Honestly such a great spot. We signed my son up recently and he loves it. The instructors are awesome they have a ton of patience and actually know how to handle a group of energetic kids while keeping it fun. The gym is clean and everyone there is super friendly. Really happy we found this place, definitely recommend checking it out if you're in Pearland. You could also train at the brand new Webster location or any location around the Houston area if you sign up in Pearland.

My entire family have been students under Professor Marcelo and Professor Mariana going on three years. The atmosphere and culture are amazing; extremely welcoming and a warm environment. This has been both a physical and mental journey that has changed our family in many ways and brought us closer together and introduced us to a group of amazing friends. It's a blessing to train here and we look forward to spending as much time on the mats with our friends as possible.

My kids have been training here for 3 years and the quality of the school has only gotten exponentially better every year. The coaches and the Staff are friendly and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door. The confidence jiu jitsu helps you build is unmatched.

Professor Marcelo is one of the best instructors for jiu-jitsu I've seen. I can't recommend this facility enough; his teaching and passion for the sport is world class.

This school is fantastic. The Professor(s) are top-notch, very technical, and encouraging. The higher belts that train here are also super helpful and are happy to share their knowledge and experience. They have created an environment in which you can push yourself as far and as hard as you want, so long as you leave your ego at the door. Professor Marcelo, in particular, is one of the best teachers in the game. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at GB Pearland. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! GB Pearland welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at GB Pearland train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
