“I can't thank Torres Jiu-Jitsu enough for everything they've done to help me get into top shape as I prepare to leave for the Marines tomorrow (3/24/2025). From the moment I started training, the staff at Torres has been nothing short of amazing. Their dedication to not just improving my skills but also helping me push my physical and mental limits has been a game-changer. The training environment at Torres is second to none – everyone is supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your progress. The staff, in particular, has been instrumental in helping me develop the strength, endurance, and discipline I need to succeed in the Marines. Each class pushed me to give my best, and the techniques I learned were incredibly practical and beneficial, both for Jiu-Jitsu and for overall fitness. I’m so grateful to the entire team for their guidance, their patience, and their unwavering support. You can really feel the camaraderie in the gym, and it’s clear that the instructors and staff care deeply about each individual’s success. I’m leaving for boot camp feeling stronger, more confident, and more prepared than ever, thanks to Torres Jiu-Jitsu. If you're looking for a place that not only improves your fitness but also builds your confidence and discipline, Torres Jiu-Jitsu is the place to be. Huge thanks to the staff for everything – I’ll carry the lessons and strength you’ve helped me develop into my next chapter and I hope to stop by next time I am in Houston.”

“The first time I was introduced to Torres Jiu Jitsu was when the owners, Mike and Maggie Torres, came to my school in high school many years ago to teach a self defense class. What she didn’t mention was that it was a martial art you easily fall in love with! more than just the self defense. I’ve been to a few gyms, and I can honestly say this one is by far the best. The atmosphere is incredibly positive. They do not allow toxic energy or attitudes, and it absolutely shows. Everyone here is genuinely kind and welcoming, even if you’re a bit shy or nervous around new people. What truly sets Torres Jiu Jitsu apart is the way they teach. The higher belts don’t just roll with you, they encourage you, uplift you, and help you grow. It’s not just about chasing stripes or belt colors here. They focus on the beauty of Jiu Jitsu, the technique, the mindset, and the journey. The entire vibe of the gym is amazing. It’s a place where you feel safe, supported, and inspired. I’ve left that gym feeling better! It’s the kind of place that makes you miss training when you aren’t on the mat. If you’re in the area and looking for a gym, I highly recommend checking out Torres Jiu Jitsu. You won’t regret it!!”

“Torres Jiu Jitsu is 100% one of the best gyms in the Houston area. Everything from the training to the people there. Mike and Maggie are wonderful humans that put all their time and energy into the gym to make it what it is today. It’s a must stop if you’re visiting the area, if you have kids who you’re interested in signing up, or if you’re looking to push yourself in ways you never thought you could. This is the gym that will take you to the next level. Both in skill and in character.”
