Gracie Humaita Jiu-jitsu in Brownsville

"Great school. Very clean. The instructors and members are very knowledgeable and friendly."

"I started at Galvan’s Martial Arts/Gracie Humaita Brownsville back in 2006 when it was located on Southmost. The school has changed in location and size, but what hasn’t changed is the quality and instruction; crazy thing is, as amazing as it used to be, it’s actually gotten better. Not once have I attended a class where things seemed unorganized or unplanned, Professor Galvan has a very methodical approach to his teaching as he even writes out a lesson plan for the month. His classes have a systematic well thought out organization about them, yet are taught so clear that anyone can follow along regardless of skill level. Apart from the amazing teaching, which is that good, both Professor Manny & Martha have created a family feel to this school. So much so that you see students go from kids to adults in this school. You see entire families train together and grow together here. As many black belts as we have, they have all been homegrown and have stayed here from day 1, which comes to show the great learning and growing environment they have created. I constantly recommend this school to everyone & would never consider any other school apart from this one. Without a doubt 5/5 stars would recommend 👍🏻"

"I've been to a couple different gyms while traveling. None of them compare to the welcoming/competitive spirit this gym provided. Manny and Martha are great instructors and their students are special. Manny is so knowledgeable, he makes teaching a technique look so easy. This gym was so fun to roll at while I stayed in Brownsville. I learned a lot, and would love to go back one day. Thanks again Manny and Martha!"

"From being inactive to going every week, this school has improved my life. From the first day, the attitude of every person present is positive and encouraging, making the beginning difficulties of jiu-jitsu less difficult. After a while, the hours spent at the school will become the best part of your day. The growth potential depends on your investment, from going two days a week to going 5. It is an excellent school with amazing teachers, a wonderful environment, challenging and straightforward; there is something here for anyone."
