I have been training at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Monroe for over a month now and really enjoy it. Instructor Paul is very patient and works with every student to make sure they learn self-defense techniques they need to defend themselves. It is also a great way to stay in shape and meet very nice people.

As someone looking to learn self defense and get some good exercise in my late 40s this studio is a great place to train. The instructors are amazing and welcoming and make sure students are comfortable and learning the correct way to perform the techniques. Highly recommend!

My son wanted to learn self defense. I was familiar with the Gracie name back in California and was excited to know there was one in Monroe. They welcomed us in and showed my son and myself some moves on the first day. The Instructor and the other students encourages each other, its given my son a whole new confidence. I personally have learned a lot. I have met some great people that are not just training partners, but now friends. For my son this was a big win from becoming from a shy and insecure teenager to a very confident young man thanks to Gracie Jiu Jitsu Monroe!

If your looking to work on the ground game then this is the place. A good benefit is you get to ultilize all the Gracie centres across the world provided you pay for home location. I came visiting here for work and Paul was a great instructor and there is a good group of people here. Go check it out.

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 Monroe. 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 Monroe 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 Jiu-Jitsu Monroe 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?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Monroe. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
