Our Story

Where MPBJJA Began

Master Pete's BJJ Academy opened its doors in Plano in 2011, founded by Coach Master Pete on one simple belief: that martial arts is one of the most powerful ways to build confident, focused, and disciplined people. What began as one coach's mission has grown into a community that has trained more than 541 students across Plano, Allen & Frisco.

We teach authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the right way, for kids as young as four all the way through adults. Our background-checked, experienced coaches do far more than teach striking. They learn every student's name, celebrate every win, and help each person discover exactly what they are capable of, on the mat and off it.

Meet Coach Pete

I started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu when I lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My favorite technique is the hip throw into arm bar. I started teaching in 2011. The academy opened in 2015. We have 300 students in the Plano, Texas area, and we love changing people's lives.

What we stand for

The MPBJJA Standard

A black belt is earned in the small habits, not the big moments.These are the values every MPBJJA class is built on.

Respect

Everything starts with respect: for yourself, for your training partners, and for your coaches. It is the first thing we teach.

Discipline

Showing up, working hard, and following through. The habits built on the mat carry straight into school, work, and home.

Confidence

Our students stand taller, speak up, and meet challenges head-on, with a calm, focused mindset that follows them everywhere.

Community

We are a community, not just a gym. Every age, every background, and every goal is welcome here, and nobody trains alone.
