Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Emerald Coast

"We just discovered our new jiu-jitsu studio - Gracie Emerald Coast! The atmosphere is super easy-going, clean and welcoming. Everyone is so personable and sweet, we loved chatting with the team and feeling like part of the community. My husband took his first class and was blown away by the emphasis on safety and the instructors' patience with beginners. An incredible walk through experience, it couldn’t have gone better. The endorphin rush my husband had after class was real! We're beyond excited to start this new chapter and can't wait to see what the future holds."

"My family & I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Emerald Coast. The owners/instructors Megan, Frank & Mary are exceptional at what they do. They provide thorough/detailed instruction with a kind and family-friendly attitude. They’re very knowledgeable, organized, and thoughtful. I’m so glad we gave this place a try. Our boys were a little hesitant & nervous at first, but the instructors are so friendly and welcoming that the boys felt at home right away. If you’re on the fence about where to go or where to take your kids, just go check them out. You won’t be disappointed!"

"I highly recommend this school for those who want to learn the Art of Jiu Jitsu. The focus in this school is on safety first and learning the techniques the way the founder of the art and his family teach them. I appreciate that Frank and his family have trained with the Gracie’s directly for over a decade before coming to the Emerald Coast. Their knowledge and experience are second to none in this area."

"Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Emerald Coast is an absolute gem! I was in town for two weeks, and I can’t wait to return the next time I’m in the Destin area. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the welcoming and positive atmosphere.
