ABOUT OUR COACHING TEAM

Renzo Gracie Riverstone Jiu-Jitsu black belt instructors posing on train tracks in Houston, including Professor Brian, Professor Jamie, Professor Shadia, Professor Kay, and Professor Chriss in gi uniforms.

At Renzo Gracie Riverstone, every class is led by a black belt and every student is coached with purpose. Founded by U.S. Army veteran Professor Brian Marvin, our academy was built on loyalty, service, and discipline. Professor Shadia, a LEO veteran and a teacher, brings structure and care to help kids grow through confidence and respect. Professor Jamie leads the adult program with sharp technical precision, empowering students of all levels to improve with clarity and purpose. Professor Kay focuses on women’s instruction bridging strength with strategy through one-on-one guidance.

At the drawing board is Professor Chriss, shaping student progress from the ground up, one technique, one breakthrough at a time. With over 220+ students trained, 80+ happy families, and a 95% completion rate.

Our mission is simple: help students become stronger, more confident, and more resilient on and off the mats.
