Impact jiu jitsu Portland is an excellent gym that is very friendly and inviting. Tony Gracia is one of the best coaches I've had the pleasure learning from. Tony has a black belt in Judo and a 2nd degree black belt in jiu jitsu. Tony teaches jiu jitsu and judo in a way that is easily digestible and immediately applicable in the mat room and the competition floor. Tony can teach all levels effectively and is great at tailoring instruction and moves to individuals which is vital as a coach. Whether you're a brand new white belt or an experienced black belt Tony has something to teach you.

I’ve been training here since May 2024 and really appreciate the positive environment Tony and his instructors have built. Jiu-jitsu can be tough, but Tony ensures everyone trains safely, shows respect, and keeps a great attitude. I’m committed to continuing my training here and recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming, non-intimidating place to start.

I’ve been taking jiu jitsu classes here for almost a year and a half, and I can’t say enough incredible things about this gym. Broadly speaking, this gym feels like community. So many wonderful people and hard-working and deserving local owners. I could not recommend them enough. For jiu jitsu in particular, this is the BEST place to learn as a beginner. Thoughtful attendees, safe protocols, and a curriculum that’s easy to jump in to. I’m so happy that I started my journey here, because I feel like I’m learning fundamentals in an environment that prioritizes safety first and foremost. I felt immediately welcome and have been going weekly ever since! If you’re looking to get into jiu jitsu, this is the place you want to start.
