Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ, also known as Gracie Jiu Jitsu) is now offered in Texarkana, TX (on Stateline Ave, across the street from Arkanasas (AR)).


 

Submission Grappling (aka Submission Wrestling) is derived from BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), Freestyle Wrestling, Greco Roman Wrestling, Judo, Sambo, and other Grappling Arts. Submission Grappling (aka Submission Wrestling) is offered at Texarkana Jiu Jitsu located in Texarkana, TX (on Stateline Ave, across the street from Arkanasas).

Classes also in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA, a combination of Muay Thai Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; with elements of karate, tae kwon do (TKD), Jeet Kun Do (JKD), Judo, Sambo, and other martial arts) which have become extremely popular with the rise of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and its reality show, the Ultimate Fighter (TUF). These MMA classes are now offered in Texarkana, Texas.

Kettlebell classes are now offered in Texarkana, TX (on Stateline Ave, across the street from Arkanasas (AR)). Kettlebells are a workout tool that can provide strong cardio benefits, improve muscle tone, reduce body fat, improve health, and strengthen the core. Kettlebells have been used for years in Russia for developing athletic power, endurance, strength, and core stability that is so important for sports and your daily life. They can help reduce the likelihood of injury while improving cardio dramatically.

Dr. Marc Hagebusch is a Brazilan Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) black belt and the only Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt in East Texas.

We also offer local (Texarkana on the TX side, but literally across the street from Arkansas (AR)) kids classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) that replace the traditional martial arts classes like karate and tae kwon do (TKD) that have been popular in the past.

You should know that the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is more commonly referred to as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Muay Thai is often referred to as Thai Boxing or kickboxing. Mixed Martial Arts (made popular by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (aka UFC) is more often referred to as MMA.

BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and MMA ((Mixed Martial Arts) composed of Muay Thai Kickboxing, Submission Grappling (made popular by Abu Dhabi, ADCC), Boxing, BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), Karate, TKD (tae kwon do), Judo, Sambo, Wrestling, and other Martial Arts) is now offered in Texarkana, TX (on Stateline Ave, across the street from Arkanasas (AR)).

These classes provide a cardio workout that is more effective than cardio kickboxing classes, circuit training, karate classes, and tae kwon do classes. The martial arts classes offered at Texarkana Jiu Jitsu (Texarkana, TX (on Stateline Ave, across the street from Arkanasas (AR)) in MMA and BJJ provide an exceptional cardio workout that literally blows away traditional cardio kickboxing classes – you will lose body fat, get in shape, reduce stress, develop better focus, improve attention (ADD), improve discipline, and have fun. Cardio kickboxing classes are more limited in the scope of exercises and do not develop the postural or core strength and stability of our BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Gracie Jiu Jitsu), MMA (Mixed Martial Arts – popularized by the UFC), or kettlebell classes.

Our martial arts classes provide a better workout than cardio kickboxing and provide you with real self defense skills that could save your life one day. The classes will cause you to reduce fat, lose weight, gain strength and endurance, improve cardio, improve self defense, improve self confidence and discipline, and reduce stress.

We have students that are successful amateur and professional MMA (Mixed Martial Arts – made popular by the UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championship) fighters. Fighters that have competed and won in kickboxing / muay thai kickboxing, submission grappling / submission wrestling, and BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu aka Gracie Jiu Jitsu).
