Gracie Florida Jiu-Jitsu

“I trained muay thai for the first time with Jon Michael. Excellent instructor, very insightful, great sense of humor too. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. Looking forward to bringing my daughter there to train with him.”

“This is a great gym to train….passing through or local. Came through 4 years ago and was welcomed with some solid rolls and awesome energy. Just moved here and went again yesterday with even better rolls…killer spot 🤙🏼”

“I just started at Gracie Florida with no experience and it has been amazing. Everyone is really welcoming and my self confidence has improved significantly.”

“John Michael is by far the best instructor we have ever had for martial arts. For the kids’ classes, I couldn’t BELIEVE how well he connected with them and seriously changed their lives for the better - bringing confidence, skills, discipline and respect to a seriously high level. My son is now graduating from high school and STILL embodies the principles that JM instilled in him from an early age. Cannot thank you enough for your impact on their lives”

“Both instructors and students are knowledgeable and welcoming at John Michael's jiu jitsu academy. My favorite quality is probably their sense of humor, but their kindness is helpful to someone new to the realm of jiu jitsu. I am not a full-time resident, but as others have mentioned, you can find a home, away from home, here in this community. This school recently relocated to one side of Body Exchange Boxing (see separate review for these folks) so you are best off coming in for the most accurate scheduling for both entities.”
