Geneva Kitchens
"The place is amazing! I can’t say enough good things about the instructors and the facility. From my very first class, I felt welcomed, accepted, comfortable, and safe. The women’s empowered program is a must, everyone is so helpful, kind, and works towards building a community with one another. The instructors are so professional, personable, and patient. The facility is super clean and well maintained."
Alison Ziemkiewicz
"I'm thrilled to share our experience with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu! As a homeschooling family, finding the right extracurricular activities for my children can be challenging. However, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has exceeded our expectations. My kids absolutely love attending classes, and they always look forward to their sessions. What impresses me the most is how the instructors focus not just on martial arts skills, but also on instilling values of respect, discipline, and citizenship. It's heartwarming to see my children grow in confidence and character while learning effective self-defense techniques. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is truly more than just a martial arts program; it’s a place that fosters growth and development in young individuals. Highly recommended for any family looking for a quality program!""
Ivan Giron
"I was initially hesitant to join the class because I was concerned about getting hurt and the risk of not being able to work. However, after observing how Cameron and Nikki conducted their sessions, I was truly impressed. I first signed up my 8-year-old son, followed by my daughter. I attended their classes and saw how safe the environment was. A month later, I decided to join, and I couldn't be happier. Cameron is an incredible instructor and a dedicated student of the art; his passion shines through in both his words and actions. His team, Nikki and Jake, are also fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. The best part is that if you're unsure about making a commitment, you can start with a free 10-day trial. I guarantee you'll want to join the Gracie family after that. I highly recommend this place in the Coachella Valley for anyone interested in Jiu-Jitsu."
Marcela Bella
"I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the incredible team here. My son has never been so inspired, engaged, and genuinely excited about something before. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home—like family. Cameron and the entire team are absolute gems, radiating positivity and encouragement. Their influence has been nothing short of transformational for my son, and I truly believe this is one of the best environments a child can be in. Despite the drive not being the closest for us, it has been well worth it. The level of knowledge, kindness, and genuine care from everyone at this academy is unmatched. My son, who was never really into competitive sports or anything he “stuck to” for a while—-, found something here that just clicked. From his very first class, he was hooked—he never wanted to stop! Now, he looks forward to training every single day. If your child shows even the slightest interest, I highly recommend going for the unlimited package. This place is life-changing, and I hope every parent gets the chance to bring this gift into their child’s life. Thank you, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Cameron, Jake, Nicki and ALL —for everything you do!"
