Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Fort Smith

“Myself and several others took the SafeWrap class here. It was very well taught. We were there about 6 hours but other than a few sore, seldom used muscles, I felt great. The trainers were very thorough and definitely knew the material. They were very good about talking us through the motions when we were struggling. I never felt like I was talked down to our felt out of place. The team here is incredible.”

“My girls love Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. And I love that they are learning self defense and gaining self confidence at an early age.”

“I recently completed Safe Wrap training, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience! The training provided invaluable techniques on how to safely and effectively manage a hostile person without causing harm. The methods were not only practical but also focused on maintaining dignity and respect in difficult situations. What truly made this training stand out was the instructor. Their expertise, patience, and clear explanations made learning incredibly easy and engaging. They broke down each step in a way that was simple to understand and apply in real-life scenarios. Thanks to their guidance, I feel much more confident in handling challenging situations safely and effectively. I highly recommend this training to any church looking to improve their skills in de-escalation and safe intervention. A big thank you to the instructor and team for such a valuable experience!”

“The BEST experience! We went as a sorority to Women Empowered and it was great! Staff was so nice and it was a great environment! Hopefully I will be coming back!”

“I did a drop in last night looking for a gym in the area to train at, as my partner and I are moving to the area temporarily for her to complete her medical licensure. Upon walking into Gracie Ft. Smith I was impressed with the cleanliness of the gym, the overall facilities, especially with the women programs, it is the largest female class I have ever seen, and my partner is excited to try the program as there aren’t many female practitioners in the previous gyms we’ve trained at. I was left with a good impression, this is a gym program ran by a team of people who have your best interest when it comes to Gracie self defense. I look forward to dropping in and training with the people and community here, while we’re in Ft. Smith. I wanted to thank the coach, Josh, for extending himself out to us!”
