Brian Andrews, Owner and Head Instructor at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Stonewall (also known as Gracie Stonewall Jiu Jitsu Academy or associated with Gator Pit BJJ roots), is a dedicated practitioner and teacher of authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Stonewall, Louisiana. Located at 671 Hwy 171 Suite J, Stonewall, LA 71078, the academy specializes in pure Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a strong emphasis on self-defense, awareness, confidence, respect, and the foundational principles passed down from the Gracie family—focusing on leverage, technique, and strategy to enable smaller or weaker individuals to overcome larger opponents effectively.

Brian brings years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to his role, offering classes that prioritize real-world applicability, personal growth, and a supportive training environment for students of all ages and skill levels. The program stays true to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals—emphasizing ground control, submissions, escapes, and positional dominance—without incorporating other martial arts styles or specific striking techniques in class (though training builds skills to handle such scenarios through smart positioning and distance management). Whether you're a beginner seeking self-defense tools, a competitor honing your game, or someone looking to build fitness and discipline, Brian's instruction delivers high-quality, traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in a welcoming community setting just south of Shreveport.
