 4 months. Truly a great mentor and a friend.I moved to CA so that golf thing never happened, but I have nothing but praise for this place.I wish you all the best.p.s: when i become super rich, I'll buy a neon sign for your gym~!

I’m a student at Sloth Jiu Jitsu, an affiliate with Caio Terra, and I just wanted to say how much I love training at this facility. I was welcomed with open arms by Professor Collin Grayson, as well as his students. I usually attend the morning class, one of many available times he has on his schedule. And even at 6am in the morning, you get 110% from coach Grayson. If you’re looking to get started, and you’re in the local Irving area, drop in, and I promise you, you won’t regret it. He will treat you like one of his own, and so will his students.
