Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu

Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu is a world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in North Austin, Texas, led by three legendary figures in grappling: Gordon Ryan, John Danaher, and Garry Tonon. Established in 2025, Kingsway represents the fifth and most ambitious phase of this team's storied history, which began in a blue basement in New York City in 1994 and evolved through decades of innovation and championship success. The team has produced numerous ADCC World Champions and revolutionized modern grappling through their systematic approach to leg locks, back attacks, and no-gi jiu-jitsu. Gordon Ryan, widely regarded as the greatest no-gi grappler of all time, has won multiple ADCC double gold medals and is the only person in history to win ADCC in three separate weight classes. After retiring from competition, he now focuses on transitioning from champion athlete to world-class coach. John Danaher, a philosophy graduate from Columbia University, has spent three decades refining teaching methodologies and developing innovative approaches that have produced multiple world champions across MMA and grappling. His systematic, principle-based teaching philosophy emphasizes concepts over isolated techniques. Garry Tonon, a five-time EBI champion and accomplished MMA fighter, brings elite-level competition experience and a leg lock-heavy game that helped define modern grappling. Kingsway offers programs for all ages and skill levels, from kids ages 4-8 through professional athletes preparing for championship competition. The gym's teaching methodology focuses on systems-based thinking, structured progression, and deep conceptual understanding rather than random technique collection. Whether students train for self-defense, fitness, or championship competition, they receive world-class instruction grounded in proven methods that have reshaped the sport. The academy welcomes everyone in the Austin and North Austin community, including nearby areas like Cedar Park.
