Gracie Jiu-Jitsu North Peoria

“Coach Matt and his staff are top notch. A very welcoming, supporting and caring environment. Our 7 year old son is learning, thriving and absolutely loving his experience. Big kudos to the team and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in jui jitsu!”

“I have trained in martial arts pretty much my entire life. Beginning in 1978. The one sign i look for of a great instructor is passion, then skill. Coach Matt has that and more. Great teachers make the classes fun and are always making sure everyone is learning in a safe environment. The Gracie bjj program is extremely detailed, and probably the easiest system to learn. Great people here too. I Highly recommend!”
