Gracie Jiu Jitsu Smyrna

"Since joining Gracie Jiujitsu Smyrna, I have gained so much. Not only knowledge and skills on the mat, but friendships and a sense of belonging that I have felt since day one. The instructors are thorough, detailed, and patient. The classes are taught on a rotating schedule, so you always know what you’ll be practicing. And if you do miss a class and don’t want to wait until it comes back around, there’s an online library with videos of all the techniques. The women’s class fosters a safe and compassionate environment that is both fun and trauma informed. I cannot recommend this academy enough. If you’re considering it, you should definitely join!"

"Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Smyrna is an amazing place to train!

The community is friendly and encouraging, and the classes are structured to ensure both fun and growth. If you're looking for a place to learn jiu-jitsu, build confidence, and be part of a great group of people, this is it! Highly recommend!"

"I can't say enough great things about Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Smyrna! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a positive and safe environment for everyone. They offer fantastic programs for all age ranges, making it a great place to learn and grow. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. What really stands out is how much the owners give back to the community, showing their dedication to more than just martial arts. Personally, I've experienced so much improvement since attending classes here—both physically and mentally. If you're looking for a place to learn jiu-jitsu, build confidence, and be part of a supportive community, this is it!"

"I just finished taking the 6 week Women’s Empowerment course. It was incredible. I started with their Self Defense seminar and continued on from there. I highly recommend attending any class here. The instructors are warm, welcoming, clear and fun to be around. I left every class feeling stronger and more confident. The knowledge and compassion they have for their business (which felt more like a family) is amazing. Jen and Howard, thank you for making these self defense accessible to our community. And thank you for giving your students a safe (and fun) environment to be in such vulnerable situations. I appreciate it all."
