What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
John “TMI Beard” Eden
"The best instruction, training partners, and people you could ask for. The longer I train here, the more I appreciate the opportunity to train under James and in the environment he has created that supports and helps us all to grow and learn safely. James really makes sure that Jiu Jitsu is for everyone."
Don Castro
"Amazing place to train. Atmosphere is very welcoming and family oriented. Professors are too notch and I will definitely recommend anyone to train there! Facility is clean, bathrooms are clean, prices are great!"
MaD J
"It took us about 3 months to not only get settled in but research and tour bjj gyms after our relocation to Savannah. There is a reason why we drive 40 mins out to Savannah for our kids to train at Gracie gym and it is because of this amazing coach, Jimmy. If you are looking for a gym with a coach that not only cares about his students but genuinely enjoy being around kids, this is the place. Highly recommend."
Luke Backes
"I visited Savannah from out of town and was looking for a place to train for the week. It was a great experience. I dropped in and got right to training within a couple minutes after signing the waiver. The instruction was executed very well and had plenty of details but simple enough to implement right away. The room had plenty of talent to get solid work if you’re a competitor. James is a talented instructor who makes every concept very easy to understand and apply. Gracie Jiu Jitsu has a great atmosphere and everyone was very friendly. If I lived in Savannah this would be my home gym."
