The team at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu hosted a self-defense workshop for my church women’s group based on their Women Empowered curriculum. It was an amazing afternoon! We walked away with multiple techniques that we all were able to successfully demonstrate in the class. The blend of teaching between Katie and David was so well balanced. We had a mix of ages and ability and EVERYONE was successful. I highly recommend them for your group needs!!

Excellent experience!! We joined a little while back and are happy we did. Both of our boys are loving it and doing very well. It's a confidence booster for them for sure! David and Katie (owners) are really great with kids and keep it interesting. David and Katie have an amazing character and teach really great things to children!!! Highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, especially the one in Goodlettsville, TN.

I will always recommend Gracie Jiu-jitsu of Goodlettsville to anyone that will listen. Since starting my journey with them in January, my confidence has come back. When I first came I was shy and timid and was really unsure if i belonged. But Katie and David really took me under their wing and made me feel so welcome. Coming to a women’s empowered intro class changed my life and was the best decision. I have learned so much and will continue to learn much more! ❤️❤️❤️

The women’s empowerment class is AMAZING, and very empowering. I think all females should take this class to gain self-defense experience considering how dangerous the world is. My daughter is truly enjoying her classes! I love that they make it fun, but also informative for the littles!

We've been visiting and researching a few martial arts and jiujitsu options in the Hendersonville/Goodlettsvile area. David and this location provided the best experience. David's instruction in the bullyproof and kids program was enthusiastic and authentic. Not only that, it's a very inclusive environment for everyone. It felt like a community. All the other parents were very friendly and welcoming, something I don't often experience in Hendersonville 😒. Gracie in Goodlettsvile is the place for our family.
