Started going here 3 years ago. Been a life changer. Increased my fitness, mental toughness, and made some good friends. Professor Ulpiano is the best in the business. If you want to learn from one of the best in the world, this is your spot!

I have been lucky to train, learn, and grown as a martial artist with GB Westchase for the past 10 years. It is a high level place in all aspects. I recommend Westchase to all my friends who have an interest in learning bjj, wrestling, or kickboxing. My son even trains alongside me and we are able to create lasting memories.

Our family has taken our kids to Gracie Barra Westchase for over 5 years and we could not be more impressed with this gym. We believe the classes here have been the single most important part in our children’s development. There is not a better Jiujitsu gym in Texas. Your children receive instruction from black-belts in every single class and not only do they learn Jiujitsu, but they learn to be respectful. We love this gym and wish we could give more than 5 stars on the review!

After coming by to check out classes by direction of my friend (Azeem), I’ve fallen in love with the atmosphere at GB Westchase! I’ve attended a couple classes and sparring sessions so far, and one thing is clear: this is the place to go if you want to get better! A great place to not only learn techniques, but be pushed to the next level. Amazing direction from every professor and coach and a great family-style atmosphere. Everyone is just looking to get better. Love going here whenever I get the chance! I look forward to more classes and reaching new horizons with everyone at GB Westchase.

Excellent group! Top notch training! Instructors who put in work into their people and art form. If you’re looking to level up in your in your martial arts skill these guys will help aid you. Also just generally cool people to hang out with 👌

Been with this school the better part of 10 years and love it here. I pass probably 3 schools on the way and drive 45 min because its become my second home. From the general gym, the coaches, my training partners, to Professor Ulpiano... everything here is A1. Come on in and change your life... #BJJforEveryone

Great atmosphere great instructors and amazing competition team , kids program it’s the most organized and we love to have our whole family training at Gracie Barra Westchase.

GREAT gym where high quality competitors and fun time hobbyists both get along really well and their needs are met. Very good instruction. Meticulously clean facility with 6 showers. People actually hang out outside of class, too.

Very clean and friendly gym with nice showers. Professor Ulpiano is a strong leader and treats his team like family. You can also be sure you’re getting world class instructors and the mats are sanitized after every class.

I’ve been to plenty of GB schools, this one by far is the best. Great instruction, and great competitors.

World class instruction, facilities, and teammates wrapped in a clean and respectful family atmosphere. Multiple world champions openly share knowledge and support and push each other daily. Many reasons why the mats are always busy. The only place in Houston for Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Wrestling.

Gracie Barra Westchase is for everyone! from the least experienced to World Champions. I was most impressed with their commitment to excellence. When you see your kids who have never stepped on a jiujitsu mat mentored by some of the best instructors in the country, you realize how important every person is to the GBW family. The change in confidence, maturity and determination in my family members that chose to give it a try is beyond words.Thank you Professor Ulpiano,Gracie Barra Westchase has been one of the most positive influences for good in our lives. The Ohai family is forever grateful👊👊

Best school on earth , they are very friendly and helpful they offer different types of memberships and the professors are amazing.

Best jiu jitsu scxhool in texas, they are very polite and very honest , and very helpfull they even give some free moths when i lost my job, prof Ulpiano is the best

GB Westchase is one of the best & most competitive schools in Houston! I highly recommend training here whether you are a beginner or an experienced competitor.

Ive been at GB Westchase the past three months. The professors and coaches here are excellent at what they do. I started with the Womens only class which made me feel very comfortable getting familiar with the general class flow. When my schedule changed I was hesitant to join the coed BJJ classes, however Prof. Ulpiano, Pedro, and even visiting professors always make a point to ensure I have a safe training partner for my size and skill level. They of course do this for men who are new, but I especially appreciate their attention to ensuring their students are set up to avoid unnecessary injuries. When there isnt an appropriate partner, they will train with me instead. Per other reviews the facilities are clean, well maintained, and they have taken care to request for everyone to comply with required COVID precautions. I look forward to my children starting when theyre old enough. I cant recommend enough for any female considering training BJJ. If you arent, you should. GB Westchase will make you feel at home and take care of you!

I just started training here and the professors, coaches and my fellow classmates have all been extremely welcoming and helpful. It has been a great experience. Ulpiano and Pedro have a way of teaching that benefits everyone from beginners to very advanced. I could tell from day one that I made the right choice by joining the team at Gracie Barra Westchase!

The entire staff as well as the members at GBwestchase are Great people . Professor Ulpiano embraced me with sincerity and accepted me into the school everyone was helpful professor servando and everyone best school I’ve ever attended

Words can’t describe how happy I am to have found Gracie Barra Westchase. I moved to Houston from California and have trained for about 10 years prior to coming here and there’s nothing second rate about GB Westchase. Ulpiano the owner takes no shortcuts to offer a world-class facility for jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, and wrestling. He also personally takes it to heart to ensure that your time at the gym is the best hour or so of your day. The other instructors Servando, Arezou, and Pedro are no different and their passion to the sport and the students is incredible. The best part maybe the other students, there are so many students who show up to all the different classes that finding and training with people of all skill levels and body types is never an issue. It simply amazes me when you can show up to a class and final almost a dozen of black belts on any given weekday night. Class people, class facilities, and class organization. If you’re looking to find a place to call your second home and to improve your Jiu Jitsu, this is it.

Ive been doing BJJ for over a decade now and before I stumbled upon this gem I was training all over the Houston area. I can tell you that this place has the most professional instructors/employees. When I first walked in I was taking by its large mat space I was welcomed in with open arms I saw children and full families enjoying their time. The facility alone is top notch, lockers showers are large and cleaned on a daily basis by outside sources cleaners. The training is top notch I can say I was excited to be at my new home as I saw many beneficial challenges that will benefit me overall as a person. The people who train here are the nicest ppl and the most diverse group Ive ever been around. The best place to train not only in Houston but top 10 in the country no doubt.

Poor service, I don’t recommend they turn evil if you forget a payment or try to cancel the services, there are more places are better and friendly

Best and cleanest Jiu-Jitsu/MMA gym in Houston. Best instructors. This is the only place you need to go if you want to become a great martial artist.

Highest level training with a family atmosphere!

Professor Ulpiano is amazing. He not only teaches jiu jitsu but teach you how to think about it. My game increased a lot and every class I learn something new. Ive been on different academies and teams and I can say that this school is the best Ive ever been.

World class Jiu Jitsu / Kickboxing / Wrestling / MMA instruction here!They have something for people of all ages. Ive been training BJJ here for 18 months and both of my kids (6 yr old boy and 3 yr old girl) train BJJ here as well. My wife trains kickboxing and BJJ with Professor Servando and Coach Arezou and has made massive fitness gains with their help.I have lower back issues and the training partners and instructors here are super supportive and helpful. Ive trained in both group and private class settings here and have never been disappointed.Some reviews say that theyre expensive but their tuition is actually about average for a BJJ school. When you consider that the instructors here (Professor Ulpiano has over 25 years experience and is a 4th degree black belt - a rare find) have a lot more experience and credentials than the average BJJ school, theyre actually a great deal.5 stars - highly recommended!

The best school in the world!

I really like this BJJ gym/school because of its visible weekly, written-down curriculum, many good instructors, the spirit of teaching and the encouragement of learning the art, so many partners to roll with (15-30/class), part of the belt promotion is how one help other lower belts to get better, very large and clean facility, added options of Muay Thai/MMA or even wrestling...It is like going through a college of BJJ for me...The head Professor works really hard to make all this happened...(also, make sure you clock-in each class because the attendance counts in getting stripes...)

Toxic culture, aggressive coaches and they are not friendly at all .

Very professional, super inviting, clean, excellent instruction. I came in from out of town to get some quick training in. I called ahead to make sure it was okay and they were great. Top notch instruction and fun welcoming training partners makes or breaks an experience and I had a great time here. I would definitely recommend this place for friendly and top notch Jiu-Jitsu instruction. I’ll be back next time I’m in Houston for sure.

I first walked through the doors of this gym in January 2011. It was the first class after the school opened and I was nervous not knowing what to expect. I was immediately greeted by Professor Ulpiano with a smile and an overwhelming feeling of positivity and encouragement. After that first class I was hooked and trained every chance I had a lot of times two to three times a day. Professor is hands down the best coach I have ever been around through out all my sporting endeavors. His ability to build his students confidence combined with the technical proficiency hes able to teach with are unrivaled. About a year later I quit. It is one of the biggest regrets I have in life. The impact Professor and the GB family made on me carries over to this day. This is not just a gym its a family.

Training in any sport is difficult. Getting accustomed to the nuances of any technical training takes time. At GB Westchase, absolutely everyone wearing a gi no matter the color, wants you to learn and feel welcomed. Thats exactly how anyone should feel when they step on the mat. Instruction and coaching is top notch from the lower belts all the way up to the Professors. A great camp to be a part of!

Toxic culture, multiple coaches demonstrated mental and emotional instability

Professor Ulpiano has everything you can ask for from an instructor. He is patient, technical and you can tell he is very passionate about bjj... People are friendly and willing to teach you...

When I come into Houston to visit my family, I join the Cardio Boxing class while my nephew is in his martial arts class. I will say the workout is intense and challenging. Just what I was looking for! Love the kick bags and the variety of the class. Highly recommend it! While your child is doing martial arts--you can get a great workout at the same time! The Gracie Barra in Baltimore doesnt offer cardio kickboxing. Bummer!

Great school! Very clean, offers lots of classes throughout the day making it perfect for any schedule, and amazing professors and students with positive attitudes. Very friendly and healthy environment for those that just want to do it for excersise, learn self defense, or compete. I highly recommend this school to anybody with any interest in martial arts! They offer everything!

Very rude and aggressive owner. Will believe customers that moved to china, but not ones that moved an hour away.

I went in to inquire about classes and the lady at the front desk was not the friendliest and was easily annoyed by my questions. Now imagine my shock when I see that for me and my 3 kids would require a $1462 upfront payment... $100 Registration Fees per member, $135+Uniform per member, $132+ First month per member. The membership is a financed billing service that cannot be cancelled or it will end up on your credit report. As much as I would love to join this gym, the start up fees does not make any financial sense.

A black belt who throws a chair at a white belt from another school has no business teaching kids. This black belt also allows his students to post pictures of the whole team flipping off our top school in the city and posting on social media. Have no respect for this school. Beware

Gracie Barra is the place to train that will not only push you but help you exceed your goals whether that goal is fitness, weight loss, or training to become a professional fighter. The facility is always clean, great coaches/professors who fight/compete so the training is firsthand. Hands down the best place to train in Houston.

In Houston for work, dropped in last night for no gi. Very nice facility, clean and huge, I travel all over the country and have dropped in to a lot of gyms and this is one of the nicest I have ever seen. Very welcoming group of people, I got some good rolls in and had a great time. When in Houston this is where I will be training.

Great group of people here. I came in for a few days while in town for work and everyone from the professors to the students were very welcoming. Learned a lot! Thank you all for letting me train with you.

Very friendly and technical jujitsu place.Once you come, they will welcome you and give you a trial class for free.Then you will find very detail oriented and systematic lessons from globally well known professors.And the students here!!!They have so many students, you can find all different levels of sparring partners.Come and Check it out!!!

This place is nice. Super clean and modern! Black belts do a great deal of training. They work well with kids. My son lovesit. Ill be joining classes soon.

This facility is new and has great space. Im most happy about the professor to student ratio. With multiple professors, the kids get a chance to break into small groups to practice with supervision. M

Clean, structured, and positive. Excellent school!!! Great instruction for beginners and great mat time for advanced students. Truly a friendly atmosphere with a high level of training.

Have been a part of the Gracie Barra Westchase team for over 5 years. Have traveled to many different bjj gyms around Texas, but this is home! Westchase has an amazing culture, creates an environment to learn, train hard, and build great friendships. Cant recommend Westchase, Professor Ulpiano, the other amazing coaches in all disciplines, and the operation enough. Great place to train Jiu Jitsu!

I went to train here when I was out of town for the day. It was a great place to roll at. Very clean and spacious. Everybody was very accommodating and friendly.

State of the art facility - Strong Leadership. Cant express enough how happy I am at this school. The students work hard and are very helpful. 🤙🏼

Very happy with the gym. Makes BJJ very accessible to someone with zero experience. The professors and gym members are great, learn a lot in a short amount of time.

This place used to be better, but now is ... some coachs are not there for teaching your kid! They talk to their friends while the kids are competing! Or they just play attentions to some kids. Anyway! Not a good place to learn anymore! It used to be better!

Jumped in on a Muay Thai class while visiting from out of town, and loved everything about this place. Improved on a lot of my technique just from one class. Very welcoming, great instructors, clean facilities, all the equipment one could possibly want or need. And the big showers are a nice plus. If I ever move back to H-town, this will definitely be my Muay Thai gym!

This is an first class facility, with good trainers and friendly members.I was in town for the night and new to the sport and i was welcomed like a local and treated like a member. This is why i love this sport. If i lived in Houston i would train here for sure

Ive been going to this school multiple times a week for just over a year now and I have no idea why it has taken me so long to write a positive review for this place. Paramount leadership and exquisite community leads to a great learning environment for all involved. I solely train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but you cant go wrong with learning Muay Thai here or frequenting the Cardio Kickboxing classes if more accurately suits your needs. No reason no to try a free trial class & I guarantee you wont leave disappointed.Oh, and learning from multiple world renowned professors is always a plus. :)

Incredible school one of the best GB facilities in the Country. Clean, spacious and really friendly. Top professors specially the head instructor Prof Ulpiano Malachias the guy is the real deal, if youre around Westchase looking for a martial arts school with awesome training and a great atmosphere look no further GB Westchase is the place for you.

Awesome place to train. Instructors and Staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Everyone is treated with respect. Im very happy to be a member of Gracie Barra Westchase

Has great coaches and good quality training area. Highly recommend to train here!

Visiting relatives in Houston for the week, stopped in for a BJJ class. First impressions, everything was very clean. Mats looked brand new. The locker room was spotless. The loaner Gi was clean and smelled freshly laundered. The space was quite large. Plenty of room to roll. This was my first time training away from home, so I was a little nervous as to what I was walking into. Everyone was super welcoming and the class was well structured and well run. A great vibe. They even had açaí bowls for sale, which I’m pretty sure gave me temporary Brazilian super powers and raised my skill level up at least one belt color. Will definitely be coming back next time I am in town. OSS!

Took a few classes here it’s was an amazing experience the lady at the front desk was very nice and the gym is big lots of space and very comfortable and the guys are tough good training and good rounds and the instruction is great got to learn some good stuff and get a great sweat definitely a premier gym to train at

Best place to train in Houston! Clean gym clean showers and towels. Cool and highly skilled people to train with!

I just moved from overseas and Gracie Barra welcomed me with open arms! Its an excellent place to train and they definitely push you above and beyond.

With a husband who’s extra OCD about cleanliness and kids who are super shy and awkward, GB westchase is the only option for my family. My kids love the professors and it’s one of the few BJJ gyms that isn’t an over glorified daycare for them. The professors are strict but friendly, the technique being taught is practical and necessary. Professor Ulpiano goes out of his way to welcome and greet people and always keeps the environment a family friendly place. Professor Inacio is strict but kind to all the kids. Professor Servando, also my son’s favorite coach, has imbedded the love for wrestling in him and taught him to push himself to always do better. But my favorite is Coach Arezou, but that’s only because I have a thing for genuinely nice people.

I can’t say enough nice things about this place. I always wanted to try something like this but was too afraid to try. In mid-May I went in to check the place out and met Coach Arezou. She was awesome! She told me what I needed to do and how much everything was and really sold me on it. I left and went to a conference that next week, but I couldn’t get Gracie Barra out of my head and decided while I was out of town to take the plunge and do it. I went back on a Friday morning where I met Niles and he, too, was just amazing. I had my free class that very day with Professor Reuben. I had never had anything kick my butt like that class. I was exhausted. I was worked out like I had never been worked out before. But I felt AMAZING. I wanted more. That’s the thing about this martial art. It’ll push you to the limit and wear you out, but your mind and spirit want you to get back on that mat because there is just so much to learn. I signed up that day. Professor Ulpiano, Professor Inacio, and Professor Reuben are amazing teachers who push you to get better. Coach Arezou (who teaches at the school) Niles, and Coach Servando (who also teaches at the school) are an amazing front-desk staff and answer every single question and concern that I have. The training partners are a godsend and have really helped me along this early part of my Jiu Jitsu journey. I could go on and on, but I will say this. The highlight of my day is going to GB Westchase to train. I’ve been doing it for a month now and I have a new confidence about myself, I have more energy, I have already lost 12 pounds, and I feel amazing. I can’t wait until my daughter gets old enough to start training. Do yourself and favor and give this wonderful school a try. You won’t regret it.

I enjoy taking my 3 year old to this class as much as he does, I like how even at that small age theyre so smart to follow instructions and try their best do the exercise. I would recommend this school to all parents that have high energetic children like my son :)

In town for a conference and wanted to get some training in. I was able to drop in for two classes and each had 50+ students. Tons of room to roll, 5k+ square feet, absolutely amazing facility!Friendly environment, I was able to train with the head instructor Ulpiano Malachias and his top brown belt (along with a couple purples) great all around experience and instruction.Highly recommend visiting if youre in the Houston area!

I love this place, they have an amazing teacher group and program , I love the traditional part of Jiu Jitsu and this place is more than 5 stars. I would definitely recommend this place.

I just stopped in for a Jiu-Jitsu class while visiting from Atlanta. I had a great time and the people are wonderful! I would definitely recommend them!

Great gym!!! Classes are intense. I would recommend this to any person.....You control the experience at this gym. Just want hard cardio kick boxing workouts punching and kicking a bag? They have it. Want to take it a step further and spar with someone? You can do that too.Muai Thai, Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu classes are the big draws.This gym is very clean and the staff are great. They will push you, but, know where to draw the line.This is the place to go to get out of your rut and get FIT.The whole experience has been top notch. Give this gym a try.....In 4 months Ive lost 35 pounds.

The instructors really motivate you to work hard! The classes will wear you out but youll feel so good afterwards!

I have been training under Professor Ulpiano Malachia at Gracie Barra Westchase since 2012. Its been for about a little over 6 years. Professor Malachia is a great instructor and very good friend. He is very close to all his students. GB Westchase is not only a school where you just learn Brazilian Jujitsu. You learn about life, friendship and relationships. You also learn about yourself. I highly recommend GB Westchase if you want to grow in everything that you do.

Gracie Barra Westachse is one of the best school to train in Houston area. The facility is clean, mats are huge and students makes you feel welcome but what makes this school different is the leadership of Professor Ulpiano. He is professional, passionate about his students development and is ALWAYS looking to help the community and people around him. He is always there to help anyone in need. As a bonus you will be taught by Professor Inacio which is a beast, along many other amazing coaches. Give it a try and see with your own eyes.

What an amazing facility! You wont find a nicer place to train. Ulpiano is an excellent instructor you wont be disappointed.

We love it here! The coaches are professional, friendly and respectful. We highly recommend this school!

I visited Gracie Barra Westchase while on a business trip. I called before going talked with Arezou who was super nice. When I showed up she remembered me which was really cool, she is really nice!Professor Ulpiano was great, and made me feel welcomed just like everybody else in the class.Having trained at different gyms, if you are looking for a family like environment, ego free, with a very high level jiu-jitsu, this is the place to go.Also the facility is amazing, they have showers and lots of mat space.

Great instructors and great classmates, one of the best schools in Houston. No bully mats and very understanding instructors and classmates.

Awesome Instructors !!!! great school to take your kid thank you so much Gracie Barra

Best in Houston

Great gym with awesome instructors and a great environment. Highly recommend for any skill level.

Arezou is the best coach ever. I love her

This place is amazing! Love the instructors, always encouraging to push me beyond what I think Im capable of.

The best place to learn Brazilian Jiujtsu in Houston area!! People are so friendly and patient to teach the techniques.

Enjoying the Muay Thai program—taught by real Muay Thai practitioners. Facilities are clean and nice.

Great place to train. Im there almost every day getting some work in.

Well, I moved to Houston and decided to Start training BJJ, so I met Prof Ulpiano and his GYMs, great academy clean, nice staffs, really great professors, very family environment. deeply recommend people to train with Westchase Gracie Barra. very professionals and committed with the sport, family, kids and adults.

Great staff. Very friendly. Attentive to kids

Great place to train BJJ. Professors Ulpiano and Inacio are great with the kids. Gym is always clean, organized, and everyone is friendly. Great for families.

Love this gym!!! Just started a few weeks ago and Ive already learned so much. Great instructors and great multiple class times!!!

Awesome jiu jitsu instructors teach quality techniques and great training partners for all skill levels. Great place to train if your just passing through and want to get some quality rolls in

My name is Ehab Ahmed , a Black Belt in Traditional Ju Jitsu and Karate. After being literary rejected to learn BJJ from 3 different BJJ school owners, I decided I am going to give it one more shot. I walked into Gracie Barra Westchase and asked to speak to professor Ulpiano. After I had explained to him my situation and my desire to learn BJJ, he accepted me and said Train for as long as you want for FREE till you feel comfortable I was honored to be accepted as a student of his.After Hurricane Harvey my school was destroyed, so in the process of building my new school professor Ulpiano paid me a visit and gave me an advise that I am forever thankful for. He helped avoid a huge mistake that I would have made. Thank you for being my teacher and friend

I´ve had a very good experience in this academy. The instructors/professors are very nice for both, muay-thai and jiu-jitsu. I normally train in Mexico, but when i come to Houston to visit, I ask Professor Ulpiano to let me train in his academy. He always welcomes me with open arms. Plus the instructors are very good at what they do, and there is a lot of knowledge you can get from them. If you come to Houston I recommend visiting this academy.

Amazing martial art school in houston.............i love gracie barra family

We enrolled my daughter at 4 years old into this program because she was very shy and we wanted her to gain some confidence. She immediately leaned on the female coach for comfort but after a couple months, she loved all the Professors & Coaches. This is a family friendly program and I cannot say enough good things about it.Weve visited other Gracie Barra Gyms and I can vouch that this place is very nice, spacious and the equipment is very new. The mats are very forgiving and you can tell a lot of money went into putting this place together. They keep it extremely clean which is very important to me. They have many kids programs and separate the classes by Little Champs 1 & Little Champs 2 so kids are separated by age and your little one doesnt end up sparring with a kid twice their size. Weve found that other gyms with less members mix their Champs 1 & 2 and do not have as strict of rules as Gracie Barra Westchase which makes me nervous. I wouldnt want my 5 year old daughter sparring with an 8+ year old. This doesnt happen at Gracie Barra Westchase.Another thing I notice at other gyms I have visited is the amount of black belts on the mat teaching the children. Ive never seen 3 black belt professors at one time on the mat for kids. Ive seen many gyms with blue belts or brown belts sometimes even white and purple belts. I believe they probably had a lot of kids and needed more coaches which you will see at Gracie Barra Westchase sometimes but there will always be the main black belt professors teaching the class while the other coaches assist. I feel very lucky to have found a school this professional! Also the Professor is ranked in the top 100 on the IBJJF ranking. That is top notch right there! Good luck finding a better teacher & better school!After seeing our daughter grow and her confidence skyrocket, we decided to join some of their adult programs as well. Our whole family now has joined this gym and this program has changed our lives. Cardio Kickboxing is definitely intense, but I have seen major results! If you would have asked me a couple years ago if I would consider practicing jiu jitsu, I would have laughed. However, now I cant imagine ever quitting.I highly recommend this school and enrolling your children or yourself. It is the best thing weve ever done for our once shy little girl and for our own healthier lifestyles.

Very good place to learn self defense, everyone is very nice family friendly.everyone is there to help you and make sure you learn.they have classes for all ages.

I absolutely love everything about GB Westchase. I came here with no jiu-jitsu experience and was welcomed with open arms. The amount of experience under one roof is unreal. Not only are their instructors experienced and willing to spend the time coaching you, but the athletes that train there as well. Many times I simply walked up to someone and asked them to help me and without hesitation I had someone walking me through steps. Everyone loves training here so the atmosphere is great. The facility is kept clean throughout the day as well!! Overall, I am so glad that I decided to try jiu-jitsu out at GB Westchase and I strongly encourage everyone (from beginners to advanced) to consider this location.Theres no place like Westchase!

Great people and fantastic jiujitsu at a clean and professional academy. Cant beat it! - Love the #fujimats too!

I train here as well as my children. This is the best school to learn real Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for either sport or self defense. They also have a great Muay Thai program, and have fighters at all levels and sizes training here. Theres someone for anyone to spar with.I strongly encourage anyone considering learning jiu-jitsu to come here first!

Its a great place to train, the coaches are excellent and work with you to perfect your skills, i recommend everyone to come train here

If youre in the Houston area and are looking for a great gym to train gi/no gi bjj while traveling, this is the place!

5 Stars does not do this academy justice. I could go on and on about the facility and all the amenities but the best part is the staff. Professor Ulpiano has assembled a great team to make his vision come to life while creating leaders in every area thru his love of jiujitsu. Professor Inacio Neto and Professor Servando are able to break down difficult positions in a way someone on their 1st day can understand. The wrestling pedigree of Professor Servando will take your jiujitsu or mma game to another level. I highly recommend GB Westchase .You owe it to yourself to get started and thru the process never forget why you started.

My 2 sons went here and got very better! They go to kickboxing and juice jutsu, I highly recommend gracie barra!

One of the best Houston BJJ and Cardio Kickboxing gyms in the greater Houston area!Ive been coming here three times a week now for almost a year for the kids Jiu Jitsu program. Previously, I knew nothing about the sport, but was introduced to the gym by my black belt brother-in-law, who met the gym owner, Ulpiano Malachias, at a national competition.Over the past year I have been blown away by the commitment, dedication, knowledge, and support the coaches give to this gym. This is not to mention the character and quality of the students I see come through this door. And Im not just talking kids jiu jitsu anymore.Since the gym moved and expanded to its new and current location on Fondren, I have gotten to see some of the adult programs first hand. The quality is excellent and my wife has now begun the womens Jiu Jitsu class. Myself, well, Im desperate to start the kickboxing class, but still need to make a few adjustments to my schedule.A few words on the staff...Ulpiano Malachias is one of the most professional, passionate, and knowledgeable gym owners in Houston. He commands the respect of all his customers. His business acumen is matched only by his prowess on the mat. He regularly takes the time to personally train his students, at all levels. Himself a student of BJJ Hero, Draculino, you will have Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in your heart each day you enter this gym.Inácio Neto, the gyms other resident black belt, is a fierce competitor and passionate instructor. He is patient and understanding, but also demanding of his students. If you sincerely want to train, fight, and learn self discipline and control, Inácio will be your rock. Professor Neto obviously loves what he does, and it shows.This review is already too, long, right? But a quick shout out to all the other coaches, trainers, and supporting staff: Sophia, Arezou, Servando, etc... who demonstrate on a daily basis why this is one of the best training gyms in Houston and its probably also one of the fastest growing.Thanks for the great work, Team Malachias! We look forward to training with you for many years to come!
