Gracie Humaita Huntsville Jiu Jitsu

“After having trained here with my daughter for over a year, I can confidently say these are some of the best people you will ever meet. Our coaches constantly strive to make us better warriors every day (regardless of how annoying I am!) and they really foster a family dynamic that makes us all better people!”

“I retired in September of 2022 and one of my goals was for my wife and I to finally enroll at a Gracie Academy. At 57 years old it was quite intimidating and I was concerned about past injuries flaring up and preventing me from doing well. Immediately I was put at ease by the owner Phil Riggs who is a year older than I am. Everyone at Gracie Humaita Huntsville are there not only trying to better themselves but they are trying to make you better as well. Professor Ryan is not just an incredible teacher and practitioner of Jujitsu but he is an amazing human being who really cares about this lifestyle. He holds you and himself to the highest standards. It really is so much more than a sport. The lessons I have learned over the last year have been invaluable to me and to my overall health and confidence. So if you live in the Huntsville area and are considering Jujitsu you will find no better academy anywhere than right here at Gracie Humaita Huntsville!”

“I started going to this gym in May and have loved every minute of it. Ryan our professor is very knowledgeable and gives help to any and all who need it. Every is very respectful of new people like myself. High belts always help lower belts and its more like family. I would recommend Gracie Humaita Huntsville to anyone who wants to better themselves, and learn self defense.”
