Testimonials

Walking into a gym where I feel like there is never a situation where I felt that I was at risk of being injured is very important to me.

Jiu-jitsu has changed my life fundamentally in a way that I am better at work, I am a better father, and a better person in general.

Jiu-jitsu gives you the confidence to fight back, control your opponents, make sure you show them you are not some push-over.

Giorgio & Rafaele Galante

“He’s been bullied at school. I felt that this would help him and not let these kids do what they were doing to him…. He’s actually friends with his bullies now.”

Arty Beckler​

Martial arts has been such a huge part of my life and now my son gets to train here and it’s such a huge part of who he is, he loves it and it’s been so good for him. He’s a very shy kid and I’ve seen him come out of his shell.

The way the class is taught was incredibly helpful for my brain… here they really teach you how, they break it down into the ‘how to’ steps.

Why People Love Us

Recently brought my 4 year old daughter in to give it a try and she absolutely loved it. I thought she would be intimidated and wouldn’t like it but everyone was so friendly and welcoming, they made us feel right at home. The coaches are super attentive and make class really enjoyable for kids her age. I look forward to watching her grow at Gracie University.

Liza Galda

I’ve been really impressed with this Gracie Jiu Jitsu facility. The place is always spotless and incredibly well-organized, which makes for a really comfortable training environment. Everything is clean from the mats to the locker rooms and it’s clear that they take hygiene seriously. On top of that, everyone who works there is genuinely helpful and friendly. The staff and instructors go out of their way to make you feel welcome and supported. It’s a great atmosphere all around, and I highly recommend it!

Aaron

I’m 30 years old and had never stepped foot into a martial arts class until recently. My first Gracie University Combatives class far exceeded even my highest expectations. I felt so welcomed—by both instructors and students—empowered, encouraged, and motivated, and I was immediately hooked. Gracie University has dramatically changed my life for the better, and I’m so grateful!

Elizabeth Pedraza

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu’s Mat Munchkins program for young children is quite good with their incredible instructors! They are exceptionally patient with young children, and their ability to connect with our kid has made all the difference. Our child, who can sometimes be a bit hesitant with new activities, now looks forward to coming to class every single week because the instructors make it so interesting and fun. The instructors deliver their age appropriate lessons with warmth and encouragement. It’s clear they genuinely care about fostering a positive and engaging learning environment where kids feel comfortable, confident, and excited to participate.

Suren Rajasekaran

The staff consistently reinforces values like focus, respect, dedication, discipline, and confidence. These are the very principles I try to instill at home, and it’s a blessing to see them reinforced on the mat. It’s clear they’re not just building strong athletes they’re shaping strong, respectful, and confident young people.

If you’re a parent looking for a program that builds character as much as it teaches technique, I highly recommend Gracie University. It’s everything I believe every youth needs to get a head start in life.

Rick Hern

Amazing place!!! It is truly wonderful to see my child actually enjoying something!!! It’s awesome because there are so many kids and more than enough coaches to look after every kid to experience the same. Because of a lot of kids, kids learn from each other. The best part is how enthusiastic coaches are. They know how to grab attention from children. Their programs to teach and learn respect is another level of education. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!!!
