At Mavericks Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we believe that Jiu-Jitsu goes beyond the mats—it’s a mindset, a daily practice, and a way of life. Our mission is to build a community where everyone, regardless of age, experience, or physical condition, finds confidence, discipline, and a sense of belonging through training.

At our academy, we’ve created a space where the passion for Jiu-Jitsu comes alive in every class — a space built on respect, effort, and the constant pursuit of self-improvement.
Our students train under dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors who don’t just demonstrate techniques — they explain the how and the why behind every movement.
From posture to execution, we focus on building strong foundations that prevent injuries and lead to meaningful, lasting progress.
At Mavericks, you’re never left wondering what to do next. We walk beside you, providing clear guidance and consistent support — so you can grow with purpose, confidence, and clarity.
At Mavericks BJJ, we believe in three fundamental pillars:
It’s not just about self-defense or winning matches, but about building confidence, self-control, and discipline.
Every student who steps onto our mats finds an environment of respect, support, and shared learning.
Whether it’s your first day or you’ve been training for years, there is always a new goal to reach at Mavericks.
Our academy provides quality instruction in both in-person and online formats, guided by knowledgeable Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors who focus on technique, safety, and helping students grow at their own pace.
Train with us at our Laredo location in a welcoming, supportive setting, or log into our online platform to learn from home with the same reliable instruction and structured lessons.
