Renzo Gracie Houston

“RGH is a great place and has been amazing for my son and family. It has taught his discipline and self confidence. The space is huge! Plenty of mat space and plenty of partners available to up his skills. The community is like no other and everyone takes care of each other. Sundays are FREE open mat so the Academy is open to anyone. Great place to meet people. It has showers and the bathrooms are super nice. Bring your family here and learn from the BEST! The owner Brian is an accomplished Black Belt and is super great with kids. He makes it so fun for them. And don’t forget about the ladies! There is a huge ladies only class which makes it fun for us to learn how to defend ourselves! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the best.”

“My son dropped in a no gi class with Instructor Brian while we were on vacation. What an amazing gym and great group of guys. Top notch all the way around!”

“A Truly Exceptional BJJ Experience I typically don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Renzo Gracie Houston. This gym stands out not just for its top-notch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction but for the genuine care and respect that permeate every class. Professor Brian Marvin is an outstanding instructor who treats every student equally, regardless of their skill level or competitive aspirations. Unlike some gyms where attention is primarily given to competitors, Professor Brian ensures that each individual receives the same level of guidance and support. His approach fosters an inclusive and encouraging environment that is rare to find. What truly sets this gym apart are the small, meaningful gestures. Before and after each class, Professor Brian takes the time to shake every student's hand and thank them for attending. This simple act creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel valued and appreciated. The community here is incredible—friendly, supportive, and entirely ego-free. Everyone is focused on learning, growing, and helping each other improve. It's a place where you can develop your BJJ skills while being part of a positive and uplifting community. If you're looking for a BJJ gym that combines high-level instruction with a genuinely caring and respectful environment, I can't recommend Renzo Gracie Houston enough. It's more than just a gym; it's a place where you can truly thrive.”

“You cannot visit Houston without stopping here, they are basically the hub where people from different gyms go on Sunday for open Mat. Anyone who follows the sport would recognize the owner and head instructor, Brian Marvin, for his generous work with the military community. He is also an ADCC judge and still made it to teach a Monday noon class. Thank you for your amazing hospitality.”

“My daughter started Ju Jitsu class in Jan 2023 and she really enjoys the training classes. Professor Brian is an amazing coach and all other coaches and staffs are very helpful and friendly. Great for my daughter as she learns how to defend herself and have self confidence.”
