My two kids 8 years and 12 years old as well my nephew who is 8 years old attend Gracie’s. We have been there for 1 month already. The kid are so happy and look forward to attending classes. The coaches really care about the kids and talk to them respectfully, all while teaching them about self defense. We as parents are extremely happy to have enrolled them. So worth it!!!

Fantastic Jiu-Jitsu techniques, instructors, and more. The classes are sometimes tough but you’ll always walk away with either better technique or knowing more moves than you did before you entered. The coaches are fantastic when working with others and are really friendly on top of that. Overall would really recommend.

We absolutely love this place. Coach Basel is just incredible with kids, patient, encouraging and truly gifted at connecting with them. Coach John is awesome, and together they create such a positive, welcoming environment. I’ve rarely seen my kids so comfortable and confident around other adults. Thank you for not only teaching them Jiu Jitsu but also teaching good values, discipline, and respect. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place where their kids can grow, learn, and thrive.

I can’t recommend this place enough! The instructor and everyone here are incredibly respectful, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It's an excellent environment for anyone looking to begin their journey in martial arts, especially for kids. They do a fantastic job of keeping the Gracie tradition of self-defense at the core of their teaching, which truly sets you up to become a well-rounded and prepared jiu-jitsu student for the long run. Whether you're young or just young at heart, this school offers an outstanding experience for all age groups. The classes are well-structured, the energy is always positive, and the atmosphere is very family-oriented. If you're considering starting jiu-jitsu, this is the place to be!

I had to opportunity to visit Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Boca Raton this week from another gym and I had an amazing experience. Of course the gym has all the elements I have come to enjoy from the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, with the awesome atnosphere that is unique to Boca. The instructors and students were very warm, enthusiastic, energetic and welcoming. Participant safety and technique is paramount in this system so I recommend giving it a try for anyone interested in learning.

I am a college student who, for months, had been contemplating giving Jiu-Jitsu a try, but was overwhelmed by the sheer number of MMA gyms around the Boca Raton area. Gracie Barra, Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Master XYZ's Jiu Jitsu Academy... how do I make a decision?? However, I had recently heard about this Gracie Combatives program after watching Rener Gracie's appearance on the Jocko Podcast and thought, why not? I did some research and stumbled upon Gracie Boca Raton, the ONLY place in the area I could find that offered Combatives. It's now five and a half months later, and I can confidently say that I made the right decision! For starters, unlike your average MMA gym where you're thrown into sparring with no experience and little technique instruction, Gracie Combatives teaches you the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in great detail, while keeping true to the self-defense applications taught by Grandmaster Hélio Gracie, himself. On top of that, the classes are fun and prefect for any age. The instructors here at Gracie Boca Raton are TOP NOTCH and everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their clear passion for this wonderful art has inspired me to live the Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle both on and off the mats. So, if you are looking to learn Jiu-Jitsu the right way, and in a safe, fun environment, Gracie Boca Raton is the place for you!! I guarantee you won't find anything else like it around!

I've been taking this class for two years now, only 1-2 days a week and love every time I revisit the Dojo. Can't speak more highly. These classes are structured and organized, and welcome to all levels of experience. I know a lot of students have an awesome time in the kid version, and as for adult, it's a friendly atmosphere that really trains the body to master each technique. Real props to the coaches!

I recently started in the Gracie Combative's program at Gracie Boca Raton. So far the classes have been way more than I expected. Coach John & Basel are amazing coaches and I have begun picking up the principles and lessons much quicker than I thought I would. The video supplement online classes are a great bonus I use after each class to re-enforce what I've learned from class. Lastly, Gracie Boca Gym has been very welcoming family and though I only recently started I think I may have found my home away from home! Bottom line I am extremely glad I took the leap and joined Gracie Boca and look forward to training every time I go. Just do it!!!

My 11yr old has been practicing at Gracie for about six months and absolutely loves it. Not only has he learned new moves, he has developed good character and habits. He appreciates and respects his coaches and values the lessons he's learned

I've attended Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Boca Raton since it opened on September 29, 2022. It has 3 certified instructors. Since the head instructor is a black belt, it's a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu level IV certified training center and a great place to learn self-defense (street) Jiu-Jitsu.

We put our 7-year-old daughter in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu’s Bullyproof program about a year ago and watched her transform every week in such a positive way. She learned how to stand up for herself; it was such an amazing thing to witness! She uses the skills she learns in class on a daily basis. The coaches are so amazing and such a positive influence on the kids, and they treat everyone like family. I would 100% recommend them!!

From the moment I stepped into Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Boca Raton, I knew this place was special. The welcoming environment fostered by the staff and students made me immediately feel like part of the family, a sentiment echoed by everyone I met. The instructors here are world-class, especially Adrian Accay, deeply knowledgeable in the art of Jiu-Jitsu, and have an incredible way of breaking down complex techniques into digestible, understandable pieces. Their patience and dedication to each student's growth, regardless of age or level, are truly commendable. Whether it was for fitness, self-defense, or as a personal hobby, they helped everyone set, meet, and often exceed their goals. Beyond the impeccable quality of instruction, what stood out was the camaraderie and respect amongst all members. The sense of community here is strong, making every grueling session enjoyable and every success celebrated by all. Furthermore, the facility itself is top-notch. Clean, spacious, and equipped with everything needed for both gi and no-gi training. The attention to cleanliness and safety protocols, especially considering current health guidelines, made me feel comfortable and focused solely on my training. In conclusion, my experience at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Boca Raton has been nothing short of transformative. It's more than just a school for martial arts; it's a community that encourages personal growth, resilience, and respect for others. I couldn't recommend it more!

I have a deep appreciation for these coaches! They genuinely care about teaching both Jiujitsu skills and valuable life lessons to kids. We had our children at a UFC gym, but after joining the Gracie Boca club, the difference was remarkable. I can't recommend this gym high enough.

Very happy with my experience here for the past couple months learning the Gracie Combatives program! If you’re looking for a safe and comfortable environment to learn self defense and improve self confidence this is the place.

If you ever thought about learning and trying Jiu-Jitsu Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Boca Raton is the best! Their instructors Adrian and Basil were very welcoming and helped me from the start. All the students are super nice and I felt like I belonged there even thought it was my first day. The place is super clean and had a simple curriculum I can follow to track my progress. Check them out! You won’t be sorry you did!

We are absolutely enjoying Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie in Boca Raton! My son who is 6, seems to enjoy this way more than karate. The instructors are patient with the kids and we see their passion in their teaching... this is not a job! We appreciate the positive and welcoming attitude!
