Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy Ormond Beach - Ormond Beach, Florida

Brenna Azer

This place is full of passion. Passion to teach Jujitsu. My 6 year old son loves coming here. He feels like he is respected as a person and he has formed relationships with his coaches. Nothing brings more joy to a parents heart than to hear your child say they love what they are learning and they feel important to the people that are teaching them. If you want a place that will teach your child respect for themselves and their peers while learning to protect themselves , this is the place. We are so happy this facility opened, and look forward to the rest of the journey.

We have been training Gracie Jiu-Jitsu through the Gracie University curriculum for several years. We have grown to thoroughly enjoy training along with meeting great people. We are very excited about the opening of the Ormond Beach location. The instruction is top notch and we enjoyed being a part of the opening of the facility. We look forward to continuing our growth and development along with growing with our new BJJ family.

Authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

Mark is a very good instructor who not only has a deep understanding of Jiu-Jitsu but also creates a positive and supportive learning environment. His passion for the martial art is contagious, and his attention to detail ensures that everyone progresses at their own pace.

The academy itself is spacious and clean, with top-quality mats that make training comfortable and safe.

I like the well-structured curriculum, which covers a wide range of techniques and allows me to continually challenge myself.

I’ve trained at a few martial arts academies, and this place truly stands out. The high-quality mats are super comfortable, making training safe for everyone from kids to adults. It’s the only Gracie-certified academy in Volusia County, so you know you’re learning authentic techniques from a knowledgeable instructor. The facility is clean, well-equipped with an AC to keep it cool, and has all the amenities—sanitizing stations, bathrooms, changing rooms, and even seating for family and friends to watch. If you’re looking for a genuine, welcoming place to train, this is it.

Just Wow!!! I took my first class at the Brand New Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy-Ormond Beach, as a beginner white belt, on their first day open.
What I expected was a small gathering of some new students. Boy was i surprised to find a huge turnout of young ones for the earlier “Bully Proof” class for kids, as well as a good bunch of adults for the “Combative's” class.
The atmosphere was electric! The kids energy was high and they were having so much fun and learning some great life skills at the same time.
The adult class was great and the certified Instructors were constantly engaged and clearly knowledgeable of the curricula.
Thanks Marc for your leadership! I’m really looking forward to my next class!
