If you live in Houston then you live near one of the GREATEST BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU PLAYERS ON THE PLANET. I’m visiting from Denver and took the opportunity to train with Professor Dentinho. He is an amazing teacher and HOUSTON is very lucky to have someone of his caliber. GO TRAIN AT ACTIVE JIU JITSU.

One of the best Martial Arts gyms I have ever been to, both for me, and for my children. Professor Rose has been such an excellent instructor and leader, as well as Coach Zane and many of the other coaches. They have an excellent system that keeps the students engaged and learning essential skills while also having a lot of fun. I also have to give credit to Professor Detinho who has done an excellent job empowering his students to participate in the teaching process. I've been a student in the beginners class for a few months now, and the system they have in place to teach new skills has been excellent and has helped me strongly reinforce concepts with muscle memory. I wish the Active Jiu Jitsu team continued success in the future, as they have been doing an excellent job all around.

This place is absolutely amazing! My 4 year old daughter started here earlier this year and loves it. Professor Rose and the entire Active team fosters a very welcoming and collaborative environment for kids to learn the basics of Jiu Jitsu. Every session hits all the checks you want to see in a martial arts studio. They’re fun, technique-driven, and filled with exercises that can be practiced at home. In addition to that, professor Rose takes time to teach her class on how to treat others with respect and when to (and when not to) use Jiu Jitsu in certain situations. I highly recommend Active JJ if you’re looking for a studio to get involved in.

I literally couldn’t say enough good things about Active Jui juitsu. This is not just a business this is a family 💗 they were so kind with my son. At first he didn’t want to do it and they allowed us to keep taking him for him to watch & keep getting comfortable. My son now loves going to class and looks forward to seeing the coaches. The feeling we get when we walk thru is a feeling of family and for that we are grateful. 🫶🏼

Professor Rosa was kind enough to let me drop in while I was visiting Houston. The training and instruction were top notch, and everyone I met went out of their way to welcome me. I would highly recommend this school, and I hope to come back next time I'm in the area.

I had no combat sports experience when I started going to Active. I’m now on my fourth month and haven’t looked back. The leadership is world class, the environment is competitive but respectful, and everyone wants to see you succeed. It really is a team. Active is the premier gym in Houston.

Stopped by for a no-gi class while in town. I was very impressed. Professor Luis invited me in with open arms when I contacted him the night before arrival. The gym was immaculate and professor Luis arrived early to even clean the mats one more time (you can tell he takes pride in his gym and has great attention to detail. Everyone was super friendly and the instruction was great. Solid competitive rolls. I hope I get to come back.

Just began training a month ago and loving it so far! A great way to workout and get in shape. The instructors and everyone there make you feel right at home. I initially signed up thinking I'd go 2-3 days a week, but now if I could, I'd go every day. Edit: it's been 2 years and still loving it. Learning new things every day. 🙏

Great place, owner seems to be a very nice person but the guy who teaches the class thinks he's tough by trying to embarrass paying customers who are there to learn. This business won't make it with that business model. I'll take my money elsewhere, I know where my job is at.

We starter at Active Jiu-jitsu last September 2022. Both of our kids LOVED it and have been learning self defense skills ever since. This sports really prooves that no matter how big or small a kid can be, they can learn how to control their body and somebody else if they need to protect themselves. The coaches are GREAT. We had gone to at least three similar places and we didn't see the discipline, attention grabing instructions (so needed for kids), practice time (to put into action the lessons) and the monitoring of kids to ensure they do the movement properly. We are very very happy here and thanks to Professor Rose and Coach Zein, for providing a safe and constructive environment for the kids. This is a sport for life!

My cousin introduced me to jiu jutsu in December 2020 and I cannot be more grateful that my first experience was here at Active Jiu Jutsu. Not only are the instructors truly masters of the art but they way that they teach is approachable and learnable. The community they've created here makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. So if you're looking for a place to learn, advance or just recreationally, this place is the place to be.

I’ve been doing jujitsu for a couple months now and it’s honestly the favorite part of my day. When I first came I was really nervous and scared but everyone here is so nice and welcoming. You learn so many amazing skills and meet so many different types of people. For example I’m 25 and I’ve always lived in Houston, and then there’s people who are older/younger and come from different parts of the country, or there are people who are about to leave the country & want to learn a couple of skills. There’s even kids who are barely about to enter high school and their parents went them to learn self-defense. Everyone here has a purpose to grow no matter their age or where they’re from or where they’re going. They even have boxing classes here which are amazing as well ! All in all, I started with going to an hour class but now I contribute two hours or more of my day here because I enjoy it that much! Honestly it was the best decision I made when I decided to look for a new hobby

I have been taking classes with Professor Dentinho for about 8 months now and I have loved every minute of it! He does a great job of breaking down each week into a different subject and incorporates ways to build on it. Him and Professor Rose are great instructors and everyone that goes there is super helpful and encouraging. I would definitely recommend Active for anyone looking to start jiu-jitsu or that has been training for a while.

I traveled to Houston for work from Ohio and did an Intermediate class as a drop in this week. I felt like a long time member after 5 minutes. Everyone welcomed me…the blue belt I rolled with was super helpful and cool. The place has a great vibe and obviously world class instruction. Thank you Active BJJ family…I can’t wait to visit again.

If you are looking for a fun and safe environment for you or your kids to learn jiu jitsu, then Active Jiu Jitsu is the best choice in Houston. Professor Luiz and Rose are exceptional instructors who beyond just being tremendously technical practitioners, are able to convey their knowledge in a precise and thorough manner that students can easily follow and retain. Regardless of your skill level or goals (MMA, hobbyist, competition, etc) you will find a welcoming and supportive environment at AJJ.

As a member for the past seven months, I've had a very positive experience with everyone being friendly and helpful. The coaches stand out for their approach of explaining the concepts and intentions behind techniques, rather than just demonstrating them. This approach has proven to be very helpful for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

5/5 - Active Juijitsu is the epitome of excellence in the BJJ community! I cannot express enough how impressed I am with Active Juijitsu in Houston TX. From the moment I walked through their doors, I felt like I was part of a big, caring family. Their family-oriented approach sets them apart from any other martial arts academy I have encountered. The sense of community and camaraderie here is truly heartwarming. It's not just about learning Juijitsu; it's about growing together as individuals and as a team. The kids' classes are outstanding! They are designed with great attention to detail and are focused on nurturing not only their Juijitsu skills but also instilling confidence and strong values. Seeing the children develop and gain self-assurance through these classes is nothing short of incredible. The facility at Active Juijitsu is always spotless and tidy. They maintain a high standard of cleanliness, creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. It's clear that they prioritize the well-being of their members and guests. One of the most outstanding aspects of Active Juijitsu is the people it attracts. They have managed to gather a fantastic group of individuals who are all dedicated to having fun while continuously improving themselves mentally and physically. The positive energy and enthusiasm that fill the gym are contagious, making every session a joyous and uplifting experience. For those hesitant about starting Juijitsu, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Active Juijitsu a chance. Their warm and welcoming approach will ease any apprehensions you may have, and they even offer family membership discounts, making it easier for everyone in the family to participate. Active Juijitsu is a shining gem in the world of martial arts. Their family-oriented and community-driven values, along with their exceptional kids' classes, immaculate facility, and the fantastic people it attracts, create an unparalleled experience. Trust me when I say that you will not regret becoming a part of this incredible Juijitsu family. I give my highest recommendation to Active Juijitsu - they truly deserve it!

I’ve been a member for 6 months. I love Prof Dentinho curriculum. Plenty of classes at convenient times. He focuses on concepts and intentions behind techniques rather than just demonstrating a technique. We incorporate positional sparring to get more live reps in. And finally I love the gym culture. Family and camaraderie focused. Highly recommend.

I was visiting family in Houston for a short time and I wanted to get some rolls in so I swung by for the intermediate class. I’ve only been doing BJJ for around 18 months at one gym so going to a new place in a different country was a bit of a worry for me. Needless to say the guys at Active were incredibly welcoming. It was a great session and they didn’t hold back on me 😂. The guys were incredibly good and Professor Luiz rolled with me (only my second roll with a black belt) needless to say it was educational. All in all, an amazing time and one I’ll always remember, if/when I’m back in Houston I won’t hesitate to go back to Active.

Both my daughter and I go to Active JiuJitsu. Everyone there is outstanding and their training is equally applicable to technical JiuJitsu training as to self defense, and they add in life skills for the younger students. Great training, great people, and of course great exercise. Happy to go there, happy to recommend them. :)

Active Jiu Jitsu has been a marvelous experience for our whole family. We have met new and interesting people that have become friends. This includes trainers, the owners, parents and kids alike. Because of the nature of the martial art itself and the trainers, the atmosphere is very relaxing. The smiles on the kids faces before, during and after a class says it all. Besides the physical aspect of BJJ, I will also state how much emphasis they make in the mental part with weekly themes to help the kids be better @ life. This is NOT the BJJ gym or school where your peers are out to hurt each other. Also, this is NOT the place where you pay extra to advance belts. They take the traditional Brazilian approach of earning the next belt according to years of experience. About experience, kudos to the instructors for having the vision of admitting the young kids(10-12) in helping out with the smaller aged kids classes. When you, teach you relearn. Let's talk about the location, it's conveniently situated almost @ the corner of south Wycliffe and I-10. Lots of parking. Free first trial class... That hooked us in. For the kids classes, all the kid holidays are celebrated with fun exercises. For bdays, parents bring cake or donuts without being promoted. They have " bring and train with a parent" day. Both parents and kids loved it. A community has been built and growing. Lead by example... The instructors not only say but do their craft, and that encourages students to continue. As the movie JAWS said, "They're going to need a bigger boat" eventually. This area of Springbranch is ripe for growing. Since there is only 1 Highschool in this area that has wrestling, ppl are looking to begin or continue a variation of a combat sport. As I write this all of the faces of the ppl that attend, pop to mind. Most of the parents here have done a combat sport and see the benefits for them and their children. Since it's indoors, classes are hardly cancelled. Come on by and try it.

I have been training at Active JJ since the open, before that, training under professor Luis (Dentinho) since I was a blue belt. Now I am a brown belt under professor Dentinho. He is a great professor, always willing to help when you have questions about something that I missed during the class. Now have my son training there too, and in the beginning he was very shy and now he always excited to go train with me every Saturday and we spend the whole morning together the at the Active Jiu-jitsu. Great environment and the energy is really very positive.

Professor Dentinho, a world-class instructor, creates a friendly and safe environment for all levels, whether training for hobby or competition. I started with Dentinho and Rose in Feb of 2016 and continued with them when they opened AJJ. I've received excellent training, made lasting friendships, and look forward to many years to come developing my skill-set through the help of my professors and teammates. Highly recommend AJJ to anyone looking for top-notch instruction, one of Houston’s best!

What can I say about Luis. I have known him and his wife since I was a brown belt and his Jiu Jitsu on on a completely different level than most black belts I know. He has always been a great friend and his only motivation is seeing people get better at their game. If you're looking for a really great professor and mentor I would highly recommend Active jujitsu in Katy Texas. FIVE STARS ALL DAY!!

This gym is very welcoming to anyone, and I always feel safe and respected. 10/10 recommend!!

Over 4 years back I came to the point where the same old workout was boring. At that time, I was 54 and over-weight and decided to try something different. I had serious doubts since I was older but Dentinho and Rose were very encouraging. I took the risk and signed up and discovered that BJJ as a sport was lots of fun and challenging. I met a lot of new friends and lost 35lbs. If a 58 year old man can do it then there is no excuse for anyone else to not try. I believe in life we have to take risk to improve our quality of life. I would strongly recommend this school to anyone who wants to improve their health and well being and meet new friends.

I have 2 toddler girls that attend here. Jiu jitsu class is the only thing that gets them really excited (they also take swim class and ballet/dance). I also attend the adult self defense class. Both masters (kids and adult class) show passion, respect, and discipline in their teachings. And that spills over to their students. Attending Active Jiu Jitsu is one of the best decisions I’ve made!

I recently had the opportunity to train at an excellent jiu jitsu gym, and I must say that my experience is nothing short of exceptional. The gym is well-equipped with all the necessary facilities and equipment for training, and the instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable. The atmosphere at the gym is welcoming and inclusive, with students of all levels and backgrounds training together in a supportive environment. The instructors took the time to work with each student individually, providing personalized feedback and guidance to help us improve our skills. What stood out to me most about this gym was the emphasis on technique and fundamentals. Rather than focusing solely on flashy moves or competition-style training, the instructors emphasized the importance of mastering the basics and building a strong foundation in jiu jitsu. This approach has undoubtedly helped me to become a more well-rounded and effective practitioner. Overall, I would highly recommend this jiu jitsu gym to anyone looking to learn and improve their skills in a welcoming and supportive environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you are sure to find the instruction, facilities, and community that you need to excel in your training.

I highly recommend this gym!! Amazing staff, amazing people and great way to challenge yourself to gain personal growth and learn how to think under pressure. I came across this place online and it was also suggested by a friend of mine and to be honest it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. I’ve never trained in my life before and I’m 25 lol so before joining I was intimidated by being a noob and getting beat up real quick. But once I started training from day one I realized I was completely wrong and instead I found myself in a really welcoming environment with very friendly people that would not judge or make you feel inferior just because you’re unexperienced.

I have been training with Profesor Eduardo Dentinho for about 4 years now. He’s technical understanding of the fundamentals and advanced application of Jiu Jitsu are outstanding. He’s also the most humble and down to earth professors I have experienced in my 6 years of training. His teaching style is very clear and we are always having fun in class too which is very important for me. He creates a very inclusive culture where world champions and small children feel comfortable training here. No matter what your fitness or martial arts goals are, there is literally something for everyone here at Active Jiu jitsu so feel comfortable taking a class and see if it’s a good fit for you as well.

Active Jiu Jitsu is absolutely one of the best gyms in Houston when it comes to instruction, retraining, and culture. Dentinho and Rose are the foundation of all these efforts, fostering an inclusive environment and embodying the idea that Jiu Jitsu is for everyone.

My 6 year old daughter has been going to Active Jujitsu for almost 2 years now. The instructors are knowledgeable, kind and patient. My daughter has learned techniques that she is always practicing on is at home. We also love our jujitsu community and have developed close friendships as well. We highly recommend Active Jujitsu Houston!
