My son has been going to Renzo Gracie in McAllen for about 3 months, and I highly recommend this academy. Coach Joshua is a great coach who prioritizes mutual respect, safety, and discipline, and breaks down each technique into small, simple steps for the kids to learn and practice. All the other instructors, including black-belt Coach Filipi and Coach Erik, are professional, and responsive, and take time to work with each kid during the classes. Coach Karrie is always welcoming and offers her best advice to help your child to be successful. The facility is clean and there is plenty of mat space to train. My son has never been so excited about Jiu-Jitsu before. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been here a yr and let me tell you it has the best year of her life. She has learned so much. The atmosphere here is family. The professors (Josh and Felipe ) are phenomenal, and they have a wonder set of coaches. I am beyond happy that my daughter found something she loves. That's cause she is a cheerleader and in cross country and track, but jiu-jitsu is her favorite. I totally recommend this gym 100% .

I was visiting from out of town. I attend another Gracie Barra location in another state. The Professors and students were warm and welcoming. The facility was extremely clean and modern. The instruction was detailed and intricate but explained thoroughly by the staff. The class timings were varied from 6am to the evening; making it quite convenient for all the students. I would definitely recommend this academy for anyone in the area to train. Thanks once again to the Professors and staff who welcomed me.

I called and messaged 5 different BJJ gyms and Renzo Gracie was the only one that kept communicating back to me. As a visitor, this facility has everything you need, clean restrooms, clean mats, BBJ equipment on hand, and highly skilled instructors. I would highly recommend Renzo Gracie Facility to train from beginners to masters and become a part of an amazing lineage.
