"Gracie Jiu- Jitsu Baymeadows is THE Jui-Jitsu place to be! Coach Cliff is so patient and attentive to each child. He makes sure everyone gets that one on one needed to fully understand each move which is what sets him apart to me. Our experience elsewhere was not that way at all and we are so grateful to have found this gem of a place!"
"By far the best Jiu-Jitsu dojo for kids (and everyone) in JAX. The place is kinda small but very welcoming. Coach Cliff is an amazing teacher and very patient with the kids. My two children cannot wait to come each week because it's that fun. Can not say enough about coach Cliff and his way of teaching. We will continue coming until for as long as we are in JAX. Highly, highly recommend this place."
"Nice and compact lecture with problem solving focus and easy to understand slice. The coaches always take time to listen and understand the concerns and conceptions of the students. They have proven that they take safety seriously and make an effort to help navigate the techniques. Just so you know too, that sport is tiring more then I anticipated. Overall, good good stuff and staff!"
"Loved the women empowered class! The sound of all the girls and women laughing as Coach Jen chokes out her husband is one of my favorite sounds yet. 10/10, will be sad to leave."
