Wes
"I had a very welcoming and enjoyable time training at Gracie United Alexandria. Professor Phillip and Professor Micah create an awesome environment for all skill levels through their kindness and professionalism. The facility is clean, and has lots of room to accommodate everyone. The members at this location are great teammates who enjoy building everyone to greater accomplishments. Can't wait to come back to train with the team at Gracie United Alexandria."
Amanda Delrie
"This is an education based gym, no judgement zone, and I love training here for Brazilian Jui-Jitzu. The people are amazing and everyone helps the new students learn the moves. It’s more like a family here than a gym. Everyone is just focused on getting better at BJJ. They welcomed me in gracefully and are so patient with my learning pace. The dues are really reasonable, especially since you can go to any classes provided and you can travel to other gyms under Gracie United and train there free of charge. I’m loving it so far and I look forward to continuing my education!"
Blake Lavespere
"Great group of guys! I am from New Orleans and was passing through Alexandria. Stopped for the open mat. I didn’t have clothes and Professor Philip was kind enough to lend me everything I needed. One of the warmest and most welcoming gyms I have ever been to. Awesome rolls with high level grapplers."
Tammy Maxwell
"If you were contemplating walking through the doors of a BJJ gym, walking through these could change your life. This is a fantastic team of very knowledgeable coaches and mentors that will support you on your journey to being a better version of yourself in a safe environment. If you are in the Alexandria area or are just dropping in to check it out, you will be glad you did! And the gym is clean, spacious, and well maintained."
