BUILT FOR
GONZALES
Apache Warrior Academy is Gonzales County's home for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We're building something this community has never had — a space where kids learn discipline and confidence, where adults push past their limits, and where everyone grows stronger together.
Founded by a U.S. Air Force veteran with over 5 years of teaching experience across the globe, AWA brings world-class instruction to a small-town setting. Our rotating instructor model exposes students to diverse techniques and keeps training fresh.
We train at Diamond Gymnastics, 801 Oil Patch Ln, Gonzales, TX — and we're just getting started.
OUR VALUES
Discipline
BJJ demands consistency. Every class builds the habit of showing up, working hard, and respecting the process — on the mats and everywhere else.
Community
Gonzales County deserves a place like this. AWA exists to give this community access to training that builds character alongside technique.
Service
Our roots are military. We believe in serving others — which is why we offer discounts for first responders and prioritize building the next generation.
Growth
Nobody walks onto the mat already knowing everything. Progress is the point. We meet every student where they are and push them forward.
Respect
On the mats, everyone taps. Everyone struggles. That shared experience builds genuine respect between students regardless of age, size, or experience.
Honesty
BJJ doesn't let you fake it. You learn quickly what works and what doesn't. That honesty transfers — our students carry it off the mats too.
