Gracie Jiu Jitsu of Grand Junction is the Best Martial Arts School in the Grand Valley, with all that they offer for the whole family. Children BullyProof, Women Empowered, Gracie Combatives and Master Cycle. We as a family have found that the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Gentle Art Method is the best way to prepare to defend with verbal confidence and not with violence. Fighting Fire with Water. We as a family have witnessed the change in our lives since starting over a year ago. Jason and Desiree expertly teach Jiu Jitsu with patience, kindness and Great knowledge, we are proud to say we are part of the Gracie Jiu Jitsu family, lead by the Padilla family.
Update: We have been with Gracie for 3 years now, and it is one of the most enriching experiences we have had. I have three kids with different personalities who have all benefitted by the care and intention put into coaching them with compassion and expertise. This isn’t just another activity to do. This is joining a community where my children are mentored by highly trained in teaching and jiu jitsu I completed the women empowered program over 18 months. The community of women built is a highlight of the program. Acquiring the skills to protect myself in a multitude of circumstances has been transformative. The class is taught so that a beginner is never out of their depth. It makes hard topics palatable and approachable. Previous review: Finding this community has been a dream come true. Jason and Desiree teach with expertise and affirmation that has created a culture full of people who feel good learning something new. I can’t recom
Gracie Jiu Jitsu Grand Junction is tremendous! Period. The curriculum Jason and Desiree Padilla follow is simple and effective. They focus on safety and going as slow as possible with high regard to your comfort level. I highly recommend taking the 10 day free trial as an introduction. The atmosphere at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Grand Junction is fun, friendly and welcoming to everyone at their own level. There is no ego or demands placed on any practitioners. The mental focus, flexibility and friendships gained are worth it. As a former varsity high school wrestler, United States Marine, snowboarder, mountain biker, CrossFit athlete and martial artist I have found Gracie Jiu Jitsu to be a necessary part of healthy lifestyle. I look forward to continued group classes as well as private lessons with Jason.
Jason and Desiree Padilla exemplify charisma and extensive knowledge within the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu community. Despite significant growth, their classes maintain a high level of personal attention, ensuring assistance with techniques and prompt responses to questions. Embodying the 33 principles, they stand out as exceptional martial artists in our community. The affordability of their programs is truly justified, offering multiple training options. Jason, hosting Gracie Bully Proof and Gracie Combatives, showcases extraordinary patience and knowledge. Desiree, as the women's empowered instructor, teaches with compassion and understanding, demonstrating remarkable confidence and charisma. For those seeking value for their money, this is the ideal place to enroll. I highly recommend experiencing the expertise of this remarkable family and embracing the Gracie way.
The instructors are friendly and very knowledgeable. The Gracie school focuses on self-defense in Combatives Classes but higher level students do compete in sport competitions. Instructors are very hands-on which helps with small details in movements as well as setting a positive gym atmosphere. I’m thankful I started my BJJ journey at this studio rather than getting “thrown to the wolves” at a BJJ sports gym. Another big plus of this studio is access to videos of each movement taught in class. This is extremely valuable to increase movement efficiency and execution. Keep up the great work!
