My son is in the silver eagles program. The staff of coaches is amazing with the little kids program. They teach in a way that can be understood with plenty of repetition. Their program is safe, and accommodating for all ages, abilities, and do a great job keeping a large group of little kids engaged. The professor, Vinicius is an amazing practitioner with a vast knowledge of his craft. His wife runs the head of house and is incredibly accommodating in all aspects. This is a great place for all ages I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their kids involved, and any adults looking to start or continue their jiu-jitsu journey, this is your place.
Posted 1 year agoIt’s been wonderful for my little grandson. Coaches are amazing with children.
Training is clear and concise. Professor is an expert in his craft. Other class members make you feel like a part of the family from day one.
This was the second summer I trained at Gracie Gym Maine Brazilian Jiu-jitsu while on vacation in the area. The gym is clean and spacious with lots of amenities. The instruction is clear, and logically ordered. Over the course of a week one technique is built on and becomes more advanced. The team is very welcoming to a stranger, Professor Vinicius sets up rolls for everyone on the mat. As a visitor this is helpful. He also checks in with you to make sure you are good to continue. There are partners of every skill level to challenge most people. If you are looking for a place to train while on vacation or live in the area I would visit this gym.
Gracie Gym Maine is hands down one of the best gyms you can go to in New England, especially in the Sebago Lake region. The focus on jiu-jitsu here is incredible, with plenty of both gi and no-gi sessions. The instruction is very focused and detailed, which really helps you improve your skills. The community is welcoming and supportive, making it a great place for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Highly recommend!
I live and train in CT, and was thrilled to find a gym nearby while visiting my in-laws in Maine. Wonderful welcoming atmosphere, with excellent instruction!
Great people! Great venue! Vinicius is super professional, friendly, and inspiring. You can feel his passion for Jiu-Jitsu and teaching, as he coaches you. We took our son for a first class and he absolutely loved it! We are enrolling him in the class!
First time training jiu-jitsu and what a great experience it has been. Professor Vinicius and Nayara really go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!
Was vacationing in the area and decided to check this gym out. The facility is amazing. It's big, clean, and well equipped. The staff and students were really nice and welcoming. Had the pleasure of rolling with the black belt instructor, Vinicius, who's an all around great guy. You won't be disappointed with his style of jiu-jitsu teaching. Would definitely go back and highly recommend!
Quality establishment! Amazing instruction and super nice people 👍
As a Judo Black Belt I was always skeptical to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; thinking that I would not find a dojo with the same competitive, but humble roots as your typical Judo club offers. However, from the very first day I observed my initial class at Gracie Gym Maine, I was welcomed by the professor himself and then Nayara who explain the gym's schedule and inquire about my expectations; both individuals provided the most attention and welcoming warmth. Professor Vinicius Garcia is without a doubt one of the most pacionate, expirienced and knowledgeable individuals I have ever met in my 15+ years of martial arts experience. Proffesor Garcia is very understanding of individual's limitations; his techniques are top notch and his way of teaching is an easy and soothing one. Everyone at the dojo is an incredible individual and I am extremely happy to have found this place. If anyone is thinking to join the pack, don't think, just go for it and you too will fall in love too. - Oss
This is a very special gym - I'm a blue belt with 8 years of experience (I'm a slow learner and somewhat unathletic). The attitude is positive and friendly, with room for intensity when it's appropriate. I'm especially impressed with Prof. Vinicius's attention and focus on students. I've had dozens of excellent professors, but Vinicius is a cut above - he arranges training partners to ensure a productive match-up, and watches all the students carefully, providing helpful and encouraging advice. I'm thrilled that it opened and look forward to learning here for years to come.
New to the Portland area and to BJJ! I had researched multiple other gyms but once I heard that Gracie Gym Maine was opening I was excited about the amenities they offered (sauna, cold lounge and gym equipment) and received a very welcoming and timely response once I inquired. The day I met Nayara, Mike and Professor Vinicius for the first time, I knew this was going to be a fitness family that I wanted to be a part of! Everyone at Gracie Gym has been so kind and supportive and the community being built there is top notch! BJJ truly is for ANYONE and if you’ve ever thought about trying it…don’t hesitate any longer! Your new family at Gracie Gym Maine is waiting to welcome you too! 💪🏼🥋
I’ll say this. These people know what there doing. They play No games. I am New at this. I’ve never done anything like this. I was Very nervous going to into it, Out of fear of being New and knowing Nada about anything.The Professor welcomed me , made me at home , Everyone there made me feel at home, and I wasn’t the Only new person. It’s an excellent work out and the Professor did not waste a second. He had us sparring ( testing what We learned) the first day. BUT In a VERY CONTROLLED stetting. I highly recommend this Specific Location.
Very welcoming first experience can't wait to see this place grow this area has needed a jiu-jitsu gym for years and now it's finally here!
