This is probably the most positive experience I have ever had in doing something that's different from my normal workouts I have ever done. It has help me develop different skills for self defense, discipline, and mental focus. My strength in feeling confident and motivated has grown. Not to mention Coach Ryan and coach Mark who are there to keep us motivated and engaged in class. It's a very family friendly place for all ages. My kids also go there and they love it. They do not like missing any days !

This place is amazing!! Both of my boys and I love training here and learning from such great instructors. The people that I’ve met here leave their ego at the door and foster a true sense of community. I look forward to many years of my family growing with this one.

My youngest daughter has been training at Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Elk Grove since March 2024. My oldest daughter was timid about joining at first but after watching her sister attend classes for a few months she was ready to join. This is a testament to how positive and encouraging the coaches are. Coach Ryan and Coach Mark are so great! They make sure everyone is learning and improving their skills in each class. I love the perfect balance between focus and fun. My girls have learned so much and their confidence has grown immensely. I cannot recommend them enough, they are the best!

My 6 year old son has been attending Gracie Jiu-Jitsu since May of this year and we love it! He’s excelled and was moved up from the 4-6 yo group to the 7-9 yo group. He’s learned discipline, respect and how to defend himself. He’s a quiet kid and bullying is a concern but I feel so much more confident that he’ll be able to stand up for himself. I also love that they incentivize the kids to have good behavior and character both on and off the mat!

It’s been over a year since my son has been attending classes here & I can see many positive changes in him. I love how easy going and how accommodating the coaches are, and they work so well with my son. My son really enjoys the interactions he gets on the mat with his classmates and coaches. I highly recommend bringing your child here or even yourself.
