What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jared White
"I dropped in from out of town and brought my fiancé along for her first ever class. Great facilities, clean mats, and a friendly environment. Instructors were instantly welcoming, helping us as soon as we walked in. The instructors were knowledgeable and excellent at teaching both beginners and more advanced students. I stayed for the advanced class and they offered my fiancé a free fitness class while she waited on me. I’ll be coming here for any future trips to St. Louis and I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu for self defense, competition, or fitness!"
Nasiru Omolaja
"Extremely professional and welcoming environment. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and exceptionally patient, making sure each student gains a solid understanding of the skills being taught. I have no regrets joining. Truly a great decision."
Paul Koepke
"This is the 4th Jiu-Jitsu gym I've trained at and I am very happy here. The instructors are excellent at giving enough information to be useful but not so much that you get overwhelmed. They're also great at answering questions. Instructors and students are friendly, and the facility is nice and clean."
N W
"Quality instruction from a great group of coaches who do everything they can to make the people who walk through the door feel comfortable and welcome. They do a good job of differentiating to the various skill levels, and are always helpful towards new or inexperienced members. They have both morning and evening sessions, so its easier than a lot of gyms to fit into your schedule. Whether you're training to compete, or just looking for a place to learn some self-defense and get in shape, Gracie Jiu-jitsu in St. Louis is the place."
