This happened a couple years ago, so I can't speak to how things are handled there now. But I had a…read morenegative experience trying to contact the Westchase flagship location about a serious concern connected to my experience at another affiliated location. The concern involved safety, conduct, and how issues involving staff or members were being handled. I made four separate calls to four different people, was unable to get a hold of anyone, left my callback information, and explained generally that I was trying to raise a serious concern that I believed warranted awareness or oversight. I did not receive a callback or meaningful follow-up. I am not reviewing any one person individually. My concern is that I attempted to raise a serious issue through multiple channels connected to the flagship location and was met with silence. With time, what stands out to me most is not only the original situation, but the lack of meaningful follow-up when I tried to raise it through what I understood to be appropriate channels. That kind of non-response leaves things unresolved. It also leaves the person who raised the concern carrying the consequences alone. In a martial arts environment, especially one involving physical training and close contact, trust and safety depend not only on what happens on the mat, but also on whether concerns can be raised and handled responsibly. From my experience at the time, I did not feel there was a reliable process for escalation, accountability, or member support.

The class was great and I had great training partners during our rolls. I highly recommend this school for locals AND visitors. When I do return in the future, I plan visit Professor and his team at Active Jiu Jitsu! THANK YOU!

I trained Jiujitsu…read moremany years ago at a different gym but the training was so unorganized and caused many injuries to students, including myself. I hesitated to go back to jiujitsu because most schools throw inexperienced people in a room and say "go at it"! This leads to a ton of injuries. NOT at GJJ Houston!!! I came to a free seminar at this Gracie Certified Training Center in Houston run by Professor Jackson Fortunato. This gym runs a very structured and very safe school that is backed with an amazing curriculum created by Gracie University. They believe everyone can learn jiujitsu and not have to worry about the "only the strong belong" mentality. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. They have classes for every age and everyone in the family! Come out and try a free 10 day trial at an awesome place to train!

He talks with you, and he actually work out with you. He doesn't just sit or stand there and tell you what to do. His work out is super duper intense but it's well worth the money. I couldn't do it all in the first session but he's been patient with me. I've been training with him for awhile and have lost 30lbs. I'm not doing the mma or boxing training. Just the lose weight program he got. I get to eat whatever I want, as long as I'm doing his exercises, I'm still losing the weight I need. I know $100 an hour seems a lot but like I said, it's worth it, and he also throws in a couple free training sessions or discounted price if you book with him continuously.
