About Gracie Barra

Katy, Texas

The Gracie Barra School in Katy, Texas, was founded in October 2006 and offers world-class-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, Kickboxing, Boxing, Strength & Conditioning, as well as MMA training and instruction for Children, Adults, Families, Corporations, Law Enforcement, and US Military Personnel. In addition, it has acquired a world-class reputation for Physical Education, Character Development, and the advancement of hybrid training protocols in a family-friendly environment. 

All Gracie Barra Katy classes are aligned with the Gracie Barra Program Structure developed by Master Carlos Gracie Jr. to meet the specific learning needs of people with different ages, genders, and athletic levels. Our clean, friendly, and progress-oriented environment allows our students to have a challenging, inspirational, and comfortable training experience that always makes them feel like coming back. In addition, each student receives an 8"x 6" attendance card with their picture and program of study on the cover.  Prior to the start of class, they pull their respective card from a file on the front desk, bring it into class, and hand it to their professor or coach. Their card will be updated by our staff on a daily basis and returned to the file to be pulled by the student prior to his or her next class. This process allows us to monitor and document their attendance, as well as discuss individual progress and promotions among the coaching staff.  

It would be appropriate to say that our school is for everyone and anyone who is looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, and improve the overall quality of their lives. In addition, our family-oriented environment is a perfect place to teach your children safety awareness and social skills and develop the confidence, concentration, and self-esteem necessary to view challenges as opportunities for improvement rather than obstacles to success.  

At GBK, you will receive hands-on attention from world-class instructors who will monitor your progress in a clean, safe, and family-friendly environment. Our certified professors and instructors were trained under the Gracie Barra Curriculum created by Master Carlos Gracie Jr., with their performance constantly reviewed and assessed by our professors. The GBK goal is to effectively train everyone with or without a martial arts background and make them feel part of the Gracie Barra Family.
