I have trained at many BJJ academies over the years, and I can honestly say that Gracie North Peoria stands out. From day one, you can feel that this place breeds the right culture for learning the martial art the way it is meant to be learned. There is a strong emphasis on technique, fundamentals, and true understanding, not just winning rounds. The instructors genuinely care about your growth, and your training partners push you while still looking out for you. What really separates Gracie North Peoria is the culture of respect. Everyone trains hard, but ego does not run the room. You will learn the art, you will be challenged, and you will improve, but you will also wake up the next morning able to continue living your life. The culture is the best thing about this gym. If you are looking for a place where you can grow in jiu jitsu and as a person, this is it.

This place is AMAZING!! No trophy-chasers here - Matt and his staff are kind, personable, professional, and knowledgeable… they’ve gone above & beyond on several occasions with patience, technique, and their pure love for this sport. We couldn’t be happier to have our whole family training here!

Our family started here within the last year. We have three boys. All of them love it. The coaches are so caring, genuine, invested, competent, and intentional. Coach Matt has specifically helped my son with ASD gain confidence in himself that he did not have before. His gentle, caring, personality has helped my son push himself to what he is able to achieve and feel confident in what he is capable of. This has been a safe place for my son to try and fail and try again because of the positive, team-oriented environment cultivated here. All abilities and strengths are celebrated here while still pushing the kids to grow from where they are.
