Whether you're a beginner or an experienced fighter, you'll feel challenged and encouraged every step of the way. The gym’s culture emphasizes respect, discipline, and camaraderie, making it an ideal place to grow both as an athlete and a person. I couldn’t recommend Gracie Brandon more highly! Take it from someone who has and family has trained here for 11 years!"

"Gracie Brandon redefines the concept of a martial arts gym, providing a welcoming atmosphere that resembles a family unit. My family participates in the kids' and adults program on a weekly basis. The instructors are highly respected for their expertise, patience, and professionalism. A variety of programs and training camps are offered, tailored to suit individual training requirements. 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 🇺🇸"

Twilliam wissman

"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"
