The positive experience my entire family has had at DŌ Jiu Jitsu is simply unmatched. From the moment we walked through the doors the coaches made us feel welcome and like a priority. In addition to supporting our goals in Jiu Jitsu, the academy has supported our overall development on and off the mats. The structure and discipline instilled by the academy rolls over into all aspects of our lives. If you are looking for a good work out, great people and a safe place to learn and grow DŌ Jiu Jitsu is the place for you. Thank you to the entire team of coaches for such an amazing experience.

I train here with my daughters and we’ve all really fallen in love with this place. The coaches are awesome — super knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. The adult classes are intense in the best way, always pushing you to grow, but it never feels overwhelming or unwelcoming. What I really appreciate is the vibe. Everyone is respectful, helpful, and there’s a real sense of community. My daughters are learning a ton and gaining confidence, and I’m constantly challenged and improving too. It’s just a great spot to train, learn, and be part of something solid. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking about jumping into BJJ.

Knowing now how much my kids love jiu-jitsu and how much value they get from the classes, my only regret is not signing them up sooner. I have seen my kids' confidence greatly improve, as well as their ability to focus, follow directions, and socialize with other kids. The coaches always set a great example for the kids by showing up to class with positive energy. I am so happy that my kids are not just learning jiu-jitsu and how to handle tough situations, but also the skills they need to succeed in life.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Downtown Modesto. 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 Jiu Jitsu Downtown Modesto welcomes complete beginners.

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 Jiu Jitsu Downtown Modesto 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.
