Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy Elk Grove

I'm not a person who generally rates 5 stars to places but I have to give this place a 5. My daughter started with a trial when Gracie's first opened at this location. We didn't plan on staying long but my daughter loves it and has made some really good friends along the way.My son has now also joined the party and both kiddos love their coaches. They are learning life skills to protect themselves. We've referred quite a few friends and all that have joined have said their kiddos love it.I like how I am able to cater my schedule based on my kiddos other extracurricular activities unlike other places that have limited schedules. The flexibility for me as a parent is a number one factor on where I take my kids. If you are interested in having your kiddos learn self defense skills go give Gracie's a try. The coaches there are truly amazing and friendly.

My son attends Jiu-Jitsu here for a little over a year now & he loves it. Coach Ryan and coach Mark are amazing at what they do. We can see the improvement in his life skills! Highly recommend!

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!

Both of our kids go here for about 3 months now. All the coaches are amazing and patient with the kids. Our kiddo love going to practice and look forward to learning techniques. They already talk about going to the next competition. Awesome job, Coach Ryan and Coach Mark!

My daughter has been going here for a while now and absolutely loves it here!! Instructors are great!! Lots of learning and fun!!

My daughter absolutely loves this class and her teachers. She would tell me all the moves she has learned and her friends that she train with. I highly encourage parents to take their kids here If they are looking to have their kids learn Jiu-Jitsu. Thank you for supporting our community.

It's been almost a year since our 5 year old started class here. Thanks to the kind, compassionate & caring instructors, our 5 year old has now decided he wants to be a jiu-jitsu master! He absolutely loves it! We look forward to the continued lessons and growth with Coach Mark and Coach Ryan. We HIGHLY recommend!!

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 great Coach Ryan and Coach Mark are! They foster a positive and welcoming environment and provide expert guidance and support in every class. I love the balance between focus and fun. My girls leave class feeling accomplished and are always improving. They have learned invaluable skills and their confidence has grown. I cannot recommend them enough, they are the best!

We have been taking our 6 and 9 yr old twice a week for a year now and we have only positive things to say about Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Coach Ryan and Coach Mark are amazing with the kids. They keep the kids engaged, making it a fun, safe and positive environment . Our kids love it!! If you're considering checking this place out, you won't regret it!

My child has been going to Gracie for approx 5 months. He loves it and the instructors are great with the kids. Highly recommend.
