"My life is dedicated to Jiu-Jitsu. My goal was simply to build a brotherhood to lead the expansion of BJJ while respecting the essence of our art. My students are an extension of my family. I want each one of them to achieve their personal best while helping spread Jiu-Jitsu. We must do that honoring the traditions and efforts of those who came before us."

That’s what they are talking about us

Brice Woolard

My 3 sons ages 4, 6, and 8 are loving this school. The instructors are clearly skilled and are great teachers. They know all the students by name and really push them to improve. Very pleased to be a part of this school!

Tina Collum

Such a good atmosphere for learning! Professor Milton and the assistant coachs are all amazing. Both myself and my children attend classes and I could not be happier with the school. Out of the martial art schools we looked into and did trial classes at, this school is by far the best choice

Clemente Rodriguez

I highly recommend anyone to come try a class here at Gracie Barra College Station. Professor Milton along with Coach Amanda and Daniel have classes for everyone in all levels of BJJ. Apart from great instructors, the school has a welcoming environment and great atmosphere. Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to better yourself and achieve whatever personal goals you have set for yourself.

Glen H

Professor Milton, Amanda, and Daniel are professional, friendly, and the instruction is excellent at conveying the concepts of Jiu Jitsu. The other students are very friendly and welcoming as well. This is a great place to get involved in martial arts, especially if you’re new to Jiu Jitsu.v
