My daughter and husband have been going here for two months and they treat all of us like family. My daughter loves it and leaves excited everyday. She loves coach Jackie, Rind and Eddie.

Two weeks in and they already made me and my daughter feel like family. Great people here. Everyone has there reason for joining but it feels like everyone is on the same page. Great atmosphere

Our daughter enjoys her classes, roll mates and her coaches. She learns something new each week and looks forwards to her lessons. Classes are flexible. And great attitude amongst all students and teachers.

This place is awesome. The instructors and people are great and you cant get a better value. Friendly, but serious about getting better and learning. This place has done a lot for me physically and mentally, cant recommend it enough.

Me and my son started the adult class, we are green as green gets. All of the instructors and other students completely make you feel like they want you to learn and go out of their way to make sure of it. Open arms, that is what helped me break all my hesitation. Thanks

What a great gym. Trained here four days in a row while on vacation. Theyre super friendly, teach a wide variety of techniques, and are so welcoming to visitors. Thanks everyone for the great rolls and thanks Eddie for having such a great gym and community. Anyone visiting Houston ought to get on these mats!

Great school! They offer lots of options!

Eddy is amazing with all the kids! I kid you not, not only has Eddy and his teachings getting my son in line with the discipline through jujitsu, but my son is gaining the confidence he has desired while learning self defense! 🙌

Ive only gone to a couple of classes but I already am in love with it. I trained before at Gracie Barra and my first day I was thrashed around and tossed like a rag doll by all the higher belts for their practice. I came to this school and every class, every time Ive rolled someone was never intentionally trying to hurt me and actually tried to teach me something. Highly recommend and hope to see you there.

The training is awesome. Wonderful training partners. Eddie is an excellent teacher. Hes amazing with kids. If your a woman that wants to train, or would love to learn some realistic self defense, then you should check this place out! There are great ladies who train consistently. Bring your kids, bring your friends you wont be disappointed. My whole family attends. I love Ground Dwellers.

Ive been training here for 3 years now and every month I fall more in love with this place and the people here.Eddie is not only a great instructor and coach, but a fantastic person and friend. The culture that Eddie has fostered here is built on family, friendship and love for all things martial arts.If youve been waiting for a reason or a sign to kick start a new chapter in your life, this is it.What are you waiting for?! Get in here and train!

Just started my boys about 1 1/2 month ago. (9 & 11 yr.old) I was worried that maybe they werent going to like it. After the 3rd week they said theyre in it to win it... We love the atmosphere and the instructor is awesome with kids!

After trying many schools in the are we just finished our 1st class. My son is 13. He was patient and aware of his newest student. We have finally found a place to develop some confidence. Recommended highly.

After coming to this gym for a few months now as a white belt in the beginners classes, its a good environment that fosters effective learning. You cant beat the price for just getting into BJJ of $20 a month for Tuesdays and thursdays classes plus open mat on the weekend. At no point did I feel pressured into anything I wasnt comfortable with and coach Eddie and even the other higher belts take time to show us newbies proper technique at open mat.Over all this place as cultivated a love of grappling out of a curiosity and I highly recommend it for anyone with even a vague curiosity like I had.

Great place, awesome prices. Becomes your second family. Ive dropped 50 pounds in the first three months of being here. I love this place and would recommend it to everyone

I have been a member fot about a year now and i have to say i love this place. Master Eddie does a great job not only with me but with the kids as well. I enjoy how he takes the time to explain himself to me over and over well to everyone in class.

This Dojo and Jujistu Gym has been my saving grace. Jackie and Eddie are remarkable and pro Military. They have made a huge difference in my life and the lives of all that train here. This place is PERFECT to bring your family to learn jujistu. Thank yall so much for including me in your jujistu family!

Great place to train. family friendly environment with a flexible schedule and amazing instructors.

Eddie is a great Black Belt with a ton of experience. Hes also one of the nicest coaches you will ever meet. I highly recommend Eddie Avelar and Ground Dwellers Jiu jitsu Academy

Great instruction and facility, family atmosphere, and competitive prices. Eddie and all the people that make up Ground Dwellers are just good people, and if you want to learn and train jiu jitsu, kickboxing, MMA and/or Filipino martial arts in a safe, knowledgeable, and fun environment in North Houston, then GD is the place for you.

Eddie is true martial artist
