An excellent place to learn martial arts! My father and I have been attending this school some time and we both enjoy it. Not only is Mr. Machado a world-class grappler, but he is also a great teacher with a great philosophy- taking the time to make sure his students understand some of the very complicated and subtle techniques required in the practice of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He really makes an effort to know all of his students names including the new ones, which I think is very commendable considering the amount of students who frequent the school. The regular black belts that help him teach all do an excellent job, and they are all more than willing to help anyone learn the techniques properly. In fact, The school in general has this same philosophy of helping lower belts and beginners learn, and they all seem happy to share their knowledge. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in pursuing an education martial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Glad I found Carlos Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! This place was a game changer for me, it helped instill more discipline and drive in me. Great guys here. Great atmosphere. Remember, leave your ego at the Door!

When I began looking for jiu jitsu schools in Dallas, I went around to a few different academies to get a flavor of the options available. However, whenever I asked where the professors themselves would train, the answer was always the same - "Machado". The reputation of the academy is impeccable, but they certainly don't rest on their laurels. Carlos is in nearly everyday, personally teaching the classes and making a point to make himself a part of his students lives, both on and off the mat. While the training is top-notch, it is the students that make RCJ Machado a vibrant and enjoyable experience. Coming from all walks of life, everyone from white belt to black is able and willing to help with one's progress in mastering the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). If you are seeking BJJ training within DFW, there is really only one choice - RCJ Machado.

World class training from world class trainers. For fitness, self-defense or just self confidence...RCJ Jiu Jitsu...accept no substitutes

The RJC Machado BJJ school offers the best training in the Dallas area. I recently moved to the area and spent a great deal of time researching the local BJJ schools. I came from an elite school with a high level of training and was looking for the same to fill that void. There is a great range of skill levels that offer a great opportunity to challenge and be challenged. Master Machado does a phenominal job of teaching and encouraging his students to push themselves as a BJJ practitioner.

I have trained with Carlos Machado for over 10 years. Unfortunately, due to my work/travel schedule, I was unable to train with him on a consistent basis. When in town, Carlos would always welcome me as a member of his family. I have trained at many other Jiu-Jitsu schools throughout the world and I have never found an environment that compares to Carlos Machado's school. Master Carlos lives out the moto, leave your ego at the door, and provides an environment that is safe, humble, and physically challenging. Eddie Saenz

I have trained with Carlos Machado for over 3 years. I appreciate the safe and the humble environment. The moto, leave your ego at the door, is consistently seen and practiced at the gym. The detail oriented instruction is superior to any other school have attended. Isaac Pena

just moved to the area, and I searched all over for a good jiu-jitsu school and I came across Carlos Machado school with doing jiu jitsu well over 7 years from the north east I have aways heard of the machados and I decided why take lessions from a black belt or a instructor that came from the Machad's cause they all came from the Carlos Machado!!!!! Been here for well over 3 months and it's the best choice I have made!!!!!!!!!

I've been training with Mr. Machado for 8 years now. The instructors here are great. The training atmosphere is friendly. I highly recommend it for women and children.

Great place to train! Learn from the Best! CARLOS MACHADO!!!!

I love this respectful the atmosphere is here and how all the instructors look out for your safety as well as helping you improve in all area's - they help you become a better version of you instead of clones of themselves.

I have trained at other gyms in the past, but nothing compares to the patience and superior technique that has been shown to me at RCJ BJJ. This is top level training in a centralized Dallas location. My game has completely evolved since I joined. Ossss...

I have trained in many martial arts and at many academies over my lifetime. There is nothing more powerfully transformative to one's life than Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Further I'm persuaded that there is no better academy than RCJ Machado. I am utterly satisfied and will continue on this journey with Carlos Machado as my guide. I encourage those who want a knowledge oriented, level-headed, cerebral approach to life and self defense to join me. Sincerely, Ajamu C. Loving, Ph. D.

I have always been blessed with wonderful training partner and teachers, and Machados school in Farmer's Branch under head teacher Carlos Machado is no exception. You will find students dissecting techniques in the corner, others training in full competition mode getting ready for the next tournament and everything in between. The comraderie amongst the men provides a wonderful training atmosphere.
