This academy is the best to bring your child to teach him/her to focus and to have discipline apart from jiu jitsu. And Best to not give on him/herself, because like Professor Pedro said, "I will not give up on him". And that is was is …

100% recommend this place! My husband, our 14 year old daughter and I attended the All Levels class in the middle of the day. We were welcomed warmly by Frank who answered our questions, signed us in, and set us up with gis. I feel very …

We have been attending classes regularly 3-5x week for the past year and a couple months for our now 5 year old. Meeting Professor Pedro and Professor Ed was an accident that I am forever thankful for. Our son David was 4 when he entered …

I've only been going two weeks but I've really enjoyed the new challenge and great instructors as well as helpful members who all have made my first two weeks doing any martial arts not as scary as I thought it would be.

This place is great

My son had a good and productive time

All the instructors are very attentive

Absolutely adore this place, looking foward to signing up for BJJ at Gracie Barra. The heights location is full of wonderful kind people and are extremely accommodating to all fitness levels

Awesome first day. Everyone was welcoming. I was happy to give the other more knowledgeable students submission practice. Lol. Hopefully I won’t be a grappling dummy forever. Excellent workout for those tired of the same old mundane …

Great sense of community at this gym.

Was visiting for one week, amazing atmosphere, great people and superb workout.

Professor Pedro is a highly technical athlete and knows exactly how to pass all his knowledge along to his students. Every time I’m in the area I make sure to save some time and learn from him. The students at the school are also very …

My friends and I were visiting from out of state and had an awesome experience! Professor Pedro Araújo is an amazing instructor.

The striking classes were great. After one session I am addicted.

Professional, welcoming, and patient.

I cannot praise this gym enough! Professor Pedro is so great with my children, he is very professional and very patient. There is such a wonderful atmosphere here and I can honestly say this gym has been a blessing. My children and my …

Awesome professors (4x world champ) who are great teachers, great striking coach, nice people, clean mats & locker rooms. To quote the gym motto "don't settle for average", don't join an average gym – if you have any interest in BJJ/Muay …

I was looking to get my, then 4 year old, daughter into martial arts when my father suggested Gracie Barra. I searched for the most convenient location and landed on the Heights location. I am eternally grateful for stumbling upon this …

Both of my elementary-age children have attended classes here 4-5 days/week for over a year and a half, and they absolutely love it! The classes are challenging, and Professor Pedro has high expectations of his students. BUT he does a great…

My son has been going to Gracie Barra since it opened. We were looking for a sport that my 11 yr old son would actually want to partake in as we had tried other sports like football and baseball and he never really took a liking to. When he…

This gym has a very good structure. The professors, class schedules and location are very good as well. The environment is very friendly. Brazilian jiu jitsu and strength & conditioning classes are great. I really recommend this place.

I am having the best experience in my life at this place.

Competent teachers and excellent atmosphere. I strongly recommended this place !

Training at Gracie Barra Heights under the guidance of professor Pedro has been a great experience. The attention to detail that is put into every technique that is taught is world class.

Great instructors!

Taking up the practice of jiu-jitsu has been one of the best decisions of my life.

Since I started a year and a half ago, I go to the gym at least three times per week, and I have gained fifteen pounds of muscle since I started.

The …

Great place to learn and train..

Started my 4 year old son a month ago. He looks forward to each time he gets to work and learn from Professor Pedro (who was #1 in the World at BJJ – not Houston, not Texas....the WORLD)

I started at the gym almost two years ago. My intention was to get into shape and learn self defense. I’ve come away with much more. If you are willing to commit yourself to it, you will find Jiu Jitsu can enhance your quality of life. GB …

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top tier academy. Great instruction and a welcoming atmosphere.

Last week I was promoted to the rank of the blue belt under Professor Pedro Araujo. One of the significant accomplishments in my life and great honor, as it proves that consistent effort and dedication lead to results. Those gallons of …

Pedro is the bomb!

Professor Pedro is an excellent instructor. He spends a lot of time perfecting his students’ technique and the results of his instruction are evident in the skill level of his students.

Pedro is an amazing instructor and great person. I have had the pleasure of training with Pedro at Draculinos academy and cant wait to visit Texas again just to stop by Pedro’s GB location.

Back at it and ready to get!! These guys don't play, excited to be working out here.!

I was visiting the area over the weekend and called to see about training for the day. Professor Pedro and his students were very welcoming and I got some first class training in a first class facility. I am humbled over their hospitality. …

Prof. Pedro's teaching approach is organized, analytical, and clear. He seems to have put a lot of thought into how people learn. He's certainly quite skilled as a practitioner and competitor but for me his teaching approach is what sets …

I started bjj and had been training for about 3 months, but my game stopped improving. I attended a seminar here and, after witnessing the quality of instruction, signed up the next day. I have been steadily improving ever since my first …
