“I am a Brown Belt from Renzo Gracie NYC and I trained here at Gracie Barra Cypress for a week. I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for a proper place to start or continue with their Jiu-Jitsu journey. Professor Joaquin is very precise with his instructions. Every technique he taught was very detailed and well explained. I would like to thank everyone, especially Coach Luis, for giving me lessons during my week of training.”

“I can't say enough good things about GB Cypress! From the very first class, I could tell that the head instructor, who is also the business owner, has dedicated a majority of his life to mastering his craft by learning from various top-tier instructors. His passion and deep knowledge in both Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai are evident in every session. What really sets this gym apart is how much he values the students' opinions and overall happiness. You can truly feel that he cares about everyone’s progress, making it an incredibly welcoming and encouraging environment. The fact that he leads both the Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai programs makes it seamless to ask questions and explore how to blend techniques effectively, creating a true mixed martial arts experience that enriches you both physically and mentally. Whether you're a beginner or experienced martial artist, GB Cypress offers an outstanding atmosphere for growth and improvement. Highly recommend!”

“We love this school. Professor Joaquin and all of the instructors/coaches are great. They are always positive, helpful, and encouraging of the students. There are many classes to choose from each week to help accommodate our busy schedule. The quality of instruction is very high, and the coach-to-student ratio is excellent. The classes are challenging and expectations are high, but Professor and the coaches are always actively watching and instructing the students. My son looks forward to his classes every week. Highly recommend this school!”

“I found out my friend and co-worker also trains in BJJ. He invited me to train at at GB Cypress. I finally had time to make a class and it was fantastic! The academy is very technical, the professor focused on the technique and safety when applying higher level submissions. I already recommend this place to a friend. Thanks to Professor Joaquinm Garay and the students for the great training.”
