our story

For over 5 years, Cypress Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has taken great pride in teaching the gentle art of Jiu Jitsu. Introduced to the United States by the Gracie Family, Jiu Jitsu continues to positively impact the lives of thousands. At our school, you will find our instructors to be business men and fathers who are dedicated to enrich their lives both personally and professionally. Their Jiu Jitsu strongly reflects this understanding. With dozens of our members being fathers and their children, an environment of joy and laughter is created. We are honored to have shaped such a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

About the Instructor

My name is Ricco and I am a Jiu Jitsu fanatic. Like most people I was introduced to Gracie Jiu Jitsu in 1993 when the rest of the United States first saw the "Gracie Train" in a little known pay per view event called the Ultimate Fighting Championship created by visionary Rorion Gracie. Since then I was hooked. With the best job in the world I get to travel all over the US and Canada for work training sales people during the day and moonlighting as a Jiu Jitsu "mat rat" at the best schools in the country.

This passion lead me to help start a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in Cypress, Texas. What started as a group of 6 guys in US Military veteran Brent Elrod's garage has grown into a 50 strong school known as Cypress Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We are a proud affiliate of Royce Gracie Black Belt Tony Torres-Aponte's Urban Jungle in Houston, Texas.
