We exist to SEE LIVES TRANSFORMED FOR GOD’s Glory through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

We're not here to claim superiority over others—we celebrate our fellow schools and their victories. What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to using BJJ as God's tool for character transformation. We believe that true strength comes from surrender to His plan, and we've witnessed countless lives changed as students discover that honor, respect, and humility matter more than any victory on the mat. This isn't just martial arts training; it's life training where the gentle art becomes a pathway to becoming who God created you to be.

The Double Five BJJ Tyler Tenets

Owner and Head Instructor

Professor Rock

A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with over 10 years of experience, Professor Rock leads with the same humble heart that brought him here—a gentle shepherd who disciples students through their transformation, champions their victories, and walks alongside them in their struggles. But step on the mat with him, and you'll quickly discover that his meekness is not weakness—it's the quiet strength of a warrior who knows exactly who he is and Whose he is.

How Double Five BJJ Tyler was Born

When Professor Rock packed up his life in California and moved to Tyler, Texas, he had no idea God was writing a story far bigger than he could imagine. For years, he faithfully served as a coach while making the drive to train at Double Five Dallas, pouring into others without any agenda of his own. But God was preparing him in the waiting—building his character, sharpening his skills, and surrounding him with a community that would soon become the foundation of something extraordinary. Through a miraculous series of divine appointments and open doors that could only be explained by faith, Double Five BJJ Tyler opened its doors on September 1st. What started as one man's obedience became a thriving community where faith meets the mat, and lives are transformed through the gentle art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
