Staff and students at Still Waters Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are very knowledgeable and welcoming to new students. In my case, I am someone who has already had training and perhaps developed some bad habits from other gyms and fell out of practice. The level of patience and training provided by professor Alex Lane is very personable and detailed so that you know you arent just another number. You can tell the BJJ training he provides is his passion, and the enthusiasm to share his knowledge makes you excited to learn. The instruction itself is thorough and technical. They have several flexible membership options and an EXTREMELY generous trial period compared to other gyms. The only way you may have a bad experience would be to not show up.

My daughter really enjoys coming here to train. All the other students are helpful and encouraging. The gym facilities are all new and the location is conveniently located in town. Alex Lane is a great teacher and practitioner of BJJ. Come help your kids learn discipline, confidence, humility, and real world self-defense.

Still water Bjj has done amazing job with my son. It all started off with just a trial week and he fell in love with on the first day. I have seen him transform from a shy child who struggled speaking to and outspoken confident child. I am so impressed on how my son has learn so much bjj skills. But I’m so proud on my son confidence growth and his joy for Jiu Jitsu.Professor Alex is a great instructor that takes the time to break down the techniques and ensures that kid understands. He has so much patience with the kids. He also make his class so fun for the kids and they enjoy it.

Easily one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at! Super friendly and inviting atmosphere, Alex has a great teaching style for both experienced and new practitioners, and the facilities are always clean and well maintained. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking to start or continue your jiu jitsu journey!

My daughter has a hard time making friends and was often bullied at school because of her dyslexia, often called stupid by classmates. Since starting at Still Water she has had a huge increase in self confidence and self control. That has spilled into her everyday life. Her work at school and her reading coaching has grown by leaps and bounds because she has learned to not give up and persevere through hardship She has friends in class that she looks forward to seeing and has also had improved behavior at home. She has learned to take control of herself and it shows. Coach Sienna and Professor Alex are amazing role models and show these kids every day what hard work and drive can do for you. If you are on the fence give this gym a try, 100% worth it.

Stillwater’s BJJ is the best Jiu Jitsu school around. Both my son and I train here and love it. My son is 6 years old, and I’ve never come across a professor that is so patient and calm with the younger kids. A lot of other schools just ignore the wild kids not paying attention or disrupting the class. Somehow Professor Alex is able to keep all the kids focused and very respectful through the entire class all while staying calm and not raising his voice, which is amazing. I train in the adult’s class and love how technical professor Alex is. He has a way of breaking down every technique to where no one is left behind. Also everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming there. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Still Waters Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Self DefenseProfessor: Alex LaneAs parents, we are so excited to be a part of the family at Still Waters BJJ. My son, Brett, has never shown such enthusiasm as he has since starting at BJJ. He has shown improvement at school and is participating more in class. His self-esteem escalated, he is actually stepping awayfrom electronics and has more energy to go outside, which has improved his physical fitness and coordination. He is helpful at home and has a better all-around attitude. The confidence he has been displaying is phenomenal and I truly believe it is because of Professor Alex Lane. Professor Alex has exhibited such patience, eagerness, and shows passion when working with all the children, no matter their levels. Also with first time adults, like me. I felt inspired just watching BJJ to strive for a better me physically and mentally. That is why I became part of thefamily as well. Give it a try, nothing to lose. Staff and Students are very informed and helpful. It feels like you are walking into your family’s home. Thank you, Still Waters BJJ for the dedication!

I started BJJ when I was 10 years old. I played baseball, football, and my favorite was basketball. I was doing ok in school but was not motivated. I tried a class at another school that I wont mention and loved the art. My dad did not really like the school or teacher. He began looking for a school we could attend. Once we found this place, WOW my grades changed and I went from being an average student to making 100% on my STARR test in fifth grade. My counselors and my parents were so overwhelmed and the only thing that was different is I started BJJ. I fell in love from the beginning. I am almost 14 now and know that Jiu Jitsu has taught me to not be afraid and to have confidence in myself not only on the mat but always. My dad always reminds me of a day I came home and was working on my homework and started to feel overwhelmed like I could not understand what was going on. I really got frustrated, mad, upset and could not complete this assignment-I was having a meltdown. My dad encouraged me to set it down and go to class and come home and work on it after. Well this day proved to me that Jiu Jitsu was more than just martial arts or exercise because after my class my dad noticed I was skipping, laughing, and having fun on the way home and I picked up my homework and finished it very quickly as if nothing was hard. From this day on I knew that Jiu Jitsu was an art i wanted learn better. Not to mention we have such awesome team mates who are always helping you succeed and our professor is the best. He is full of knowledge and always pushes us past our limits so we can grow and learn the never ending art of Jiu Jitsu. We are also affiliated with Revolution Team which gives our team a spread throughout the region. I hope you will read this review and come take the trial class and see for yourself how much Jiu Jitsu and the Still Waters family can change your life.

I originally looked into jiu jitsu for my 7 year old son. I wanted him to get into something with some fitness, and I heard that jiu jitsu is also great for improving respect, self control, focus, and coordination. He immediately loved it, and surprisingly, my 11 year old daughter wanted to try it too. She also loved it after only one class. They were so excited to continue, and we have been going ever since! Professor Alex is phenomenal with the kids and is very patient with them. They arent afraid to try new things, and he helps encourage them to do their best as they are learning. I would highly recommend Still Waters!

For years, I looked for something that I could do with my children that would improve our health and physical fitness. Jiu Jitsu has been great for them physically and mentally. Preparing for competitions taught my 11 year old son to set goals and stick with his plan. My 9 year old daughter loves getting to make new friends. She does not like physical activity, but she loves Jiu Jitsu.At 42 years old, Jiu Jitsu helped me to lose 25 pounds and 6 inches from my waist ( went from pants size 12 to size 4). Now I am in what is probably the best shape of my life.Now, as the owner at Still Waters Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I get to share my love of this sport with other individuals and families by bringing great Jiu Jitsu to Alvin with a family friendly, positive, professional environment.Give us a call to see how Jiu Jitsu can change YOUR life

When I tell people that I train Brazilian jiu jitsu and they ask where, I am always so proud to say that I do train at stillwaters BECAUSE:A) everyone there IS family. I never would have met any of these people or made the connections I have because of this sport.B) I have always felt welcomed and have been able to go outside of my comfort zone because of how encouraging everyone isC) my teammates genuinely want to help better others and not just themselvesD) so grateful to have Alex Lane as the coach/professor. Very encouraging and knows how to break something down for you if arent getting it. He knows how to push you without putting you down. And is a well respected black belt in the jiu jitsu community.HIGHLY recommended, you get what you pay for and quality is what you get here undoubtedly

We used to attend a different gym that ended up closing its doors. Still waters BJJ stepped up to fill a need for the displaced students and has been such a blessing. My son has adhd and benefits greatly from the athletic outlet but also the self discipline and focus he learns and needs. Coach Alex is amazing with the kids!

Great place, great environment amazing people. I cant say enough good things about the people I train with, everyone is so supportive I love that I can bring my daughter to watch us train and not get any looks if she asks me for something and I have to tend to her. Everyone is welcoming and the level of jiu jitsu is outstanding.

Ive been training jiu jitsu for about a year now, and its been amazing. When I started I just wanting to lose weight and get into shape. Now, Im down about 50 pounds and actually LOOK FORWARD to Mondays, because I get to train. I had no idea it would be as fun or rewarding as it is. The atmosphere at Still Waters is very friendly and welcoming. They know its not east to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. If you are thinking about trying jiujitsu for the first time, or you just want to take your game to the next level, I would highly recommend Still Waters Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I started Jiu Jitsu at 50 years old and immediately fell in love with it. I trained for 3 years before life got in the way and stayed away a couple of years. A year ago I started again and again fell in love with the art. It is true, you are never too old to start Jiu Jitsu.
