1. Led by a Legend: Master Draculino
The single biggest differentiator of Gracie Barra Texas is our leadership. We are the only academy in the Houston area managed daily by a 7th Degree Coral Belt Master.
Master Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhães is not just a figurehead on a poster; he is on the mats every day, teaching, guiding, and training.
A Living Legend: As a direct student of the founders of Gracie Barra, Master Draculino is a historic figure in the sport.
Accomplished Competitor: He holds multiple titles as a Pan-American, Brazilian National, and World Medalist competitor.
** proven Professor:** He has raised generations of World Champions. Receiving instruction directly from a Coral Belt of his caliber is a rare privilege usually reserved for only a few places in the world.
2. Learn from Current World Champions
At most gyms, you are lucky to find a black belt instructor. At Gracie Barra Texas, you are learning from the absolute elite of the sport. Our coaching staff includes three active Adult Black Belt World Champions:
Lucas Valente: An active competitor at the highest level, known for his impeccable technique and modern Jiu-Jitsu game.
Andressa Cintra: A dominant force in the women’s division, reigning repeatedly as World Champion.
