Gracie Jiu Jitsu Vermont

“I had an excellent experience training at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Vermont. Seth is a gifted teacher and a great person to be around. Additionally, the culture he's built is awesome, really great people to be around. Though I do not have kids attending, the kids program looks awesome, really cool to see so many younger kids learning and having fun. On the adult side, great people and very skilled practitioners. Always fun and challenging rolls after class, etc. Thanks again, Seth!”

“My 7-year-old daughter has been attending Gracie Jiu Jitsu Vermont since she was 5, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Seth has created such a welcoming and supportive environment where kids feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. The focus on being a good person first, alongside the technical skills, really sets this program apart. It’s been incredible to see my daughter grow not only in her jiu jitsu skills but also in her confidence and resilience. I highly recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu Vermont to anyone looking for a positive and empowering experience for their child!”

“Our kiddo started training here last fall and we've been very impressed. We tried two other studios over the last few years and neither of them were quite the right fit for us. Seth is able to have command and attention of the room in a gentle and inclusive manner and supports the class in learning and growing. We particularly love the philosophy talks for our 1st grader as it supports his social and emotional growth. He is learning from a trusted adult who is encouraging positive peer engagement. Recommend very highly.”

“Anyone looking to enroll their child in Jiu Jitsu should definitely look at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Vermont. Seth Shamp is outstanding! His knowledge and passion for Jiu Jitsu transfers to his students. Seth believes in teaching his students how to defend themselves, but also helping them grow and learn by holding "philosophy talk" during every lesson. You will not be disappointed, reach out to Seth today!”

“I brought my daughters to GJJVT when they were pretty young. I found the classes to be engaging and the community to be really wonderful in regards to developing the whole self. Seth is a great teacher who really shows his devotion and energy through his instruction. While my kids aren't currently enrolled, we talk often about getting back into it, if only there were more hours in the day. Also worth noting....Seth has awesome kids of his own, which says a lot about the way he walks through the world. If you are looking for a safe and comfortable space to practice Jui Jitsu with great instruction and a fantastic community, look no further.”
