⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Truly Exceptional Jiujitsu Academy in West Houston Gracie Jiujitsu Houston has been an incredible experience for our family. Professor Jackson is an exceptional instructor with a huge heart and a level of dedication beyond imagination. His passion for teaching real jiujitsu and instilling strong values in both kids and adults truly sets this academy apart. Professor Teddy and Coach Rafael bring the same depth of knowledge and commitment. They teach not only technique and self‑defense, but also confidence, respect, awareness, and how to carry the values of jiujitsu into everyday life. The impact on our children has been remarkable. They’ve become more confident, respectful, sociable, and self‑aware since training here. Our daughter was adjusting to a new school, and the structure and support from the Gracie Houston team played a meaningful role in helping her adapt and get back to performing at her usual level. This is more than a gym—it’s a community that genuinely cares. I highly recommend starting your children in a jiujitsu program, especially at Gracie Jiujitsu Houston. The instruction and environment are truly special.

Stopped by to visit a friend of mine, Teddy, an instructor at this gym. Friendly sparring partners, clean gym, and welcoming atmosphere. Would love to come and visit again. Head professor greeted me when I left and also at the end for a goodbye after training for the day. Stop by and check this school out, I'm sure you'll love it. 🤙 Oss!

Cannot say enough good things about this place. The coaches are AMAZING, the place is impeccable and we have all made truly great friends in here. There is a program for everyone in the family! My son started in the Juniors class, I then joined the Combatives program, my daughter joined the Little Champs group as soon as she turned 5 and now, a few stripes, belts and even certifications later, we are still going strong. Great workout for your mind, body and soul! Absolutely, 110% recommended!

I took one of the Women Empowered self defense classes on their free trial, and I was sooo nervous to start, but the Gracie team made it SO easy!! They emailed me days in advance and answered all of the questions I didn't even know I had, and made me feel so much more comfortable to start. Once I got there everyone was so positive and happy to help out the new members. The other women in the class were friendly and welcoming and were sure to include anyone new. I am not athletic AT ALL and it was still easy to follow along and keep up. It was such a great atmosphere and made me excited to be around such strong women!! Definitely going back for more classes!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Houston. 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! Gracie Jiu Jitsu Houston 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 Gracie Jiu Jitsu Houston 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.
