Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Elk Grove

“This is a nice center to train at. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The facility is fairly large. The mats appear to be cleaned at least once daily when the facility is open. This training center is family-friendly, in my experience. The Gracie training system itself is a big plus because it is systematic and objective. There are specific numbered classes that teach specific techniques. These classes are consistent across the associated Gracie Jiu-Jitsu training centers in other locations. There are specific classes and a specific time period that is required to test for a belt. You can keep track of what classes you've taken and what classes you need to take to qualify for testing. Advancement to a higher-level belt is not based only on a subjective judgment from the instructor that you are ready. Of course, even if you've taken the required classes, it is useful to know the techniques well. There are also videos available which explain the fine points of each technique.”

“Gracie Jiu-Jistu Elk Grove is a five star facility from top to bottom. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient and thorough. They stress safety by going slow and steady through a structured curriculum. Personally, it’s allowed me to go at my own pace and solidify the techniques they are teaching. I also appreciate that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Elk Grove focuses on the self defense aspect of the martial art. Through their curriculum, it’s not only building a foundation for self defense, but it’s also giving me the confidence to react in a situation if one should arise. Gracie offers programs for adults, women, children and law enforcement. The facility is immaculate. The space is bright and airy. The training mat is expansive and clean. They provide locker rooms for men and women. As well as showers. Oh, and there is always parking out front. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Elk Grove offers a 10-day free trial. They provide you with a uniform and a rash guard for the length of the free trail. If you ask me, it’s a win-win situation. You have nothing to lose. If you decide to participate in the free trial based on my review, tell them Sergio sent you. ;)”

“From the moment I stepped into the Academy, I’ve only had positive experiences. The instructors, led by Jason, immediately made me feel at home. The facility is impeccably clean, with separate locker rooms and showers for men and women, spanning two stories for training. Bernard demonstrated a technique on my first day that convinced me to commit. Jason, Bernard, and Haley exemplify professionalism and genuine care, always ready to assist. They’re not just instructors; they’re exceptional individuals willing to go the extra mile. After work, I eagerly anticipate chatting with them and fellow students, creating a structured yet enjoyable atmosphere. Laughter is guaranteed, making it feel like a second home. For anyone seeking a training environment that feels like family, this is the place to be.”

“I was really nervous taking this class it was definitely out of my comfort zone. I took their woman empowerment self defense seminar. Hailey, Bernard, Jason, Lisa and there instructors offered a lot of techniques in this class. Anyone can take this class they welcome you and make you feel comfortable and it opened up my eyes. Met new people and they were great and heard a lot of stories. Know your worth ladies. You can do it! Thank you to the instructors for teaching us these techniques and I love the ambience of the place. I like what they have to offer looking forward to signing up and being part of Gracie jiu jitsu family. You guys are awesome. 👏🏽”

“We love this school! The teachers are phenomenal. They treat each student as an individual and take great care in the lessons they are modeling and teaching them. They hold the kids to high expectations and give them lots of encouragement and support. The sessions are a good balance of high energy, fun, and learning! Looking forward to see where this takes my daughter.”
