Gracie Jiu-Jitsu South Bend

"Great place for community and Jiu-Jitsu! John and Thomas are masters at the art and welcome all. They offer a 10 day no risk trial which offers any person access to classes before committing. Definitely check this place out, you won’t regret it!"

"Looking for a safe place to train? Appreciate high level instruction? Want classes that accommodate kids, women, beginners, and advanced practitioners? GJJ SB checks off ALL the boxes and more! Love & Leverage"

"My husband and daughter attend classes here. They have the most welcoming atmosphere. There's an obvious but not overwhelming effort made to put new comers at ease, which is really appreciated. The vibe is relaxed, the training easy to understand and the people super welcoming. If you are looking for a juijitzu home, I highly recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu, South Bend!"

"My first day was 9/13/2021. I was 257 pounds, and I could hardly move my own body, let alone practice a Martial Art..... safe to say I was wrong. I was welcomed with open arms and embraced by the community they had built/continue to cultivate. Within my 10 day free trial, it was clear to me that I not only wanted this in my life, but I needed it! So, I pulled the trigger. Bought a year, 20 private lessons, and 2 Gi's. Best decision I ever made! It literally changed the course of my life. Thomas, John, Sandon, Brandon, Hannah, Sarah, Blake, the other John (fair warning LOTS of Johns), and literally dozens of other people have, not only taught me a ridiculous amount of Jiu-jitsu, but have inadvertently and unintentionally made me a better person. If you have ever thought about learning how to defend yourself...... I can think of no better place to start. Love and Leverage. P.s. I've been holding a solid 195lbs for about 6 months now, if you were curious."
