They provide thorough/detailed instruction with a kind and family-friendly attitude. They’re very knowledgeable, organized, and thoughtful. I’m so glad we gave this place a try.

“I highly recommend this school for those who want to learn the Art of Jiu Jitsu. The focus in this school is on safety first and learning the techniques the way the founder of the art and his family teach them. I appreciate that Frank and his family have trained with the Gracie’s directly for over a decade before coming to the Emerald Coast. Their knowledge and experience are second to none in this area.”
