Steve York
"My son and I train in Wisconsin and stopped by the Shelbyville location for a drop in class. The facility was very clean and spacious. Professor Nick taught the class and was very thorough, providing easy to follow details and made the class fun. Our biggest takeaway from the evening was how welcoming and nice everyone was. It was a great experience and if we ever get that way again we will definitely be dropping by!"

I've learned so much in such a short amount of time, and I feel much more confident in my skills. The atmosphere at the gym is also great. Everyone is friendly and supportive, and I've made some great friends. I always look forward to my classes, and I know that I'm getting a great workout. If you're looking for a great way to get in shape, learn self-defense, and make friends, I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. You won't be disappointed."
