Amy Brady
"Our kids love training at Gracie! They have made great progress on the mats in just 6 months. They are learning so much about confidence, self control, and self defense. We are grateful for the amazing instructors and examples they are for our kids! They are amazing, genuinely nice people. The atmosphere is so positive and supportive. All students are respected, encouraged, and taught to help each other. Newly remodeled, very clean gym. We couldn’t be happier!"
Maria Korns
"Gracie Bradenton is an extraordinary place where my children have found themselves over the past year, where they’ve been optimally trained, coached, and supported. We feel lucky to have found Coach Sonny and Kate’s business. It’s more than that, however. They’re like family here!"
Ryan Ploger
"My teen and I both train here and we love it. The owners have curated a spectacular program with a staff expertly adept at BJJ as well as at coaching. The facilities clean and inviting. Men, women, teens and kids will find tremendous personal growth and development as well as camaraderie here. Cannot recommend this place enough, so glad I found it!"
Griffin Hahs
"Great gym with even greater people! Fantastic place to go if you have no or little experience in BJJ. Sonny and the coaches do a fantastic job of breaking things down and explaining how to do things. You will actually learn here!"
