Gracie Martial Arts Tampa Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense

Jana Pauls

I highly recommend Gracie! I've done different martial arts and was always reluctant to do Jiu-Jitsu because there are very few girls doing it, and let's be real, who wants to roll around on the floor with random guys? I am SO GLAD I checked out the Women Empowered program! And because the instructors are very professional and attentive I even enrolled in Combatives and I'M LOVING IT! Come check it out!

Awesome instructors and ego-free environment. Emiliano and Saulo are very professional, very friendly, and truly care about their students as people. I'm so glad I started my jiu jitsu journey with them, and I plan to be there for many years to come, Lord willing.

I'm sure that everyone has their own reasons to why they start taking Self Defense Classes. For some it may be due to some unprecedented situation and for other's maybe just for the sport; and all of those reasons, far, wide , and in between are welcome here. In the studio, you not only get to work with amazing individuals, but you can be assured that the skills and techniques that you learn are: Practical, Reasonable, and Applicable. In every way, the instructors ensure that they are communicating effectively and with detail so that you are assured in not just your safety, but also for those who are around you that you may be working with (Aka: Pairing). Know that when you come (cause I'm super hoping that you will), that your questions are welcome here, the schedules are flexible, and well....I can't really find a reason why you shouldn't come. :)

This is a great school with outstanding instructors! I had no previous martial arts experience so I didn’t know what to expect. The staff are very knowledgeable and hospitable. The classes are well structured and broken down in a way that makes it easy to build a foundation. If you’re looking for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school come see what it’s about with a trial.
