What Our Students Say

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

Moni G

"I highly recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu on Lighthouse! I’m so glad I attended the free Self Defense Seminar. They offer a 10 day trial if you missed this limited time opportunity. The Jiu Jitsu 101 lesson was so much fun, I’m eager to learn more! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They kindly guide you so that you may improve the techniques being taught. The classes offered as a membership are really affordable. I encourage anyone that may be interested to give Gracie Jiu Jitsu a try!"

Anabel Guzman

"My daughter’s and I started a 10 day free trial. During our first day, I really enjoyed the class. Staff were very nice and the environment felt safe and comfortable. My daughters were a bit nervous and shy but I love how staff made my kids feel welcomed and other kids in their class were able to introduce themselves to my kids which made them feel more comfortable and less nervous.They had such an amazing time during their first class and had nothing but good things to say and that they wanted to continue going even after the class one of my daughters did not want to take off her uniform off. There is a clean changing area and bathroom in case needed. My kids have been asking me everyday when is there next class. They are looking forward to continuing."

Lisa K

"Can't say enough about this place. The classes are a physical and mental challenge in the best way and the instructors are top notch! Very welcoming training center for beginners and those more advanced as well. I have been training there for 2+ years in the Women Empowered classes and Combatives/Master Cycle classes. Learning great skills!"

Daniel V

"My son has attended 10 bully-proof classes at this fantastic location and just received his first stripe. We love the ratio of instructor to student, the individual attention, and the environment that the staff has created. Students are held to a high standard of behavior while being supported and encouraged to fall in love with this martial art. The mix of social/emotional learning and the foundation for more advanced jujitsu techniques is a great activity for young students."
