One parent reported that after 18 months of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes, their son’s self-confidence increased and his physical condition improved, and they described the instructors as excellent and providing a lot of one-on-one instruction. Another parent shared that their daughter started Jiu-Jitsu twice a week and that she enjoys it, and they described instructor Cristiano as very good with the kids and able to keep the class’s attention. A third testimonial stated that there is “no better training anywhere” and emphasized the importance of considering the lineage and validity of any Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school.

The academy offers a free introductory Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class, which can be scheduled by calling or stopping by. For the introductory lesson, a uniform is provided, and families are advised to bring a bottle of water and flip-flops to wear outside of the mat area. Only Charles Gracie Gis are allowed on the mat, and visitor gis are available for drop-ins. Students ages 7–9 have classes that place emphasis on teamwork, self-defense, and leadership. Students ages 10–15 move beyond the basics of Jiu-Jitsu, learning new techniques while continuing to work on the fundamentals. The adults program is described as “Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at its best” with “time tested and proven techniques.”
