format_quote 5 / 5 Stars Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs is an AMAZING school. What brought us in was the Bullyproof program for our 3 kids, but we have expanded since then. Over 2 years later, we have the entire family enrolled. My wife LOVES the Women Empowerment classes, and as a 20-year BJJ practitioner and enthusiast, I am excited about the return to self-defense focused training. The coaches and staff are friendly, courteous, and always filled with positive energy. They are not only knowledgeable about the systematic training methods, but also well versed in how to connect with students of all ages in a way that promotes safety, progress, and collaboration. There are not enough words to express our appreciation for this school. I can only hope that you can experience it for yourself and begin your own journey.

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars Being new to jiu jitsu, everything seemed very daunting. But the organization of this system made it easy for my wife and I to start feeling confident on the mat. Even when we are learning new material we know that Coach Henry isn't afraid to stop and help whenever something isn't clicking. Its also super helpful that all the classes are available to watch online, you can review, or you can do like my wife does, and watch the videos before class to help reduce any stress about having to do brand new stuff.

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars I've had an incredible experience so far at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs! Coach Henry and Coach Berto are both extremely knowledgeable and do a fantastic job of breaking things down in a way that makes learning Jiu-Jitsu feel approachable and effective. The Gracie Combatives program is proven and well-structured, making it easy to pick up techniques without feeling overwhelmed or thrown into the deep end. This is something I unfortunately experienced at other local gyms. Here, there's a real focus on understanding the fundamentals and building confidence at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Adult Co-Ed Martial Arts Program.

remove

Do I need to be fit for this?

There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.

Our students start at all different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by doing our BJJ classes at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs.

remove

I have no experience, what do I do?

Just show up! Upon arriving, you will be given a uniform (called a “gi”) and will be given a focused introductory lesson by one of our instructors before you join in the group class.

Every beginner class is taught with no previous experience necessary, so you will not feel left behind.

Our program is structured by class number (23 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You can even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start!

I’m not very sporty or co-ordinated. Will that be a problem?

Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes may have described themselves like that before they started. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes. You will fit right in!

Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at what your body is capable of, and how much you can improve! Our certified martial arts instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple, effective, and beginner-focused. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for women?

Absolutely! Specifically because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has proven reliable in defending against larger opponents for nearly a century, it is the perfect martial art for women.

Many women train in our Women Empowered® program and then transfer into our co-ed Gracie Combatives classes. However, both programs are suitable for female beginners. 

We love seeing the physical confidence develop in our female students as they gain self-defense skills on the mat!

What do I need to bring to my first martial arts lesson?

Upon arriving for your first jiu-jitsu class, we will provide a uniform, called a gi, for you wear. We recommend showing up in comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that you can wear under your gi. We will also have training attire available for purchase after your class.
