We are aware of the recent arrest and serious allegations involving former employee and former member Lester Batres Jr.
As soon as we became aware of the allegations months ago, Lester was immediately terminated from all involvement with Renzo Gracie Lake Houston and permanently banned from our academy. He has not been affiliated with our team since that time.
The safety of our students, families, and community will always come first. We take matters like this extremely seriously and acted immediately once information was brought to our attention.
Out of respect for those involved and the ongoing legal process, we will not be making further public comments at this time.
