Gracie Jiu Jitsu Wilmington

"I showed up at Gracie Jiu Jitsu randomly three months ago with zero experience. After day one, I was shocked on how unprepared i was on basic self defense. I have been showing up at Gracie Jiu Jitsu ever since, ready to put in the work. After solid grind, I’ve now earned my 2nd stripe. Because of instructor Dave’s congenial, authentic teaching skills, I have never been more confident with self defense and jiu jitsu in my everyday life."

"Gracie Jiu Jitsu Wilmington is an incredible place to train, and a huge part of that is thanks to the amazing instructor, Dave Brown. Dave has a depth of knowledge that’s evident in every class. He has a remarkable way of breaking down complex techniques, making them accessible and easy to understand, regardless of your skill level. What really stands out is his patience. Dave never rushes through explanations or drills, taking the time to ensure that each student feels comfortable and confident with the material. He gives personalized attention and provides constructive feedback, always encouraging growth and development. His commitment to the success of each student is truly inspiring. If you’re looking for a place to learn jiu-jitsu in a supportive and expert-led environment, Gracie Jiu Jitsu Wilmington with Dave Brown is absolutely the place to be."

"Instructor Dave Brown is doing an excellent job teaching and representing one of the most effective martial arts there is, Gracie Jiu Jitsu. His knowledge, demonstrations, positive energy and patience add to an environment that focuses on technique, emphasizes safety and a non-competitive learning space. This may not be for those looking to get involved in competitive tournaments, but for those looking for an effective martial art focused on defense, whether on it’s own or to complement what someone has studied before ( as in my case ), this may be just what you are looking for!"

"I have been doing BJJ and other martial arts (off and on) for years and I have always been interested in Gracie Combatives. Unfortunately in the past, the closest training facility was in Jacksonville. So when I learned that there was one in Wilmington I was very excited. I went to Dave's class as soon as I could and I was very impressed. He is a really good instructor, the other folks are great to train with as well, and the Gracie curriculum is right on point. I am really glad that we finally have this opportunity in Wilmington and I am looking forward to training here"
