Gracie Apollo Beach

"Seasoned, world class coaches with experience. They are very good with guiding everyone across all ages, skill levels, and fitness/injuries. The prices are reasonable for the experience and fundamentals that last a lifetime and can be applied to other aspects of life. Everyone here has been helpful and they pour their soul in to helping you succeed. This is the only gym my kid has been to so I can't compare to others, but I don't think it's common amongst other BJJ gyms to have so many highly experienced/ranked instructors. There's usually 2 to 3 black belts with decades in the sport instructing. The lineage of the instructors also builds clout. Plus the occasional master classes from outside instructors to include Royce and Khonry Gracie. You just cant put a price on that."

"My son has been training at this gym for over three years, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming, supportive, and motivating. The owners truly care about every student and have created a space that feels like family. The coaches are absolutely top-notch — not only skilled in jiu jitsu, but also incredible mentors who bring out the best in both kids and adults. They’re patient, knowledgeable, and push you to improve while keeping things fun and respectful. This gym has given us more than just training — it’s provided confidence, discipline, and a strong bond he’ll carry for life. We’re proud to be part of this community and can’t recommend it highly enough."

"Our entire family trains here and we couldn’t ask for a more fair, safe and reliable coaching and training environment for our family to train. Amazing and diverse coaching staff, you feel seen and respected in and outside the gym. We are eternally grateful to transparency and commitment our coaches provided us as a family and in our own individual training schedules. 10/10"

"I've had a fantastic experience at GAB! It's a truly family-oriented BJJ school with a welcoming and positive atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from day one. The instructors and students create a great culture built on respect, support, and continuous growth. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for training. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, this is a great place to train and be part of a strong, encouraging community."
