Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® Omaha

“As a family, we couldn’t be more grateful for this jiu-jitsu gym. Our boys have not only learned discipline and focus, but they've also developed strong core values that are already shaping them into confident, respectful young men. The anti-bullying lessons have been especially impactful—they now walk with a quiet confidence that comes from knowing how to protect themselves if necessary, but also when and how to walk away. As a police officer and a nurse, we value environments that promote both mental resilience and physical fitness, and this gym delivers on both fronts. The instructors are not only knowledgeable, but they genuinely care about the kids’ growth—on and off the mats. We truly feel like we’re part of a community here. Highly recommended for any family looking to raise strong, respectful, and focused kids.”

“We started the kid’s Bullyproof for our son two years ago. Brian and the other instructors have real talent for teaching kids; they know how to mix together fun, challenge, safety, and discipline in a way that kids respond to. I’ve recently started Combatives, and it is excellent also.”

“I’ve been training in various martial arts for 31 years. While I did not grow up with the Gracie University system (it didn’t exist yet), I have watched it grow and mature into the most comprehensive training available. We can argue attributes of sparring all day long, but nothing comes close to level of professionalism and commitment to long-term performance as Gracie Omaha. Thank you, Brian and team for taking in a worn down stray and inspiring me to find joy in Jiu Jitsu again.”

“I joined Gracie Jiu-Jitsu about a month ago. One of my daughter's and I had been talking about doing a self defense class. She found Gracie here in Omaha and we could not be more happy with our choice! The leaders are truly wonderful people that care about you and your experience with them! I LOVE my class and absolutely HATE to miss it! I walk out of there truly feeling empowered and ready to take on the world! they might have just found a customer for life!”

“This is a great place. Brian is an extremely knowledgeable, organized, and patient instructor, and he creates a very welcoming and cooperative environment. I particularly recommend Gracie Omaha if you're new to BJJ. On another level, the Gracie system in my opinion is the most practical of martial arts from a "real world" self-defense standpoint.”
