This gym has played a pivotal role in enhancing my family's confidence and skill set, offering a unique community that fosters meaningful connections. Robby and Terri Donofrio are exceptional individuals who genuinely care about the well-being of each student. For those seeking improved confidence, grappling and fighting skills, and a supportive community, Gracie Brandon is an outstanding choice."

"I began training here three years ago after moving to the area, and it quickly became my second home. The coaches are outstanding, the atmosphere is amazing, and the training area is always clean. Highly recommend checking the gym out if you’re in the area 🇺🇸"

"Signed my son up at 5 not knowing anything about jujitsu and we are so glad we did. Coach rich and coach Ian and great with kids. The environment is super uplifting for our son. All the parents and kids are supportive. After a year of watching my son do it I signed up as well and I received the same treatment. Even if I’m not in a class I find myself there just hanging around the coffee shop. Would definitely recommend for kids or anyone looking for an active hobby"
