Gracie Humaita Cedar Crest - NM

Gracie Humaita Cedar Crest is a unique gym because of the quality of care put into the individual. It has been a safe space for women to train and learn how to defend themselves as well as those who are interested in martial arts but have pre-existing injuries. The cleanliness of the facilities and professional demeanor of the Gracie Humaita team makes this place a home for all.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Than Just Jiu-Jitsu – A Second Home for Our Family Gracie Humaita Cedar Crest has been such a huge part of our family’s life. Our kids have grown up on those mats, and the impact that Professor Kati and Professor Terry have had on them goes far beyond jiu-jitsu. They’ve helped shape our children into confident, respectful, and strong young people. The kind of people who don’t give up when things get hard. Who know how to work as a team. Who believe in themselves. This place isn’t just about martial arts, it’s about legacy, discipline, and real community. Professor Kati teaches with so much care and strength, and Professor Terry is always there with encouragement and guidance. You can tell they truly want every student to succeed, not just as athletes, but as people. They teach that it is not always about winning, but about growing. We’re proud to be part of the Gracie Humaita Cedar Crest family. Our kids will carry what they’ve learned here with them for the rest of their lives. If you’re looking for a place where your kids will be challenged, supported, and truly cared for, this is it. Thank you, Kati and Terry, from the bottom of our hearts.

Met Terry, Katie, Jared and Shelby at a jiu jitsu retreat in Costa Rica last year and enjoyed their company during classes and at meal time. So when we found ourselves passing through New Mexico this week, we made sure to stop in and roll at their school. What a beautiful school! Huge glass front, vaulted ceilings with wood beams, spring loaded floor under the mats and a warm atmosphere with lots of joviality and great jiu jitsu. Grateful for their hospitality and instruction. Can’t wait to stop in again on our way home!

This place is a literal gem. The owners take such great pride in their business and take such good care of the facility and the people that attend. If you're in the east mountains looking for a place for BJJ or judo or women's self defense, this is the place. It's amazing and you can feel the care and passion they have. And it just feels safe and inspiring here. My kids went and unfortunately their school changed release time, so we unfortunately haven't been in a while but we hope they change it because we can't wait until we can get back there. I highly recommend Gracie Humaita Cedar Crest.

I have attended this school for around 3 years and it has become a cornerstone in the EastMountain community, there is something for everyone here from young kids to adults. Jiujitsu is for everyone and Gracie Humaita Cedar Crest certainly makes that clear.
