Gracie North County Jiujitsu

“Having been involved in BJJ for the last 4 years, Gracie North County is one of the cleanest and friendliest BJJ gyms I’ve been to. The coaches are very skilled in breaking down and explaining moves and will adapt them for your body type which is key. Their experience and vast knowledge of the sport allows them to teach more than just basic motions and standard attacks or defenses. They focus on the basics and fundamentals, but if you are taller, shorter, wider or older, adapting BJJ to you makes all the difference! They also have fostered a respectful and safe way to fully engage in the sport. This attitude also keeps injury’s down overall as well. So whether you are just looking to ride a fun way exercise a couple times a week, or looking to jump into Brazilian Jiujitsu and its heritage and culture, Professor Eduardo has you covered at Gracie North County for sure!”

“I bring my daughters to this school and thought that this place was better than the earlier two martial arts they had been in (karate, then another jiujitsu place). Recently I was at a longer event where all students were tested to consider advancing (belt, etc) and I was really impressed with Eddie’s patience with one of the younger children. The kid was scared, crying, etc. And Eddie was very good at dispelling that child’s fear. It totally took my attention away from the material I was reading… and I found myself enjoying the show: of watching Eddie ply child psychology in real time. Very enjoyable, and effective! This isn’t the only time I observed Eddie (“Professor” Eduardo) do this sort of thing. His desire to establish the highest quality operation, in terms of his students’ martial arts abilities, as well as manners & ethics is clear. He’s the Mr Miyagi of JiuJitsu! We’re very happy we have our daughters, & now my wife as well, in Eddie’s program & highly recommend it!”

“The academy offers a variety of classes tailored for children, adults, and families, ensuring that everyone feels included. The flexible schedule allows students to train at times that work best for them. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you’ll find the support and guidance needed to improve your skills. If you’re looking for a place to learn authentic Jiu-Jitsu in a positive and encouraging environment, Gracie North County, under Professor Eddie’s guidance, is the perfect choice. The combination of technical expertise, camaraderie, and professionalism sets this academy apart.”

“I started bringing my 3 year old to take jiujitsu class with coach Eddie and I am beyond impressed with the outcome. Coach Eddie is awesome with kids I love to see how much they adore him and trust him to teach them the fundamentals of jiujitsu. At just 3 years old my kid and the other kids in their class have improved developmentally by practicing colors, left/right, differentiating between hand/foot/arm/leg etc. following directions, and the values of a team. Coach Eddie is really kind and intuitive when it comes to the kids needs in learning situations. This is exactly the kind of positive environment that allows kids to grow and be a part of a great community here in north county. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about it to just come and try to see for yourself!”

“Coach Eduardo is a great mentor and teacher. My son is 5 and attends both the Little Ninjas and Kid’s classes. Coach Eduardo engages the small children with a playful spirit and has a lot of patience with them. He doesn’t let them get too distracted and keeps them in line. I believe he has the right balance of playfulness and firmness that my child responds to. These classes have taught my son better self control and has provided him a safe and structured environment to expend his extra energy and get in better shape.”
