From the reviews

Gracie Barra Texas has become family to us, we are there 6 nights a week and love every second of it. All four of our kids have joined as well as my husband and have learned so much.

★★★★★ — Morgan, Jan 2024

My kids attend classes here. These guys are good with active boys and shy girls. They have several instructors for every class, and the positive attitude really makes this a great place. The adult classes also look structured and have a competitive/non-competative feel.

★★★★★ — Ben, Jan 2024

I'm so glad there is such a strong team here in this area where I can go to stay in shape, learn BJJ from world class professors and competitors. The school is a little crowded because of how popular it is, but it's worth it to have such a variety of training partners.

★★★★★ — Janey, Feb 2018

Amazing. Draculino is so charming... Like having Renzo in Texas.... the passion he has... Would love to train with him again. The specifc sparring, using King of the hill made good use of the space... Shame I had no time to train some of the Muay Thai, which looked amazing.

New to muay thai? Start at Gracie Barra Texas, Houston - Jiu Jitsu in Webster / League City, TX

Gracie Barra Texas, Houston - Jiu Jitsu in Webster / League City, TX comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, 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 to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at Gracie Barra Texas, Houston - Jiu Jitsu in Webster / League City, TX

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
