Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy of Salt Lake City

“I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 47, and I can’t say enough good things about Renzo Gracie Salt Lake City! Although the school is brand new—having just opened under the ownership of Stan Beck—it already feels like a second home. Since joining, I’ve lost 30 pounds, improved my fitness, and made better choices when it comes to my diet. The transformation has been incredible. The instructors, led by Stan, are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. The environment is welcoming and friendly, which makes it easy to feel at ease, even as a beginner. Even though the school has only been open for a couple of weeks, it’s clear that Stan and his team are dedicated to providing a high-quality experience. The community is already shaping up to be strong, and I can’t wait to continue training here. If you’re looking for a place to get in shape, learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and be part of a positive, supportive community, I highly recommend checking out Renzo Gracie Salt Lake City!”

“Professor Beck is a great teacher, trustworthy individual, and friendly all around. He helped my jujitsu skills extensively and I have enjoyed training with him.”

“5 stars all day!!! I am a 3rd degree Black Belt under Professor Stan, one of many who have all gone on to open our own Academy. (Colorado here). I would imagine this New academy to foster the same kind of learning environment and awesome family vibe that Professor Stan has brought to all of his academy's. PS...my profile pic here is Professor Stan, Me(as a Brown Belt), and Master Renzo. The lineage is solid!”

“Even though I haven’t physically trained at Renzo Gracie Salt Lake City yet, I’m proud to support this incredible sister gym to Renzo Gracie Lake Worth, where I’ve been since they opened 7 years ago and have grown tremendously in both skill and mindset. The Renzo family runs deep, and Professor Stan continues that tradition with excellence. His reputation for discipline, integrity, and technical instruction speaks volumes. If you’re looking to truly learn Jiu-Jitsu—not just the techniques but the respect and personal growth that comes with it—this is your place. Trust the process and the people. Oss! 👊”

“More than martial arts. I trained with Stan in Florida. One of the best humans out there and the real deal when it comes to BJJ. Best of luck to the new school and those lucky to train there.”
