Spending time in Houston for the holidays so I decided to drop by Carlson Gracie Houston for some classes. I was a complete stranger but all the students and instructors made me feel very welcome. They have a number of Black Belt and upper belt instructors here along with a variety of other belt ranks. They are a competitive school and have a students/ instructors who ref at Naga tournaments. Would highly recommended Carlson Gracie Houston to anyone looking to start training or take their training to the next level.

Not just a Jiu Jitsu gym.. it’s a family. A place where there are no strangers. Where your team mates hold you accountable on and off the mats, and help you grow into a better person. The instructors are world class and the kids classes second to none.

We were looking for a strong competition team and our daughter recently joined after being at her previous academy for 4.5 years. We are welcomed as a family and treated as family every time we walk through the doors. The Professors are all very knowledgeable and it's evident that they have a passion for teaching the sport that they love. The environment is friendly, welcoming, and it is no secret that the top kids are here.

My 6 year old absolutely loves going to the gym! He asks almost every day if today is the day we go to the gym! Professor Jared and all of the coaches work so great with the kids and so patient while teaching them new techniques. Everyone is nice and welcoming. It’s more than just a gym, it’s a family. Love this place and so glad we joined!!!

We absolutely LOVE this gym. They are very family friendly and are very passionate about teaching. My son loves going with my husband 2-3 days a week and never complains about having to go because he is not only welcomed by the kids but the coaches make each child feel like they are always wanted. They don’t just teach jujitsu skills but also respect, self confidence, control, and focus.

We love this place! My son has been going here for about a year now. The coaches and Professor Jared are amazing and really care about the kids. You can tell everyone is truly vested in teaching these kids! They teach them more than jujitsu too! They teach respect, honor, and responsibility. My son refuses to miss a day! Love it here!
