Gracie Barra River Oaks Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Houston Tx

"Phenomenal gym that I feel lucky to have found, if only for the brief time I was visiting Houston. I dropped in with Professor Ulpiano's class twice. Everyone there was extremely gracious and receptive. Prof Ulpiano's insight and technical detail is really next level - he is an excellent teacher and a legend in the sport. The other coaches I interacted with briefly were great as well. The facility itself is big, clean, and well equipped. Looking forward to my next trip to Houston so I can go back!"

"My son absolutely love their Jiu Jitsu classes at Gracie Barra at River Oaks . The coaches are amazing with children - patient, encouraging, and great at building confidence while teaching discipline and respect. The deepest grateful to the professor Ulpiano Malachias! I’ve seen a big improvement in my son’s focus and coordination since he started. Highly recommend this school for anyone looking for a fun and positive martial arts experience for their children!"

"Great gym, facilities, community, and instructors. Professor Ulpiano's knowledge is incredible, and you really get an extra layer of detail hard to find anywhere else. I'm also enjoying training with Coach Henrique who has great technique and energy. Great people here, training partners included. River Oaks has a sister gym to West Chase, which is down the street. Their schedules are slightly different, allowing for flexibility with training times/classes. Update April 2024: Yeah, still awesome. Learning a lot of new things and improving on the ones I know"

"Gracie Barra River Oaks Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Houston Tx We did 1 trial class, and it was easy to schedule the class by calling. They were able to go over pricing over the phone. I was not a fan of the parking situation. The gym had a hand full of parking spots assigned to them. Maybe if I circled around more, I would have found more spots. I ended up parking on the side street. The class is well structured. They separate their classes by age for kids. My kids were 5 and 6 so they were in the same class. There were 4 instructors with maybe 15+ kids. There is a seating area for parents in the gym. Overall, it was a good experience. Pricing was reasonable and the gym was clean. However, my kids preferred another gym."
