Great place. The staff is amazing. The instruction it top shelf. And incredibly inviting. My little girl goes and loves it. And they invited me to start training too. Place has been a blast, and we definitely found our home to learn Jujitsu.
GB Champions is not just a gym to learn BJJ/kickboxing, it is a community. My kids have been going years. The kids’ classes are the perfect balance of energy-burning, silly fun, and disciplined learning. My kids are also learning self-discipline, accountability to their teammates, respect, and the value of being humble. I participate in the women’s BJJ classes, which is a great program as well; this is a gym where women can learn BJJ and feel comfortable, welcome, and respected.
Our 5 year old daughter has been going here for almost a year now. From the start with the free classes they let her join in, we could see how great they are with kids!
Professor Kurt brings such great energy to the classes. He is tough but nice and the kids love to work hard for high fives and pokemon card rewards 😂
I love how they combine hard work with exercise/running and a little dodgeball once in a while to get some energy out.
You really get to know other parents and kids and feel like part of the family here.
Started BJJ about 2 months ago. This place has been amazing. The atmosphere and "gym culture" is absolutely top-tier. When a guy who's in his 30s and never trained before can come in and immediately feel like he belongs - not awkward and out of place - that's something special and absolutely worth every penny.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, often simply called Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ, is a fantastic martial art that has garnered immense popularity for good reason. As a passionate member of the BJJ community, I can attest to its numerous health benefits and the sense of security it instills.
BJJ is a martial art that emphasizes ground fighting and submission holds, focusing on leverage and technique rather than brute strength. Through regular training, practitioners not only improve their physical fitness, agility, and flexibility but also enhance mental discipline and self-confidence. It's a full-body workout that promotes cardiovascular health and muscular endurance, making it an excellent way to stay in shape.
Beyond the physical advantages, learning martial arts like BJJ offers a profound sense of security. It equips individuals with practical self-defense skills, teaching them how to defend themselves in real-life situations. The confidence gained from mastering self-defense techniques is empowering and contributes significantly to personal safety.
Moreover, the BJJ community is incredibly supportive and welcoming. Training in this martial art fosters camaraderie, discipline, and respect among practitioners. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking a holistic approach to fitness, self-assurance, and community to join us on the mats. Experience the transformative journey of BJJ – it's not just a sport; it's a way of life. Join us, and together, let's strengthen both our bodies and our bonds within this amazing community!
3 months attending bjj class and its been great. Everyone trains hard but always looking out for each other not to hurt one another. Instruction is clear and to the point. So far so good. Friendly staff.
Great program great instructors great environment. They made our family feel welcome from the very start. Thanks, Gracie Barra Champions you all are awesome! 🔺️💪
We enrolled our 4 year old son few month ago. I can’t even express how happy we are with these classes . Jiu jitsu and kickboxing together. Professor Kurt, professor Juliana, Andres and all the staff are very dedicated and very passionate about what they do. Another thing is the discipline. I noticed a big difference in my son’s behavior and attitude. It’s definitely improved. So it’s not only about learning marshal arts it’s about being a good person and building a strong character. Definitely recommend Gracie barra at champions! Can’t wait to enroll my second son too.
Such an awesome learning environment for everyone wanting to learn how to better themselves. I have my son in BJJ, Kickboxing, Wrestling and he loves it. The Professors teaching here have such a love for their craft and it shows in their rapport with the kids. You will NOT regret joining!
Great BJJ gym. The instruction is top notch with Professor Andre and Professor Kurt. The students have a positive mentality and look out for each other's safety. A++
Me and my kids love it. We came with different levels of physical condition. We were able to adapt and they were realistic about each of our abilities. My youngest two never been to a gym and weren't sure if this was for them; and now they don't want to miss a day.
Phenomenal Professors and Coaches in both jiujitsu and kickboxing. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the arts. This is not a gym, this is a family and you’ll be a part of it from day one. Try our gym for a week and I promise you’ll be hooked!
This is my team, GB Champions. I love the Professors and they give top quality instruction. Training here has been the single best thing I’ve done, in the last two years, for my personal development and well being.
I love this gym so much! I’ve received excellent jiu jitsu training and have made lifelong friends. I encourage everyone to learn self-defense. Professor Andre and professor Kurt are friendly on and off the matts and everyone is super friendly.
Gracie Barra Champions has been such a blessing to the BJJ community in Houston. They undoubtedly hold themselves to the highest standard of comradery, respect and tradition. Professor Santos and Kurt always work hard to ensure that every level feels welcome and excited to train. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking to begin their Ju Jitsu journey, try MMA or take their skills to the next level. You will be pushed and supported in all of the highest ways possible. I am so very grateful to know these people. They have really done a wonderful job of creating a feeling of family in this space.
Professor Santos is a great friend and instructor, very nice academy with great people everybody make you feel as a family, Jiu Jitsu is for everyone, kids , adults and women’s and all ages . Osss
Professor is a great instructor who has a lot of experience, and truly cares about honing your skills. He can be a little tough on you, but it'd always because he really cares about you improving. Coach Rudy and coach K make the striking program really fun, and even tho it's a lot of cardio going through the classes, it always feels worth it at the end. Originally I came to the school for jujitsu and maybe some kickboxing, but now I try my best to avoid missing a boxing class.
I’d recommend this to ANYONE who wants to improve and attain a healthier lifestyle. You’ll be surrounded by inspiring individuals (kids & adults) who continuously push themselves to challenging limits in a safe & fun environment.
Very nice people and wonderful coaches. I have been going for 2 years now and it's an amazing experience. You learn something new everyday. It's highly recommended.
Great professors .. great group of people.. my wife , son and I enjoy the training here.. always helpful and make us feel at home.. the boxing instructor is awesome .. she just needs more water breaks 😂😅 great job guys
We were very excited to find GB Champions. It's such a great MMA gym that my whole family could be part of. I joined Coach K's class since my kids were doing the kids BJJ and I really enjoy the workouts. She is very motivating and really pushes you to your full potential. I have gotten a lot stronger since I started her class.
GB Champions is a great community that has workouts for everybody. Coach K's instruction has easily assisted in helping me lose 25+ lbs of fat in 6 months and build on strength. Every member is at a different skill level for different things and this gym is not just for Jiu Jitsu. If you like boxing and kickboxing conditioning, you will definitely have an instructor and class that is right for you.
Coach K & Coach Rudy are amazing coaches! I’ve learned so much in the past 2 1/2 months. The atmosphere is always very welcoming & kick boxing is the best work out I’ve ever had, thanks to the coaches!
Professor Santos has a true passion to pass on his knowledge his students, and he has a lot of knowledge. I mean, he has held the rank of black belt itself almost longer than I've been alive. In addition, his knowledge encompasses competition focus with the gi, without the gi, and also a very strong street defence mindset. Coming here as a fairly experienced purple belt I've picked up on even basic fundamental aspects of techniques I did not have before. Professor Santos has a keen eye for detail and doesn't just let you do a technique "so-so". He really dedicates himself in class to watching and making sure you get it right so you can be successful in competition or in a self-defense situation. This is important because one detail can make all the difference in the world.
It also seems his passion has grown even more in the new location which is an impressive school with a nice lounge area, separate jiu-jitsu and kickboxing/cardio/strength training areas, lots of mat space, and showers. The school is very welcoming, so if you have been thinking of trying out an effective martial art and/or getting back into shape you should definitely stop in. The only regret I have in 10 years of jiu-jitsu is not starting sooner.
I originally signed up to learn self defense and was hooked from the very first day. The owner is down to earth guy and really has a passion for jiu-jitsu. The same can be said for the coaches (Prof. Andre, Aaron) which are very knowledgeable and are great at teaching. The atmosphere is very welcoming and accepting even for a weirdo like me. Overall, the hardest step is walking in and seeing what it is about.
Great place to train every one there is friendly and helpful.they have all traing classes and skill sets from boxing to kickboxing bbq cage fighting.thet all so have champion fighters there
It's an awesome school. Prof. Andre is a World Class teacher, has a lot of experience and give you great knowledge. The school is very clean and organized. Totally Recommended!
Great group of instructors. However, I was incorrectly charged on my account several months after an injury. I gave 30 days notice for cancellation, and I was still charged. Please be aware of your card and account information after you cancel.
