BJJ in Lewisville

Lewisville anchors the north Denton County side of the DFW metro with three solid BJJ options. The flagship is **Carlson Gracie DFW**, where 3rd-degree black belt Andre Gomes carries a full direct lineage — Carlos Gracie Sr. → Hélio Gracie → Carlson Gracie → Otávio 'Peixotinho' → Álvaro Gonçalves 'Ganso' → Andre Gomes — making it one of the most traceable Carlson lineages in Texas. **Iron Trinity Jiu Jitsu** is a Soul Fighters affiliate with an unusually large coaching bench: head instructor Drew Allen leads a staff of five black belts including Nancy Murphy Bowles (IBJJF World Champion) and Augusta Owens; the program runs gi, no-gi, kids, and women's classes with open mat on Saturdays. **Silva Academy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu** rounds out the city with an exceptionally broad program menu spanning BJJ, wrestling, judo, aikibudo, and sambo — one of the few places in DFW to find formal judo and sambo under the same roof.
