78 BJJ Academies in Austin.

Austin's BJJ scene grew up alongside the city's broader explosion — by the time the tech-and-MMA boom hit in the mid-2010s, the gyms had already laid the foundation. Now there's a serious cluster of high-level rooms within a 20-minute drive of downtown.

The 10th Planet system has a heavy presence here. Curtis Hembroff founded 10th Planet Austin (10PATX) in 2015 — Curtis is a 2nd-degree black belt under Eddie Bravo, came to Texas from Alaska with a 5-0 pro MMA record, and built the gym into the flagship of a Texas cluster (he later founded 10th Planet San Antonio in 2018 and 10th Planet Round Rock in 2020). Ben Eddy (also a 2nd-degree black belt under Eddie Bravo) teaches at 10PATX and is well-known in the system for his Rubber Guard innovations, including a Guillotine variation called the "Hindulotine" he's hit at Combat Jiu Jitsu Worlds, the Eddie Bravo Invitational, and ADCC Trials.

Gracie Humaitá Austin runs the gi-and-self-defense side. Head instructor Paulo "Coelho" Brandão is a 6th-degree black belt and a BJJ World Champion — the room emphasizes traditional Gracie Humaitá fundamentals, with a white-or-royal-blue gi policy and free beginner classes. Drop-in is $30 and gi rental $10 if you didn't pack one. The vibe is technical, family-style, and friendly to visitors.

What to expect on the mat: rooms cover the whole spectrum — gi-heavy traditionalist sides at the Humaitá-style rooms, no-gi-heavy Eddie Bravo rooms across 10P Austin / Round Rock / San Antonio, and a healthy independent layer beyond those flagship names. Texas state competitions are active year-round.

Practical tips: drop-in pricing varies by gym — ask directly. Austin summers are intense (June–September often hits 100°F+), so most gyms are heavily AC'd. Best months are roughly October–April. The city is car-dependent — gym choice will probably be driven by where you're staying more than anything else. South Austin, North Austin, and the Round Rock corridor each have their own clusters.
