Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Virginia Beach

My grandson has always wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu, so I called several locations. Most only offered one free session, but Gracie Jiu-Jitsu stood out by giving two weeks free to make sure it was the right fit. From the very first class, my grandson was hooked—he couldn’t wait to join and get his gi! The sensei is truly outstanding. He works with all the kids individually, teaching not only Jiu-Jitsu techniques but also discipline, respect, and focus. The incentive system keeps the kids motivated, and the positive atmosphere is incredible. When my grandson earned his very first stripe, I was touched to see every student celebrate and congratulate him—it really felt like a family. He’s already making new friends, growing in confidence, and couldn’t be happier. I can’t recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu enough for anyone looking for a safe, encouraging, and inspiring place for their child to train.

Both of my children have been attending for approximately six months, and they have thoroughly enjoyed their experience. Mr. Keoni has been exceptional—he does a wonderful job, and the kids absolutely love him.

Best Jiu-jitsu training center in town. I’ve trained at 3 other gyms in the past and since coming to Gracie Jiu-jitsu Virginia Beach 5 years ago it was the best decision for my Jiu-jitsu journey. I'm grateful to have the best instructors but I think the best part is the culture on the mats the respect we have for each other and the passion to learn Jiu-jitsu in a safe and well rounded way. My hardest step was walking though the door after that its been a great journey since. Highly recommended and you can try Jiu-jitsu for free. The level of confidence you have after just a few months is something you appreciate for a life journey. 5 years later Jiu-jitsu is now a part of my life I'll never stop doing. Thanks Gracie Jiu-jitsu Virginia Beach.

I have two grandchildren who are enrolled at your Virginia Beach site. I live out of state but I always make a point of visiting them while they do their jiu-jitsu training. The Virginia Beach site is very clean and instructors are very professional. We feel confident with our children attending. Would recommend to anyone looking for this type of training.

If you are looking for a safe and comfortable training environment for women and children, I highly recommend this gym. Women are not only welcome on the mat, but they are encouraged. The women's instructors are trauma-informed, not just in theory but also in how they teach and interact with their students. The training atmosphere here is cooperative and supportive, creating a real sense of community. Safety is a top priority, both on the mat and in their approach to child protection. With transparent policies and procedures, they show a strong commitment to the safety and well-being of the children they serve. As a parent, it reassures me to know my children are being trained in a safe environment where they can grow and thrive. It is apparent that the instructors truly love what they do, as it shows in how they teach and care for their students. My children and I are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community.
