What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Alan Wood
"An incredible Academy. It’s now been two years of training here. This is the academy I would recommend to anyone in the region. So many of us travel 45min- 1 hour just to train here, and for good reason. Without getting into the remarkable history lesson of what Gracie Jiu Jitsu is and it’s culture and impact. This is THE place to learn Jiu Jitsu. All of the fine details and mechanics that help you become so smooth- not just another apple on the tree. How a smaller, weaker person can survive and control any physical altercation. How to use your anatomy and positioning to create major impact. Jiu Jitsu fits every body- and unlike other academies- we teach Jiu Jitsu is a way that is so effective you can use it all of your life- not only as a strong athletic young person. Gracie Jiu Jitsu 💪"
Patrick Budnik
"Great people, great instruction, safe/clean facility. Good camaraderie among the students. Anyone looking at starting Jiu-Jitsu this IS the place you need to check out."
Shawn Craft
"Went for a drop-in while on vacation. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Knowledgeable instructors. The only negative I can give is there is no parking. I was told to park across the street at a restaurant and the restaurant is ok with it but there is clearly a sign saying customers only, others will be towed. Feels like rolling the dice."
Garret Talarczyk
"Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is an outstanding martial arts academy that provides top-notch instruction in a friendly and supportive environment. Professor Lobo is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you improve your technique. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and enjoyable training experience. Overall, I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to anyone looking to learn self-defense, get in shape, or simply have fun while learning a new skill."
