“They held a special class for ladies self-defense and I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
“Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this is the perfect place to train and grow in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and be part of the Renzo Gracie family.”

From the reviews
Professor Luke Marvin literally has BJJ in his DNA. His father is one of Houston's Original Black Belts. Professor Luke has been grappling almost his entire life. Professor Luke received his Black Belt from Master Renzo Gracie himself. I've been doing BJJ for almost 9 years.
Simply the best no-gi experience in Texas! Renzo Gracie Missouri City is top-notch: excellent facilities, a welcoming atmosphere, and an energy that drives constant growth. But the true highlight is the no-gi class with Master Hugo Duarte — a living legend of luta livre esportiva.
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Renzo Gracie! From the moment we walked in, the instructors made both my child and me feel welcome. teacher are patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in each student's progress
They held a special class for ladies self-defense and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor was hands-on and I was able to follow all the moves. She taught very practical strategies and I learned a lot in one session. The place is very clean, bright and nice vibe. I would recommend to friends and family.
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie Missouri City
Renzo Gracie Missouri City comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Renzo Gracie Missouri City
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
