Carlson Gracie North has been absolutely life-changing for my two daughters! From day one, the energy, the discipline, and the dedication from the entire team have blown me away. Team Bailey especially—what an incredible group of mentors. They don’t just teach jiu-jitsu… they build confidence, character, and courage. My kids look up to them in every way, and the progress they’ve made is unbelievable.

The environment is welcoming, motivating, and feels like one big family. If you’ve ever thought about joining—don’t second-guess yourself. Do it. This place is the real deal.
I recommend Carlson Gracie North to everyone. Whether you’re looking for top-tier training, amazing coaches, or a safe and inspiring place for your kids to grow—this is it.

Carlson Gracie North Houston

Professor Mona Bailey
Her being the the 1st Black Belt female out of the Carlson Gracie team in Texas
That’s Set the Tone.
We started with our little one being 3 years 7 months old
As soon as he places his first step In the mats with the quality of coaches, you can already tell he was going to fell In love with jui jitsu.
The patience, the energy the confidence the knowledge of professor Mona and her Staff shows in the mat it’s outstanding.
Now our little one shows so much discipline, confidence and determination no only on the Mat but also at Home.
I recommend The Bailey Team to anyone who would love their kids to become confidence and better at themselves.
Both my son and daughter train here, and the positive impact on their confidence, discipline, and overall well-being has been incredible. The coaches are not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each student’s growth... on and off the mat.
The environment is welcoming and family-oriented. It’s more than just jiu-jitsu; it’s a community. Seeing my children push themselves, gain new skills, and celebrate their progress has been such a rewarding experience.
I can’t recommend Carlson Gracie North Houston enough... it’s been such a blessing for our family.
New location for an amazing team. This location is ran by Professor Mona Bailey. If you are looking to start or need a new home for jiujitsu this is an amazing team. I have known Mona since she was a young girl training jiujitsu. She is a phenomenal competitor and practitioner and coach. The Bailey family is a Jiujitsu family and take care of people like family.
Grand Opening was very impressive. The number of black-belted competitors was next-level, and plenty of skilled kids/teenagers as well. Global Martial Arts has a new neighbor with a bjj focus so not direct competition except as to BJJ but I think they will both be better off for each other relatively close by (by Texas standards, practically neighbors). Glad to see quality places like these are popping up on the regular because this seems to indicate that the sport is not reaching a plateau in our extended area (Harris County). Welcome Team Bailey!
I started here about a year ago as a brand-new white belt and I couldn’t be happier. The gym itself is very clean and professional. They have classes as early as 6am, and as late as 7:15pm so it can accommodate nearly anyone’s work/school schedule.
The atmosphere of the gym and all the members is what really shines though. In my year I’ve not ran into any form of negative attitude at all. Everyone is extremely welcoming, helpful, and family oriented. Every instructor goes the extra mile for you, regardless of your belt or experience level or anything like that.
Whether you are a day one white belt like me, or a high-level black belt looking for world class training – Dream Art is the spot.
Learn from and train with some of the best Jiu Jitsu athletes in the world. The gym is one of nicest you will find. From the first day you will feel welcome and part of the team. Awesome gym. 🤙😎
Professors Jon and Marco were extremely welcoming and had great teaching style. I dropped in for a class visiting from out of town and was welcomed as if I was a full time member. Come train here if you want to learn world class competitors!
I love everything about this Brazilian jiu-jitsu club. Such a good place for both kids and adults. Both my husband and son train here and it has been a life-changing place. I am also currently enrolling my other son since I see gradual changes in my oldest one. Vinicius is such an incredible coach with lots of patience. You will love his way of handling different kids. Also, what I love the most is that every single trainer are world-class active professionals, so you can be sure your kids will look up to them like big brothers. Therefore you don't feel that they come only to train but to live the experience. There are girls' trainers too which give your daughters something to look up to. It's full of dedicated professionals such as Vinicius, Marcos, Sabrina, Carlos, Pedro and many others. I'm so grateful for this place as it is not easy to find a place where my kids can train with world champions and future champions. It is worth the money. Thank you Vinicius for the unwavering support to our kids and thank you, Marcos, Sabrina, and all the staff for being good examples to our kids❤️
My experience at this gym has been amazing. You get a chance to train with top level athletes and the instructors are super friendly and helpful.
I highly recommend this place if you're interested in jiujitsu.
I was traveling for business and had some extra time to train. Decided to hit up Dream Art and am so glad that i did. What a beautiful facility with great people. Professor Vinni was more than welcoming as well as professor Carlos and the students. Being that I was traveling I did not have a Gi so Professor Vinni provided a loaner Gi for me to train in. This is a world class gym with world class Instruction ran by world class athletes. If you're looking for a home gym or are just traveling and want to get in some great train this is the place!
Great place to train with world class training partners and instructors! Made the switch here as a black belt and it has made a drastic change in my game. Great place for beginners to world class athletes!! If you do an intro class I guarantee you will sign up that day.
As an extremely out of shape middle age guy, I was very hesitant to try out jiu jitsu, seem a little too physical, like all the fighters in ufc appear to be. No judgement from anyone, all encouragement, despite me not able to run a lap without being out of breath. Dream art has great people and amazing instructors that makes learning a new skill fun.
I believe if you are looking for a comfortable environment and a place where you will develop your jiu jitsu, Dreamart is that place! several well qualified high level jiujitsu instructors. not to mention that among them there are several world champions and athletes who are still active. If you want me to tell you a place "this is the place"
The attention to detail in both instruction and facility maintenance is evident. Safety is a top priority, and the sense of community within the academy is truly inspiring. Every session feels like training with close friends.
This is an awesome place to be for BJJ and get a full on exercise.
It is a welcoming environment, outstanding professors, and great for kids and adults.
This is the place if you want to...
- learn the arts of BJJ
- train for competition
- get fit <----- Me
High level team. Amazing people around ! Stepping into Dream Art, one is immediately struck by its pristine cleanliness and obvious commitment to safety. The well-maintained space ensures everyone can train comfortably, but it's the top-of-the-class instruction that truly sets this gym apart. For those seeking an unparalleled BJJ experience in a welcoming environment, this is the place to be!
DreamArt BJJ is like a magical realm where people voluntarily roll around on the floor trying to strangle each other, and I love it!
The instructors here are like BJJ wizards, teaching you the mystical art of grappling with a dash of personal flair. They've turned me from a flailing mess into a slightly less flailing mess!
The mats are comfier than my bed at home, and the atmosphere is so friendly that even the mats seem to smile. Plus, they have a secret weapon – a water fountain that pours Michael Jordan’s secret stuff. 👀
In all seriousness, if you want to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while having a ton of fun, DreamArt BJJ is the place to be. They've got the technique, the laughs, and the coolest gis in town!
I have been to 7 different gyms
to find a gym that fits for my family. After 6 years of searching we have finally found our home. Very nice facility and kid friendly. The coaches here are very knowledgeable and willing to help no matter the skill level. I have 4 kids and myself attending classes. I must say that if you haven’t done so, you should definitely try. If not for yourself, then for your kids. Amazing art/sport to learn.
I visited the place once The people are wonderful, the place is clean, and most importantly, the gym is full of world champions, and this is what the fighter who is looking for improve his game.

I had such a great time training at this gym! I visited from another state to train the week leading up to a tournament. The instructors and training partners were incredibly accommodating and friendly. Rafael and Isaque are great instructors. Carlos and Isaque will break down their techniques that they use to win world titles in an accessible way. I can't recommend this gym enough and I can't wait to visit again.
Dream Art USA Houston is the place to be if you are looking to take your game to the next level. With world champion instructors as well as other training partners. The facility has plenty of mat space and everyone is super professional. I would recommend this school to anyone who is asking about the best jiu jitsu academy in Houston TX
The lead instructor at Dream Art are world class top of the food chain athletes. It’s really cool to have elite male and female black belts coaching and leading the team. The facility is beautiful built and thought out!
Great environment! The gym is a great open area, clean and comfortable. Staff is very responsive, instructors are very friendly, welcoming and the teaching style makes it easy to learn. Very inspiring team here! My son and husband are excited every time they come from class.
Visited during their soft open / seminar. The gym was phenomenal such a great space to roll The training was high level and the coaches were approachable and welcoming. I will be returning for any and all future open mats!
High level training with world champion professors and athletes in every class. Professors Isaque and Anna are so welcoming and attentive in every class to make sure you understand the drills and techniques. It is always refreshing to see women on the mats daily there and their classes are great for beginners or seasoned athletes. To top it off the facility is beautiful!
I Have been training here since the opening. Isaque and Anna have been very professional. The team they have training there are extremely polite and highly technical. I have truly enjoyed my time there so far. The gym is always very clean, and the technique and training is top notch. I would highly recommend this gym if you’re looking for a place to train.
I had a wonderful time at their opening! Everything was so clean, everyone was so nice and welcoming. I look forward to visiting again! Exciting times for jiu jitsu.

Money grab scam
They claim to hold open mats and I attended one. Tried to attend again but was told that my open mat counted as a trial class and that I had to pay a huge amount of money or leave. I didn't even get a trial class. I think they are intimated tbh
