AG1925 is a Gracie family member Ralek Gracie curated the facility in Franklin, TN, offering training for self-defense, BJJ hobbyists, and world champions alike.
Ralek has been an amazing teacher. Having no prior experience in martial arts and stepping into his classes, I have been absolutely amazed at his ability to teach jiu jitsu at such a high level and also make it digestible for those like myself with little to no experience. I would highly advise those looking to get into jiu jitsu or advance their training to go see Ralek. You will not be disappointed.

A once-in-a-lifetime teacher. A once-in-a-lifetime human. I met Ralek years ago in Torrance, when he was still a young man—but even back then, there was something undeniable about him. He wasn’t just practicing jiu-jitsu—he was living it. Breathing it. Dissecting it like a philosopher with a microscope. The rest of us were just trying to keep up. Ralek was never chasing attention or accolades. He was chasing truth—jiu-jitsu in its purest, most atomic form. And if you loved it too, even a fraction as much as he did, he’d pour himself into teaching you with everything he had. He never held back. He taught until your muscles gave out. He answered every question. He never made you feel small for not knowing. In fact, he made you feel like you belonged. He’s the kind of teacher you never forget. I’ve coached basketball internationally. I’ve managed world-class tennis centers. I’ve been around elite athletes and entertainers my entire career. But in Ralek, I found the rarest combination: genius and gentleness. Precision and patience. When I trained with him, I was never injured. Not once. He moved me like I was an uncooked egg in his hands—strong but careful, always aware. And more than anything, I felt that he cared. His words, his actions, his time—he gave them all freely. That kind of presence is rare. That kind of teacher is sacred. And twenty years later, I’m still grateful to have met him. Ralek is a magnet for the real ones—the innovators, the nerds, the artists, the warriors, the lovers of this gentle art. If you’re lucky enough to train under him, don’t take it lightly. People search their whole lives for a teacher like this. I thank God for crossing our paths. I pray for your continued success, Ralek. May your family be protected and blessed. And Happy Father’s Day, sir. You deserve the world.

Ralek Gracie is one of the best Martial Arts teachers living now. Whether your goal is street self defense, gi jiu jitsu, no gi jiu jitsu, or mma, it would be quite difficult to find a better place to train. Do yourself a favor, take a class and see for yourself.

In less than a year, Ralek took me from being dead in the water to being very comfortable on the mat, especially when faced with the unexpected. His less is more, intuitive style is timely in a game that’s overly saturated with information. Highly recommend!!
