What students say about us

Hi, I'm Rafael Coelho
I'm the owner and head coach of the Rilion Gracie Academy
Over the past 11 years, I've been helping kids and adults gain confidence, learn discipline and become accomplished martial artists.
Life is always full of challenges and it's very to feel overwhelmed, undecisive or lack confidence it yourself.
That's where martial arts can help you gain self-mastery.
I've achieved a black belt in judo and jiu-jitsu and these arts helped achieve strength of character, resilience and the ability to overcome challenges
In July 2012, I earned my Black Belt via Master Rilion Gracie, Roger and Roggan Gracie at Rilion Gracie Academy Houston.
I've had the opportunity to teach people of all ages, background and experience levels including US Marshalls, Miami Police officers and members of the US military.
In the last 20 years, I've seen what jiu-jitsu can do for people and I'd love to share its benefit with you.
We love to see people grow
