Our Story

Where MPBJJA Began

Maser Pete's Martial Arts Academy opened its doors in Plano in 2010, founded by Coach Master Pete on one simple belief: that martial arts is one of the most powerful ways to build confident, focused, and disciplined people. What began as one coach's mission has grown into a community that has trained more than 1,255 students across Plano, Northdale, Lutz & Carrollwood.

We teach authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the right way, for kids as young as four all the way through adults. Our background-checked, experienced coaches do far more than teach striking. They learn every student's name, celebrate every win, and help each person discover exactly what they are capable of, on the mat and off it.

Meet Coach Pete

Hi, I'm Pete Mitchell, owner of Maser Pete's Martial Arts Academy in Plano. I learned to fight growing up on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and that experience sparked a lifelong love of martial arts.

Today, my greatest joy is helping kids take their training to the next level and become bully-proof, confident, and strong both in and out of the academy.

Outside of teaching, I'm a family man through and through. You'll usually find me mowing the yard, enjoying Texas barbecue, geeking out over Star Wars, or adding to my suppressor collection.

I left California behind for Texas, and I've never looked back - this is home now, for my family and for our school.

What we stand for

The MPBJJA Standard

A black belt is earned in the small habits, not the big moments.These are the values every MPBJJA class is built on.

Respect

Everything starts with respect: for yourself, for your training partners, and for your coaches. It is the first thing we teach.

Discipline

Showing up, working hard, and following through. The habits built on the mat carry straight into school, work, and home.

Confidence

Our students stand taller, speak up, and meet challenges head-on, with a calm, focused mindset that follows them everywhere.

Community

We are a community, not just a gym. Every age, every background, and every goal is welcome here, and nobody trains alone.
