Gracie Jiu Jitsu Monterey reviews

Rated 4.7/5 across 47 Google reviews.

Highly recommend! We've been part of this jiu-jitsu studio for about a year now, and we absolutely love it! My daughter is completely obsessed with her classes (Mat Munchkins) - telling everyone about her progress and even holding her own when older kids test her. The instructors are amazing, and truly care about the kids (Coach Sam & Coach Josh, you rock!). It's been incredible to watch the studio grow; when we first started, there were just a few students, and now the class has grown to around 20 kids. We’re so thankful to be part of this community and can’t imagine a better place for my girl to learn and thrive. We love Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Monterey!
My daughter’s and I started a 10 day free trial. During our first day, I really enjoyed the class. Staff were very nice and the environment felt safe and comfortable. My daughters were a bit nervous and shy but I love how staff made my kids feel welcomed and other kids in their class were able to introduce themselves to my kids which made them feel more comfortable and less nervous.They had such an amazing time during their first class and had nothing but good things to say and that they wanted to continue going even after the class one of my daughters did not want to take off her uniform off. There is a clean changing area and bathroom in case needed. My kids have been asking me everyday when is there next class. They are looking forward to continuing.
My 5-year-old tried a trial class at Gracie’s Jiu Jitsu and it was a wonderful experience. The instructors were patient, engaging, and made the class really fun for kids. Unfortunately, we couldn’t continue due to our schedule, but the team was very understanding. The cancellation and refund process was quick and easy, and cooperative. I truly appreciate their professionalism and highly recommend them for families looking into Jiu Jitsu for their kids! We definitely hope to join in the future if it works out.
I highly recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu on Lighthouse! I’m so glad I attended the free Self Defense Seminar. They offer a 10 day trial if you missed this limited time opportunity. The Jiu Jitsu 101 lesson was so much fun, I’m eager to learn more! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They kindly guide you so that you may improve the techniques being taught. The classes offered as a membership are really affordable. I encourage anyone that may be interested to give Gracie Jiu Jitsu a try!
After having practiced at my job (as a military) before, I joined the school because I felt I really needed basics and better understanding of moves' purposes. Best decision taken the last years. What I love most about training is what I call the learning system. You can look at instructional videos and print handouts. Then you execute what you saw on the videos and handouts on at home and in class. In class, being prepared, you notice your own mistakes and take notes after class on the handouts that you printed. Next time you have that lesson, you just make sure you don't make the mistakes that you already noted. Everything is facilitated so that you can create your own feedback loops and demonstrate the best version of yourself. Welcome in one of the most efficient learning system. The extent to which you are a believer in the Gracie philosophy and the extent to which you compete with yourself can drastically impact multiple aspects o
My daughter attended here for bullyproof kids and now for women empowerment classes. We love the instructors and she is learning so much. I have seen her confidence improve and it’s been great for character building. This is helping our entire family as we all learn about being a positive community member and feel empowered to defend ourselves. I love the way they teach and manage classes. They’re inclusive in every way. It’s giving our kid positive messaging while the word out there can be very harsh and challenging. This has helped our family a lot! A worthwhile investment!
