I was a drop in. The facility is beautiful with tons of mat space and places to sit or change out. The location was easy to find. Bathrooms and changing areas were clean. Ben and his team were very welcoming and polite. Ben is a great coach and competitor. He offers tons of classes for a variety of experience levels. If you are looking for a great gym to learn or train at look no further. I will be returning as soon as I’m in the area again.

Training under Professor Ben has been a transformative experience in my Jiu-Jitsu journey. His outstanding ability to explain and demonstrate techniques allows students of all levels to learn and grow continuously. Every class is filled with valuable lessons, no matter where you are in your journey. The training atmosphere is exceptional—everyone feels like family. The camaraderie among students creates not only a fun learning experience but also a safe space to hone our skills. I wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their Jiu-Jitsu while having a blast!

I was traveling and stayed in Largo for a month. Found this club to train at while on the road and loved it. Had a great time learning from the coach and working out with the students. I loved how clean the mats are kept. I would recommend going if you have a chance to it felt like my Jiu Jitsu family back home.

I have been attending Gracie Jiu Jitsu in Largo for about a month now, and I have been very impressed with both the training and the art of Jiu Jitsu itself. I am 56 years old, I have never done any martial arts training before this, and I am not sporty or athletic to any real degree. I have experienced training with Coach Ben, Coach Jared, Coach Andreas, and Coach Chris. The one thing I can say about all of these trainers is that they are incredibly patient and encouraging. What impresses me most is the commitment they have to training the very people who need Jiu Jitsu the most...people like me who start out with no experience or any real athletic ability. Additionally, I have felt welcomed and listened to by both Professor Ben and Coach Jen. They really do their level best to maintain an atmosphere of encouragement and family. I strongly recommend this studio to anyone who is contemplating learning a martial art, be it for self-defense, fitness, or increasing one's confidence.

I normally train at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Boca Raton, but while traveling through Tampa my coaches encouraged me to check out Gracie Jiu Jitsu Largo. From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel at home. Coach Ben’s attention to detail and the way he broke down technique really helped sharpen my game. The school has an awesome energy and a welcoming vibe. Big thanks to Coach Ben and the team—can’t wait to stop by again next time I’m in town. And if you’re ever in Boca, come visit us too! 🙏🏼
