We absolutely love Gracie Brandon! From day one, the instructors have been patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at teaching kids of all ages. They make the classes fun while also focusing on discipline, respect, and teamwork.
The progress my child has made in both confidence and skills is amazing to see. The facility is clean and well-organized, and they foster such a positive environment. It's more than just a martial arts school—it's a community. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a great place for their kids to learn and grow.

Awesome gym! Welcoming, clean, and great staff. Love that it is connected to the coffee shop. Feels like a strong "community" and 'home." Many different times for lessons/flexibility. Coaches are really there for the team when they compete!

My family and I have been training at Gracie Brandon since March 2022. This community has become our extended family and home away from home.

Our family has enjoyed boxing, wrestling, muay thai, and jiu-jitsu classes. The expert instructors are down to earth yet still remain passionate and curious about their craft. They are continually looking to improve on what they already know and have experienced.

The instructors are also great at connecting with students at every level to help each one on their own personal journey of becoming a better version of themselves.

This is a safe, family atmosphere that looks out for one another on and off the mats. Life eventually throws some real difficulties our way and can hand us some potentially devastating losses. It's great to be part of a community that rallies around those who are going through it.

It's also great when we gather at a competition or to watch our fighters on the screen. We cheer on from near and far as our peers compete at state and national wrestling tournaments, ADCC competitions, and sanctioned MMA, muay thai, and boxing.

Personally, I have lost 15lbs and have kept it off at 50 years old. I have gained strength, flexibility, and endurance and am in far better condition than I was even 10-15 years ago. I have watched my teen and adult daughter's get stronger and more confident in all areas of their lives. My wife and out of state family come and train here occasionally as well.

We have also had some great bjj seminars here with Nicky Rodriguez, Giancarlo Bodoni, and most recently, Andrew Tackett, all within the past two years!

If you're looking for a place to connect and be a better you then come check out Gracie Brandon!

Joining has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. All classes push me mentally and physically. All coaches are helpful and dedicated to your success. I reccomend ut for anyone.

Had high hopes but apparently they don't need my money or me there. Didn't feel welcoming at all. I attempted to sign up 3 times over 9 days and was told I would be called only to finally go in for another class to see if I could sign up and was essentially ignored. I don't get it, 25 years ago Rorion Gracie personally spoke with me on my first time in about the benefits and his passion of Jiu Jitsu and then gave a free 1 hour private class. That's not happening here. No acknowledgement or even care that you show up. Maybe the classes are good, but I'll never know. ?‍♂️

I have been training at Gracie Brandon for about 3 years, and it has been an outstanding experience. The gym is well-equipped, clean, and fosters a welcoming environment for practitioners of all levels.

The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated, offering personalized guidance and pushing each student to reach their full potential. Their expertise in Muay Thai is evident, and they ensure that every session is both challenging and rewarding.

One of the highlights is the strong sense of community. Fellow members are supportive and motivated, creating a positive and energetic atmosphere that makes training enjoyable.

Classes are varied, incorporating technique drills, sparring sessions, and conditioning workouts, which keeps the training dynamic and engaging. The gym also offers flexible schedules, making it convenient for anyone with a busy lifestyle.

Overall, Gracie Brandon is an exceptional place to train Muay Thai, whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced fighter aiming to hone your skills. Highly recommended!

In January, 2023, I decided to start training in BJJ and after one year, I can say that joining Gracie Brandon is the best thing I've done for myself. I'm learning a very valuable skill, I've made great friends, and am in the best shape I've been in years. Gracie Brandon has classes throughout the day and evening for adults and kids, and are taught by great instructors.

I've been attending Gracie Brandon for a few weeks now and I would highly recommend it. The staff has been extremely nice and attentive to me throughout the whole process considering I am new to this. I appreciate them for taking the time out to not only teach me the ways of BJJ but also give me the best hospitality possible!!
