Third Ward Jiu-Jitsu is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Houston's historic Third Ward neighborhood, founded by Andrew and Sarah Degar with a mission to make self-defense accessible and affordable to those who need it most. The gym is nationally recognized for its welcoming, identity-affirming environment — offering dedicated LGBTQ+-only and women-only classes alongside fundamentals and no-gi BJJ open to all.
