What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Matthew Williams
"Beautiful facility. I came here from out of town for a Jiu Jitsu seminar and was met with friendly faces. Everyone was very nice and made us feel like welcome. The instructors are first class. I definitely recommend this place."
Wes
"I really enjoyed training at Gracie United - Team Jucao Ascension. I was welcomed with top notch professionalism and encouragement by all of the members. Professor Mathew Grady taught a great class on sweeps, and after class I went to my first yoga class taught by Coach Christina. This facility is extremely clean and they have a lobby for parents/members to view two separate mats as classes are taking place. TWO MATS! Thanks for the rolls everyone, and for your kindness Gracie United - Team Jucao Ascension! I will be back."
Charles Griggs
"Professor Robbie and his coaches are some of the finest instructors I've encountered. All of my children are now eagerly anticipating each chance to be on his mat."
Lenny Bernard
"Building up the courage to walk into Gracie United several years ago was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself! If you are considering giving it a try, don't hesitate, just show up and you will thank yourself too. Professor Robbie and his Coaches excel at getting you started on your journey at your own pace in a new state of the art facility. Many people begin training to get in shape or learn self defense but they continue training because of the friendships they make and the personal growth that comes on and off the mats. Priceless!"
