“Every time we were on fight week, I’ve been fortunate enough to receive private training from him, and I’ve learned a great deal about my Jiu-Jitsu game, even as an amateur.”
“They also have open mats on Friday 10-12nn where anyone can join for FREE as long as they sign the waiver!”

From the reviews
Great Jitsu gym! Super professional staff, very clean and well maintained. Coach Joe is a great coach and has excellent Jitsu. My son and I dropped by to visit some friends that train here and we had a great time! If you live in Pearland I’d definitely recommend training here! ❤️❤️❤️
This place is incredible. My wife and I became interested in putting our son in Jiu Jitsu after reading about all of the positive values it can help develop in kids. Discipline, attention to detail, self confidence, and self control were attributes we hoped he would strengthen all while being physically active.
First moment you walk into the doors of Renzo Pearland, they make you feel like you’re family. Professor Joe & Ben are first class, with so much knowledge to share. Coach Angelo’s Competition classes have leveled up my Jiu jitsu game to new heights! The facility itself is clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!
My 8-year-old daughter trains at a Renzo Gracie gym in the Austin area, and we signed her up for a JJWL tournament in Houston, assuming one of her coaches would be attending. Unfortunately, her coach was unable to make it at the last minute.
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie Pearland
Renzo Gracie Pearland comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Pearland
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.
