What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Richard Markham

"Thoroughly enjoyed the Gracie Combatives 101 Seminar at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Appleton. They have a beautiful new training facility, and the instructor's were all very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable."

Britney Topinka

"As a complete beginner (and someone who also has the coordination of a newborn baby giraffe), I could not recommend Gracie Appleton higher! Kent and all of the instructors are extremely patient, passionate, and amazing at what they do! Not to mention, my classmates have all been wonderful and are great at giving pointers when I’m struggling. Joining martial arts as a smaller female can be very intimidating, especially if you don’t consider yourself to be “athletic” or coordinated, but I have never once felt uncomfortable during class and the instructors always work with you at whatever level you’re at. Jiu jitsu was never something I could’ve imagined myself doing because it was so far outside of my comfort zone, and now it’s the highlight of my week! If you’re on the fence and thinking about it…just try it! You won’t regret it!"

Jenna Keller

"Love the staff and classes at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Appleton! Women Empowered is a great supportive environment for first time learners!"

"I’ve been training Jiu jitsu for 9+ years and have been a member at several different schools. I will say that all of these schools have great qualities that differ from each other. Gracie Appleton is a God send for me. I have not had one single negative experience at Gracie Appleton. Everyone is extremely friendly and there is no egos at all. I don’t have to worry about getting hurt or injured here. Kent and Jeff are excellent instructors and even nicer people. Grant and Gary are also very good instructors and can answer about any question I have. I HIGHLY recommend this school to start or continue you jiu jitsu journey."
