Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

This business has had a profound positive impact on my life and my two sons. I’ve been training here for 4 years and the culture is exceptional and every student shares mutual respect for each other. We typically don’t tell life stories while we drill and roll in the classes. We don’t see what stokes their fire, we just feel the results of it. After our matches, we shake hands, talk about the match then go separate ways. Then, twice a year at the belt ceremony, I get to hear from the people I train with tell great stories of the struggles they found strength and persevered through as they get promoted. Every belt ceremony I attend reveals how much passion gets inspired when someone works hard to create the discipline necessary to train Jiu-Jitsu. I hear stories of people that I go to battle with that doesn’t come out when I drill with them. This is one of the motivating factors that keeps me training. Crosley and Ryan created an environment for people to showcase the pinnacle of their effort, not what they can BS. The mats don’t lie. Most businesses can’t offer the service of delivering pure truth. But Crosley can… If you’re looking to work hard, learn a difficult skill and be able to protect yourself, this is the place to join.

Crossley Gracie gym has been incredible for our family. Both my sons attend, and the coaches have an amazing ability to balance discipline with fun while shaping good character. One of my sons used to be a really bad sport when he lost, and by his third or fourth class he was already showing real sportsmanship, something we’d tried for a long time to teach at home. That alone blew me away. The coaches are supportive, motivating, and genuinely invested in every child. The children are all so focused because they love learning and participating. Most dojo owners don’t care for the small trivial stuff or the “little people”, but all the students get excited to see Crosley and the coaches, they all greet them no matter how busy it is, and treat everyone like they’re an important part of a solid community! My husband even says he’d stay in Brentwood just for this gym when I try float the idea of moving away!

5 years ago I was brand new to Jiu Jitsu, I started here after being referred by some friends and I don’t regret it. The classes are well structured with safety in mind and the instructors are all helpful with a variety of backgrounds. I have learned and grown a lot during my time here and it certainly is a welcoming place for those considering getting into this art. You will not only get a workout in but learn more about yourself in this new skill along with making some friends along the way.

I have been a proud member of Crosley Gracie's academy since 2022. Both my children have been training here since 2023 and 2025 respectively. Fantastic family atmosphere as many of the adult students have children participating in the youth programs. My family is looking forward to many more years of learning the gentle art from Crosley and Ryan!

I signed up for their free Self Defense Seminar on a whim. My husband and two boys train in jiujitsu, and although martial arts is not my preferred method of exercise, I figured it couldn’t hurt to learn some techniques to protect myself. I’m so thankful I did! I already knew through my experiences with my family attending Crosley Gracie that the class would be warm, fun, welcoming and inclusive, so despite it being my first time on the mat, I felt comfortable right away. In just 2 hours I learned several techniques that could help me in the event of an attack, and had fun while doing it. Thank you to Crosley, Ryan and the other instructors for offering this opportunity to educate our community on how to stay safe.
