What an incredible start to an unforgettable week! 🥋🔥

Master Leão Teixeira has officially arrived in Texas, and we went straight to Youngsville, Louisiana, to visit my friend and the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu community there.

Two incredible days of training, an amazing seminar, and so many great moments on the mats. It was an honor to train, learn, and share Jiu-Jitsu together.

Now we’re heading back to Houston for a full week of training, seminars, private lessons, and activities with Master Leão.

The best is yet to come! 🥋🇧🇷🇺🇸

Before Brazil plays against Japan on Monday in Houston, FIFA came by Gracie Jiu Jitsu Houston and the place was alive! We had jiu jitsu lovers rolling on the mats and Brazilian soccer fans ready to cheer on their team. It’s moments like these that remind us why our community is so unique. From jiu jitsu to soccer, we’re all here to celebrate together. 🇧🇷⚽️🥋

Straight from Rio to Houston. 🇧🇷➡🇺🇸

Professor Jackson Fortunato at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Houston recently had the privilege of training with Master Leão Teixeira, 8th Degree Coral Belt, founding member of Gracie Barra, and one of the most respected instructors in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, at the legendary Escola de Jiu-Jitsu Leão Teixeira in Rio de Janeiro.

From technical exchanges on the mat to sharing decades of knowledge and experience, the visit was a reminder that the journey of learning in Jiu Jitsu never ends.

The journey continues in Houston. Master Leão Teixeira will soon be joining us for a special seminar at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Houston. More details coming soon. Stay tuned!

After over 30 years together, Kenn and Dorothy, both Master Cycle® students at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Houston, are still finding new ways to grow. Martial arts have been a constant in their journey. Dorothy saw how Jiu Jitsu transformed Kenn’s mindset and confidence. Inspired, she tried it herself and quickly fell in love with the art. They’ve trained in Canada and France, and now they have the opportunity to share the mats once again, learning and growing together under Professor Jackson’s guidance. “Gracie Jiu Jitsu Houston is an incredible place to train, and we’re truly grateful to be part of this family.”

Jiu Jitsu teaches one simple truth: the mat doesn’t care how big you are, only how well you adapt. Every round is a lesson in staying calm under pressur. Leverage, not ego, wins the day.

Small victories, strong character.
