I've never studied Jiu-Jitsu but I knew of it from when I trained Judo in the past. I was always…read moreimpressed by what the Gracie Family accomplished in the UFC and how BJJ changed martial arts forever. I gave Patrick Head at United MMA in Nederland TX a call and tried a free lesson in Jiu-Jitsu and Boxing the following day. Immediately I was hooked! The facility was spotless, the students treated one another like a family and the instruction is top notch. Two of my children and I train regularly and love it. I recommend United MMA in Nederland to everyone I meet and as far as I'm concerned there is only one place to practice Gracie Jiu Jitsu and MMA.

My 15 y/o started first and this peaked my interest so I joined. Now, my 11 y/o wants to start. The instructors and the people that train here are so helpful in teaching and they want you to learn. This is a great attitude to have especially when working with people who are beginners. They actually take the time to make sure you understand the fundamentals. This creates trust and gives the school a "family" atmosphere. All of this starts with Professor Jaime Gomez. He is a great teacher that mixes knowledge, talent, passion, personality, compassion and humor into his instruction. I am so thankful I heard about this school. I look forward to going to train every chance I get!!!!

At our school, you will receive hands-on attention from our coaches, who will monitor your progress in a clean, safe, and family-friendly environment. Our professors and instructors are trained under the Gracie Barra Curriculum created by Master Carlos Gracie Jr. and are also IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) certified. The instructors are also certified by the Gracie Barra Association and have years of experience in teaching, competing and studying the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I am extremely disappointed with the way this gym has been handled recently. A coach made comments…read moreand decisions that came across as discriminatory toward children with autism, which is completely unacceptable in any environment involving kids. My wife has dedicated years helping and supporting students here, only to be told that her class was "geared toward kids like that," in a disrespectful and dismissive manner. No parent or staff member should ever be made to feel that children with special needs are a problem or less deserving of respect and inclusion. What's even more concerning is that the owner has allowed a newer coach to create a toxic and unprofessional atmosphere without stepping in. Leadership matters, and unfortunately it seems the professionalism and values this place once had are no longer being upheld. Because of this experience, I would not feel comfortable bringing my children back here, nor would I recommend this gym to other families.

This gym is easily the best place to train no gi jiu jitsu in the southeast Texas area. Not to…read moremention the kickboxing and mma programs are excellent as well. It's a wonderful facility with tons of mat space. The instructors are extremely knowledgable and super supportive and helpful! Also, the mats are cleaned every day after practice which is awesome! The atmosphere is super friendly and all the students help each other get better at this combative martial art. The program is absolutely the best option to help you lose weight, because it's so fun you don't even realize you've exercised so much. Also you're learning a valuable and dominant form of self defense that can help you survive and function during any possible form of violence in the streets. (Hopefully you won't have to use it; but it's better to know how to handle yourself and not need it than the other way around.) As I mentioned before, everyone is super supportive and helpful of each other. And if you're nervous about coming in and getting "roughed up"; that is absolutely not the case. Beginners start slowly and everyone is mindful of new students. Also, the instructors never put a "spotlight" on students which can make some people self-conscious. Instead, the instructors show everything in detail and answer questions. Then you break into groups of 2 and practice the move. That being said, this is an excellent sport to get involved with a friend!

Whether your goals are related to losing weight, self defense, or you just want to change up your workout routine, the instructors here will be 100% on board with whatever your goal is. Furthermore, there are many active, high level and even world champion competitors that train here, so if you have your eyes set on competing, look no further! Also, they have a great kids program. One great benefit of training at a school w/ a large number of students, such as GBTX, is the variety of training partners you get to train with! I joined in Sept'18 and still love it. I had about 5 months previous bjj training experience at another academy but that was a very long time ago. If you are new to bjj, I hope that you dedicate yourself to learning the art and stick with it!!
