Gracie Humaitá is amazing. I had my son signed up for a while and my son grew a lot, not only in ju Jitsu but also in his confidence and discipline. The instructors are truly amazing with the kids and want each of them to be as successful as possible.

My son (college age) trains at Gracie Humaitá and loves it. He was recently up for a belt promotion. Coach Shawn was very gracious and coordinated it so I could come into town and see him tie the hard earned blue belt around my son’s waist. I can’t say enough good things about a professor that runs his school with that kind of personal consideration for his students

My daughter has been attending classes for over two years. The culture here is incredible. They focus on being great human beings first then developing their skills. I’d recommend any parent that is looking for an activity that will fill their little ones with confidence and increase their self esteem to enroll them at Gracie Humaita.

Shawn Woods and his instructors are top notch. It is the nicest facility I have ever seen. Our mat space is huge and we have a plethora of class options. Our environment is unlike any other. The other classmates will welcome you warmly and get acquainted to class and the mats. Do you want to learn self defense, get stronger, lose weight, push yourself, see what this is all about or all of the above? Come try a class for free. We have no contracts and our head instructor will be happy to answer any of your questions

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Humaita Columbia. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Gracie Humaita Columbia welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Gracie Humaita Columbia train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
