Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is absolutely amazing. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about their students not just as athletes, but as people. The environment is welcoming, clean, and family-friendly, which makes a huge difference, especially for kids. You can tell safety, discipline, and confidence are a top priority here. My child has grown so much in confidence and skills since starting, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality jiu jitsu training in a positive atmosphere!

This is a very well coordinated and organized class for kids. My daughter just turned 8 and has enjoyed her first few sessions. The instructors do an excellent job of keeping the kids on task, ensuring they have fun and remain engaged. I highly recommend!

My son just started jiu-jitsu here and so far we’ve had a great experience. The instructors are informative, patient, and great with kids. The environment feels welcoming and positive, and my son is excited to come back for each class. We’re really happy with our choice and looking forward to seeing him grow here!

Our experience with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has been wonderful. When my child first started, he was nervous and cried a little, but the instructors were patient, kind, and never forced him, which helped him quickly relax and have fun. As a parent, I felt supported and reassured by the program’s structure and focus on safety. I also train as an adult and have experienced the same professionalism and encouragement. It’s been great watching my child gain confidence while enjoying my own Jiu-Jitsu journey as well.

We signed up for the free 10 day trial and after the first class my daughter was sold. She loves it there at Gracie already and we are very impressed with the instructors.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Yes! We encourage all newcomers to come in and try a class before committing. Your first class at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Ocean Springs is complimentary — just call us or drop by to get started. No experience or equipment is required for your trial.

DO I NEED ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO START TRAINING BJJ?

Absolutely not. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Ocean Springs welcomes complete beginners as a Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers®-affiliated academy. Our adult fundamentals program is specifically designed for people with no martial arts background. You will learn the core techniques at a pace that builds real confidence on the mat.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, athletic shorts and a t-shirt are perfectly fine. Once you decide to train regularly, we recommend a BJJ gi (uniform) for gi classes. Our staff can point you toward quality gear options when you visit Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Ocean Springs.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN TO PROGRESS IN BJJ?

Most students at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Ocean Springs train 2 to 4 times per week and see excellent progress at that frequency. Consistency is more important than volume — showing up regularly and drilling the fundamentals will accelerate your development more than sporadic intense training.

Yes! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Ocean Springs has dedicated youth programs for children and teens in 2200 Bienville Blvd.; Suite D. Our kids' BJJ classes teach self-defense, discipline, and respect in a safe, structured environment. Youth students build confidence and physical literacy while having a great time on the mats.
