A great ji-jutsu gym and learning environment. Very flexible, creative but professional with their approach to teaching and also very welcoming to newcomers. Definitely recommend to every one regardless of their level of experience with ji-jutsu. They also offer yoga classes in tandem.

I travel a good deal for work so I've had the opportunity to train at a considerable amount of BJJ gyms and I can honestly say this is one of the best gyms I've had the privilege of training at. Professor Drew is a knowledgeable practitioner and hands down one of best instructors I've had the pleasure of experiencing lessons from. He and the people at Rilion have cultivated a gym of positivity where any person at any level can train BJJ to be better. His lesson structure is exceptional and the way he runs his classes are great consisting of a beginners 1 hour drill lesson and then an hour and half of sparring. All the guys I had the chance to roll with were great at giving me pointers and were there to not only improve themselves, but any one who was there to train with them. Setting up a simple 1-month membership was also very easy (as I was only in town for 1 month) and priced fairly. Additionally, their schedule provided a chance to train almost every day and all the other instructors were immensely helpful as well. I would recommend any one from out of town or in HTX to train here. The next time my work brings me to Houston, I look forward to training here again.

Fantastic place to come train Jiu Jitsu. Drew is a top notch instructor and very high level practitioner. The other students have legit Jiu Jitsu skills and will help you learn and the gym culture is awesome. Kids class is also very good. My son loves class and made a bunch of good friends. Very engaging sport for kids. Saturday is cool for Dads because you can bring your kid at 10 for 4-7 yr class then train at 11 in adults class while the kids have fun hanging out. Check it out.

If you are looking for a place with high level jiu-jitsu and a friendly community this is the right place, Im from Brazil and since the first day I arrived in the academy Drew and everyone else made me feel really welcomed, the skills teached here consider real life treats and can be used in self-defense situations and competitions, you can see the dedication they have during the classes, making sure everyone have the safest and best environment to learn and develop their skills. Oss!

I've been training at Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The atmosphere is welcoming, the facilities are top-notch, and the sense of community is truly special. One of the standout features of Rillion Gracie is the incredible coaching staff, and Coach Drew deserves a special mention. His expertise in Jiu-Jitsu is unmatched, and his passion for teaching is evident in every class. Drew goes above and beyond to ensure that each student not only learns the techniques but also understands the principles behind them. What sets Coach Drew apart is his ability to tailor his instruction to students of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, he provides personalized guidance that helps you progress and reach your goals. Drew's commitment to the success and well-being of his students is truly commendable.

I have been training here for over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Drew is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable instructor but also a welcoming and supportive leader. The facility itself is great. Clean and well maintained, plenty of mat space,and a cool hang out area. Would recommend to anyone in the area who is interested in jiu jitsu.

Excellent training by Professor Drew, he plans a curriculum carefully and really helps new students develop their fundamentals. Belt promotion is hard, but when you do get promoted you know it's legit. I get twisted around into pretzels by blue belts half my size and strength. Gym atmosphere is very laid back and no toxic egos; everyone you roll with is there to learn and to help their partner learn. Highly recommended.

Great quick workouts that target all muscle groups, I also train jiu jitsu here and the days I work out I feel more balanced on and off the mat, for those who also train it’s the only way to warm up before a solid evening of rolls

Rilion Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Fitness is THE place to train BJJ in Houston. Drew and Stephanie teach absolutely solid fundamental and advance techniques that people of any experience level can learn and use. I've been able to level up my game substantially in the year and half that I've trained here. RGA has a welcoming, friendly environment with a great team and awesome members that make this the ideal place for anyone to learn jiujitsu.

Obsolutly amazing place. They made you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. Brand new set up. Everything is neat and well organized. They are currently offering a first class free. So for people like me not too sure about if I want to commit to anything yet is s great start. But man, I fell in love with Stephanie once I started training with her. She's extremely patient, explain everything in a detail you understand and she would repeatedly doing the skills until you get it. I was worried that since I'm the only first comer it will b too fast for me, but nothing like that. I feel super empowered and strong during the class and immediately I want to sign up for their unlimited classes. The main instructor Drew definitely know what he's doing. He got some nice skill. There are not too many students today and I got so much attention, I feel l got 90 percent of the skill just need to practice. Highly recommended place. Great to learn self defense classes and lose some weight! Lol

Great gym. I was working in Houston temporarily and found this to be a great place for a workout. The other teammates were very welcoming to visitors and really made me feel at home quick. If I lived in the area I'd definitely make this gym part of my family. I also showed up early and watched some of the kid''s program- very impressive. Drew, the main guy, is great working with kids.

I heard good things about this gym and decided to do a 1-week trial. After meeting the instructor and the students here, I signed up immediately! This gym has fantastic training partners and the instructor Drew is very helpful and has a strong competitive background. I would not hesitate to recommend my family members or friends to this academy. If you are considering starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or if you live or work close by, don't hesitate to stop by and meet the team at Rilion Gracie Academy West Houston!

There are many BJJ schools in Houston but none are like RGA West Houston. Professor Drew has top notch instruction and is technical. Now I know why he is highly sought after. The staff and students are super friendly and you feel like family when you are there. I highly recommend RGA West Houston to start or continue your journey.

All the excellent reviews and things you read about this place are true. After his trial lesson, my 5 year old jumped up and down, and begged me to enroll him at this academy. Drew and Stephanie are very talented teachers who can break down useful concepts in a fun way that my son easily understood. Be warned, the energy and smiles at this place are very contagious. I have been involved in martial arts for 15 years and I am very impressed. This place is a gem. Very friendly.

Drew is an incredible BJJ instructor. Fantastic knowledge and energy on the floor. One of the things that makes him a great instructor is that he remains a student and keeps his skill set sharp. Proud to say I train with him. I have endured the honor of training under Drew for 3 years. He is always willing to share various details to make techniques more comprehensive. Drew is definitely what a top instructor should look like. Thank you for your years of instruction.

I have had the best experience with Rilion Gracie Academies. Professor Drew is very dedicated to Jiu Jitsu, always has advice to help his students and keeps a friendly ego-free atmosphere. My 5 year old is also training under him and all his little BJJ buddies love to attend the kids class. Change your life, improve your health, give your kids the best present you can ever give them by enrolling them at an early age in Jiu Jitsu. You will love training with Drew and the RGA team.
