There’s something seriously special happening at Renzo Gracie The Woodlands—and it all starts with owner Casin Oliver and his powerhouse team of coaches. This isn’t just another gym; it’s a vibrant community where kids, teens, and adults are learning martial arts, building confidence, and having a blast while doing it.
Meet Casin Oliver
Casin’s martial arts journey kicked off 13 years ago with a simple goal: stay active. But it didn’t take long for him to fall head over heels for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. That spark turned into a mission, and today Casin leads a gym that’s all about growth, grit, and giving people the tools to succeed—on and off the mat.

Saving a Gym, Growing a Legacy
Renzo Gracie The Woodlands didn’t start from scratch. Casin and his team stepped in to revive a local training space that was about to shut down—and they didn’t just save it. They leveled it up. “This wasn’t just about keeping the lights on,” Casin says. “It was about saving a space that mattered to a lot of people and turning it into something even bigger.”
Today, it’s a place where beginners feel welcome, competitors feel challenged, and families find something they can do together.
🥋 What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that focuses on ground fighting and grappling. Think of it like a physical chess match—it’s all about technique, leverage, and strategy. Practitioners learn how to defend themselves and control opponents using joint locks, holds, and submissions. BJJ is ideal for people of all sizes and strengths because it emphasizes skill over strength. It builds confidence, discipline, and problem-solving skills—and it’s also a fantastic workout.
Why it’s great for kids: BJJ helps kids develop balance, coordination, focus, and respect for others—all while having fun! It encourages perseverance and teaches that success comes from effort and consistency. And because it’s non-striking, it’s a safe and controlled way for kids to learn self-defense and boost their self-esteem.
🥊 What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai, often called “the art of eight limbs,” is a striking martial art from Thailand that uses punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. It’s fast-paced, powerful, and exciting. But it’s more than just combat—Muay Thai is also a mental and physical challenge that builds agility, strength, endurance, and self-confidence. Under the guidance of passionate coaches like Coach Phillipe, students learn technique, resilience, and how to push past their limits in a positive, team-focused environment.
Why it’s great for kids: Muay Thai is a fantastic outlet for energy and helps kids improve focus, coordination, and self-control. It teaches respect, structure, and discipline—key life skills wrapped up in a fun and empowering experience. With age-appropriate instruction and a supportive environment, kids feel safe, encouraged, and inspired to grow.

Real Growth, Real Results
Ask Casin what lights him up the most, and he won’t hesitate: “Seeing people grow. Watching someone walk in nervous on day one and eventually dominate a technique they once struggled with—that’s the magic.”
Whether it’s a young student landing their first takedown or a parent who finally nails that submission they’ve been working on, the vibe here is supportive, motivating, and seriously inspiring.
Why This Team Stands Out
Renzo Gracie The Woodlands is home to a world-class coaching staff—each with championship backgrounds, unique teaching styles, and a shared passion for helping others thrive. They don’t just teach martial arts—they teach discipline, confidence, and resilience.
And they live by one clear motto: “Discipline over everything.” That means showing up, putting in the work, staying humble, and always having each other’s backs.
Not Just a Gym—It’s a Family
