Stoic Jiu Jitsu is a family-focused Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy located in the heart of Dripping Springs, Texas. Founded in October 2022 when Marcus and Laci Douthitt purchased JJ Machado Austin, the academy has built a reputation for quality instruction in a welcoming, community-oriented environment. The academy offers comprehensive BJJ training for all ages and skill levels, from kids as young as 4 years old through adults. Their approach emphasizes not just technical skill development, but also discipline, respect, and self-defense as a way of life. With both gi and no-gi programs, students can explore different aspects of grappling and find the training style that suits them best. Head instructor Marcus Douthitt is a first-degree black belt who has been teaching Jiu Jitsu for over 6 years. Born and raised in Charlotte, NC, Marcus has been a Dripping Springs resident since 2016. He began training BJJ in 2013 at Great Grappling in South Carolina and continued his development at JJ Machado Austin. Alongside Marcus, co-owner Laci Douthitt brings her expertise as an instructor, having started her BJJ journey in 2017. Together, they've created a family atmosphere where parents can train alongside their children, fostering bonds that extend beyond the mat through monthly community meetups.

We'll use this to follow up if needed
My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.
That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
