The Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy states that its focus is to empower anyone regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability using the time-tested techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The academy describes its environment as safe and comfortable and states that it fosters mutual respect and empowers students of all ages to achieve their fullest potential and lead an improved quality of life. The academy states that it always gives students the highest quality of instruction and that it stands alone in its ability to offer a balance of sport jiu-jitsu and self-defense training, striving to teach techniques and confidence for effective and safe self-defense when necessary.
The academy reports that its instructors are qualified and have reached exceptional levels in the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The academy and its instructors are certified and recognized by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation and the United States Jiu-Jitsu Federation, and the academy states that, under these certifications, instructors have passed background checks and are recognized and certified to teach worldwide.
One parent from Blackfoot, ID, reports that his son has attended for 18 months, notes increased self-confidence and improved physical shape, and describes the instructors as excellent with a lot of one-on-one instruction. Another parent from Tracy, CA, reports that her daughter started Jiu-Jitsu twice a week about four weeks before her review, states that her daughter loves it, and describes the instructor Cristiano as an “amazing instructor” who is “super wonderful with the kids” and maintains the attention of the class. A reviewer from Sunnyvale, CA, states that there is no better training anywhere, emphasizes the importance of considering lineage and validity when choosing a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school, and contrasts his experience at this academy with a previous year at another location he describes as a hoax.
