Love this place!!! So glad I found Gracie Jiujitsu Houston and made it my home! I trained Jiujitsu…read moremany years ago at a different gym but the training was so unorganized and caused many injuries to students, including myself. I hesitated to go back to jiujitsu because most schools throw inexperienced people in a room and say "go at it"! This leads to a ton of injuries. NOT at GJJ Houston!!! I came to a free seminar at this Gracie Certified Training Center in Houston run by Professor Jackson Fortunato. This gym runs a very structured and very safe school that is backed with an amazing curriculum created by Gracie University. They believe everyone can learn jiujitsu and not have to worry about the "only the strong belong" mentality. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. They have classes for every age and everyone in the family! Come out and try a free 10 day trial at an awesome place to train!

They also celebrated their 13th year anniversary today with food from a chef who also does jujitsu and bakery items from Fun Bakery You can tell this jujitsu location has strong leadership with their large groups at these events and loyalty to Ulpiano to continue striving in jujitsu.

If it wasn't for all the hard work determination and some really strong willed coaches I probably wouldn't be making my way to a brown belt in jujitsu. It's not all about competitions it's also about the camaraderie with my fellow workout partners and supporting each other as we try to level up If you're looking for a new place to train to get better and stronger or just to try some self-defense jujitsu or kickboxing moves, I highly recommend trying out Gracie Barra Westchase.

I started BJJ in January, so I'm pretty new to all of this. What made my experience so special from…read morethe beginning was Professor Ulpiano. He always had a smile, always greeted me warmly, and from day one, I genuinely felt like I belonged. The tagline is "jiu-jitsu for everyone," and he truly lived that out. Sadly, he has passed, and I wanted to leave something here as a testament to who he was as a professor. His passion and dedication always showed. He once said, "The best professor is a professor that's happy to be there," and you felt that every single time he taught. If you're thinking about trying something new or stepping outside your comfort zone, I really do recommend this place. Professor Ulpiano made it more than a gym. He made it a community.

Professor Ulpiano is of the utmost professional and an amazing instructor. They offer many classes for those of you with a busy schedule. Come in and ask for him for a free session. He is the best.

This happened a couple years ago, so I can't speak to how things are handled there now. But I had a…read morenegative experience trying to contact the Westchase flagship location about a serious concern connected to my experience at another affiliated location. The concern involved safety, conduct, and how issues involving staff or members were being handled. I made four separate calls to four different people, was unable to get a hold of anyone, left my callback information, and explained generally that I was trying to raise a serious concern that I believed warranted awareness or oversight. I did not receive a callback or meaningful follow-up. I am not reviewing any one person individually. My concern is that I attempted to raise a serious issue through multiple channels connected to the flagship location and was met with silence. With time, what stands out to me most is not only the original situation, but the lack of meaningful follow-up when I tried to raise it through what I understood to be appropriate channels. That kind of non-response leaves things unresolved. It also leaves the person who raised the concern carrying the consequences alone. In a martial arts environment, especially one involving physical training and close contact, trust and safety depend not only on what happens on the mat, but also on whether concerns can be raised and handled responsibly. From my experience at the time, I did not feel there was a reliable process for escalation, accountability, or member support.

Team Osiris is the best gym for Muay Thai and BJJ!…read more I've been a Muay Thai student for over a year now and have loved every second of it. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, coach Harley has a ton of knowledge and tricks to teach that you won't learn at most other gyms, and does an incredible job making class technical, entertaining, and engaging. Professor Robert also has a wealth of knowledge and does an incredible job teaching jiujitsu. He's able to breakdown techniques masterfully for even the newest students and is great at answering questions. This gym's got an awesome community with the most balanced mix of guys and girls I've ever seen in a martial arts school. It's got welcoming, helpful, and fun people that I seriously feel lucky to train with. 10/10 recommend.
