Fantastic experience: Had the opportunity to train here while working in Odessa for the week. My co worker and I were able to catch the 6am class. We attended a no gi class on Tuesday and a gi class on Wednesday. There was a different coach for the gi & no gi class and both were extremely knowledgeable. Great gym if you’re looking to get into jits and live in the area or just visiting.

Fantastic experience: at first i didn’t know what to expect but everyone’s friendly ,supportive and respectful i like that we get to learn something everyday and implement it together with rolling and drills

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, everyone is very nice. Definitely a family friendly gym.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place for all ages. Both my kids love the environment. They teach way more then just Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they give every kid the foundation tools they need to be more confident, more stronger physically, and mentally. The boost that these kids get from leaving every class stays with them throughout their daily lives. Thank you again for having this great opportunity for my kids.

Fantastic experience: This is the place to train. The instructors are knowledgeable and take the time to make sure you understand. The students are all friendly and welcoming. People of all different jiu jitsu and fitness levels. The gym itself is amazing with a ton of mat space. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to start

Fantastic experience: Excelent gym! The coaches and staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. My son has been training for about 5 years and this is his happy place. Thank you coaches for everything you do for our kids.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a couple days. Incredible place , very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I travel for work and visit many brazilian jiu jitsu gyms... been to NY, Wisconsin, Kansas, Kansas city,Oklahoma and all over texas....Vagabond bjj is definitely in my top 5 gyms to train at.. top level bjj, no easy rolls...

Fantastic experience: Amazing martial Artists I had an awesome experience the instructors are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The staff is professional and kind had amazing time I would recommend joining.

Fantastic experience: I totally disagree with American Mades review. My family has also been with Vagabond since tiny spaces. The parking spots went from 5 to 10x’s as many. It’s cramped because so many new people have joined, that’s why you see all the new faces. Their growth shows the quality that Vagabond provides from family friendly to exercise and physical well being. Personally I am happy for the Vagabond team and their growth. Also, if you don’t like the space then donate 1.5 million of your own money to expand it for them. I know I am not the only who shares the same excitement and appreciation for the new space and the new faces, MOST of all, the successes of Vagabond and the team at Vagabond.

Fantastic experience: I've been taking my kids to Jiu-Jitsu for a long time now. And I'm so happy to say its been the best decision I've made. My kids have changed so much, for the good. They love going to training!!! Thank you professor Clay Hantz and the team you've chosen to teach my kids!! And thank you coach Ruben for being an awesome coach.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to train! Coach Ruben and his team are amazing with the kids and adults who train there. Great family atmosphere and you can really tell the coaches truly care about every kid!

Fantastic experience: Tried this gym and BJJ out for the first time while I was in town for work. Overall, I had a great experience and was impressed with how in-depth the instruction was. The members and instructors seemed more welcoming than any other activity I've gone out and tried for the first time. Since, I have come back multiple times during my work trip.

Positive experience: The classes are top notch. We have been connected with Vagabond since they were on 8th st in that small space. Oh how they have grown! I Wish they would have thought of the parents who pay for the school. I will say from the size they went from to now it still feels like the first place. When you get the parents and family and friends in to watch the important Belt Promotions it is cramped once again. You really are on top of each other. No one thought about anything but more mat space i guess when building the new place. Can't get into parking lot is the other dread we have to. WE WERE ALL EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW PLACE UNTIL WE HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME CRAMPED SPACE. You might want to install a microphone and speaker so we can hear you. Your building is Better for some but not all. No idea how they can grow even here already seems maxed on accommodation.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train Brazilian JiuJitsu… They offer beginners classes and Advanced Classes… the kids program is amazing, great coaches your kids will be in great hands

Fantastic experience: I started at Vagabonds in January 2023 and it has been the best decision I’ve made! It truly is like joining a team, the camaraderie and accountability continue to push me to grow physically, mentally and emotionally!

Fantastic experience: We love Vagabond! The coaches and Alma do a great job making everybody feel welcome. Our kids are not just a number, the coaches give them the attention and direction they need and they know all of the kids by name. It has helped our kids confidence levels and we look forward to them learning even more in the future.

Fantastic experience: Super Friendly Group!!! Solid Jujitsu Left in a good mood wanting to return. Student from Gladiators Academy Lafayette Louisiana!

Fantastic experience: Best place in town to train. Ruben is an amazing coach. Great way to get in shape.

Fantastic experience: Great people! The team is great with kids and adults. Always working to make everyone better in BJJ and life. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting to put work in!

Fantastic experience: I have found an outlet to relieve aggression/anxiety, Ju Jitsu. The relationships I’ve created with these amazing people have really been the reason I continue to go. It’s not easy, it’s not for everyone, it really is an elite club that only the tough will survive and I take that to heart with pride. They are my Tribe. And the play list is Bussin’

I signed up immediately and am definitely looking forward to what's to come! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been Training BJJ for about 1.5 years, and I recently had the pleasure of getting to train at Vagabond BJJ in Odessa. My experience there was better than I could have hoped for. They were kind enough to let me drop in while I was in town for work. Professor Rueben is top notch! He taught us some very cool no-gi and gi techniques that I hadn’t ever seen before. The facility was in great condition with a lot of space. The rest of the crew there we’re all very welcoming, super helpful, and very talented. If I lived in this area I would definitely train at Vagabond BJJ.

Fantastic experience: Vagabond has been an amazing experience for my son and I. Don’t be confused Jujitsu is challenging and will push you regardless of your athletic ability, age, or cardio shape but we are all forged in fire and iron sharpens iron.
