Highly recommend checking this place out. Great environment, open and inviting, and they are great with kids. The gym is big and clean with a great open atmosphere. Mark and Eric are awesome instructors.

I love this gym! Years ago I tried joining a fight gym just learn how to do some self defense. But that gym turned out to be “beat up the new guy.” This gym is nothing like that. It’s very friendly, easy to follow training. I wish I had found them years ago! A thousand stars!

Extremely professional and welcoming environment. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and exceptionally patient, making sure each student gains a solid understanding of the skills being taught. I have no regrets joining. Truly a great decision.

This is the 4th Jiu-Jitsu gym I've trained at and I am very happy here. The instructors are excellent at giving enough information to be useful but not so much that you get overwhelmed. They're also great at answering questions. Instructors and students are friendly, and the facility is nice and clean.

Wonderful studio. The instructors, Mark and Eric, are both genuinely good people. They’re always encouraging and make me feel like coming back again and again. And again! The Combatives program is a well oiled machine that works smoothly in hour long increments. Highly recommend.

Great dojo, clean, and a supportive environment. I've been in martial arts for my entire life and have been apart of many really toxic and competitive dojos. This place isn't that. 10/10. I also really like the online education to help along with the classes

We love this place! We wanted to try something new for our son and are loving it. The community is great - everyone is so friendly, he's gaining confidence and learning so much.

Quality instruction from a great group of coaches who do everything they can to make the people who walk through the door feel comfortable and welcome. They do a good job of differentiating to the various skill levels, and are always helpful towards new or inexperienced members. They have both morning and evening sessions, so its easier than a lot of gyms to fit into your schedule. Whether you're training to compete, or just looking for a place to learn some self-defense and get in shape, Gracie Jiu-jitsu in St. Louis is the place.

Best gym around. The coaches have many years of instructional/competitive experience, in multiple combat sports/martial-arts. There is a high degree of professionalism in the gym, while also promoting a fun and family-friendly atmosphere. I'll be there tomorrow night if anyone wants to get "darce'd." ; )

You won't find a gym with nicer coaches and a friendlier atmosphere. I highly recommend coming in and meeting the team at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu STL!

I am glad I found Gracie Jiu-Jitsu St Louis. The programming here is structured a little different than the classes he was in before we moved to STL so I was curious if this new format would work for my son. It was clear after a few sessions that my concerns were not worth holding on to any more. Not only are the classes great ways to teach him important self-defense skills, they also help him with broader lessons on things like manners & character. Plus, my 6 year old son loves it here & he's excited to come to class 3 nights per week. We could not recommend it more!

Solid gym! Instructors Eric, Mark and Luis welcomed me on day 1. They are all very approachable, knowledgeable and patient teachers. I previously trained at another BJJ gym out of state, which was also very good, but the key differences here have been how well they implement safety into every class and clearly break down each technique step by step. At the other gym I trained at, they allowed me to spar starting on day 1 which was fun, but I had no idea what I was doing and I ended up getting injured a couple of times throughout my 2 years there. The Gracie system is set up to where you must complete the Combatives course (self-defense BJJ foundational techniques) first as well as train at the gym for at least 8 months prior to sparring to help mitigate injury. This gym has programs for children and adults alike with plenty of mat space to accommodate. The space is clean and well kept. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn the gold standard of BJJ techniques (The Gracie way) in a safe and welcoming environment.

I dropped in from out of town and brought my fiancé along for her first ever class. Great facilities, clean mats, and a friendly environment. Instructors were instantly welcoming, helping us as soon as we walked in. The instructors were knowledgeable and excellent at teaching both beginners and more advanced students. I stayed for the advanced class and they offered my fiancé a free fitness class while she waited on me. I’ll be coming here for any future trips to St. Louis and I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu for self defense, competition, or fitness!

Very clean and friendly instructors. Their combative program was very easy to get started with for someone coming in with no experience!

Fantastic martial arts gym with a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The coaches are incredibly friendly and skilled, making it a great place for beginners and experienced fighters alike. Everyone is encouraged to push their limits while having fun. I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-jitsu for anyone looking to get fit, train with competition as a goal, or just to join a positive community.

We feel like we’ve found our third place with Gracie! Not only are the instructors knowledgeable, fantastic and engaging at every age level, the families that attend are very friendly and make you feel a part from the get go. If you’re in the fence- just try it out, you really won’t regret it!
