Gracie Jiu Jitsu North Phoenix

“Awesome place, instructors, and students! Everyone is very friendly and family oriented and very skilled at what they do. Good place for the whole family. Kids love the kids classes and learn a lot more than Jiu Jitsu/self defense. They learn life lessons about health, responsibility, character, etc. etc. The Gracie University gyms have the best curriculum and environment for Jiu Jitsu, beginners to advanced, hands down!”

“A friend recommended Gracie Jiu-Jitsu North Phoenix to me and I am so glad he did! I wanted to find a way to learn self defense and find an environment that was non competitive, safe, welcoming and fun. I found all of that and more! All ages are welcome (I’m in my mid 60’s) and the black belt instructors Cecil and Sean could not have been kinder or more welcoming. I’m so glad I joined. I learn new things every time I attend, building new pathways in my brain and feel challenged in a very good way.”

“My 8yo daughter has been attending the Jiu-Jitsu classes here and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience! Sean and Cecil are incredibly skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in helping each student improve, regardless of their experience level. The classes are well-structured, offering a great mix of technique and games which keeps things challenging and fun. The location itself is very clean, spacious, and equipped with mats that ensure safety during training. There's a strong sense of community here, with everyone supporting each other to grow and excel. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, this is the perfect place to train. Highly recommended!”

“Great class! Sean & staff provide excellent instructions and techniques. They’re easy-going and make you feel welcome. Glad my two teenage boys and I took the 10 day trial and now we’re looking forward to becoming proficient in the Gracie Combatives course! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn self defense.”

“My kid has been learning here for over a year and loves it. learning valuable skills and principles while making friends and having fun is good for him and important to me. Sean Cecil and their team work well with everyone helping them feel comfortable, included and welcome.”
