It's pretty simple imo. Carlos Machado. He's a great coach. It's a great training enviroment. He's an awesome BJJ Black Belt.
The other option, is Travis Lutter (one of Carlos' Black Belts). Travis is a great BJJ'er, one of the best Submission Wrestlers in the US and a successfull MMA fighter. Another great choice.

elvis,
any idea how much the rates are in carlos' and travis' school?
thanks again.
Carlos Machado: www.carlosmachado.net
Travis Lutter: www.nextgenbjj.com
There's also Carlos Machado Black Belt Robert Defranco.
He teaches at DFW Gun Club on Mockingbird. The website is dfwgun.com I believe.
Carlos Machado - North Dallas - carlosmachado.net - One of the best instructors in the world. All of the other top instructors are his students or where his students at some point.
Robert DeFranco - Downtown Dallas - dfwgunrange.com - one of Carlos' black belts. Newer gym but several purples and a few blues train out of Rob's. One of the best places to train for the money.
Travis Lutter - (Irving) www.nextgenbjj.com - One of Carlos' black belts. Total badass. Recently beat Ryron Gracie and David Avellan to win Submission Challenge. Also fights MMA.
Orlando Waugh - (Arlington) www.tsdefense.com One of Carlos' black belt. Super technical. Great teacher. Has a very unorthodox game so you get to feel things from a different perspective.
Saekson Janjira - (Plano) www.saeksonmuaythai.com One of the best Muay Thai instructors in the world. Really tough guys who are getting into some MMA. Pete Spratt trains out of his gym.
There are a few other places around but if he is looking for BJJ or Muay Thai these are the guys I would go to.
I'm pretty sure Saekson's is about 70/month

Isn't there a Jacare affiliate there?
What up Rodney?
You are right, I need to be training. Unfortunately, I am extremely lazy.
In Dallas Carlos Machado is the best. He has taught myself, and everyone in the area, and most of Texas in one way or another. You are welcome to try out my Academy in Lewisville, about 15 Minutes north of Dallas on 35E. I teach BJJ, Muay Thai, and NHB. I also have free Weight training, 8 large heavy bags, etc, for around $95.00 a month unlimited training. Thanks Tery Black Belt

JD Shelley, a bjj black belt under Jacare runs NDBJJ. They train out of the same place I believe as Saekson Janjira.
Guy Mezger has a school in dallas....don't know exactly where...but i'm sure someone here knows.
