My girls love Coach Sean and his team of leaders. The classes are professional, encouraging, and a positive environment. Every class kids are taught character traits and scenarios and how to use self defense to protect themselves and others.

My son has been with this studio for a few months now. He is starting to build confidence in himself and we are seeing him push himself out of his comfort zone more and more with each class. We are truly grateful for both the physical and emotional skills that he’s learning each week. Can’t recommend this group more!

This place is FANTASTIC ! The staff is friendly and helpful. My child is learning how to defend himself on top of learning how to advocate for himself without having to utilize what they are taught, unless necessary. I highly recommend them.

My 8yo daughter has been attending the Jiu-Jitsu classes here and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience! Sean and Cecil are incredibly skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in helping each student improve, regardless of their experience level. The classes are well-structured, offering a great mix of technique and games which keeps things challenging and fun. The location itself is very clean, spacious, and equipped with mats that ensure safety during training. There’s a strong sense of community here, with everyone supporting each other to grow and excel. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, this is the perfect place to train. Highly recommended! Update: We enrolled our 5yo daughter, and it’s been amazing to watch her flourish—not just in skills, but in confidence and joy. Her coaches are incredibly supportive, patient, and inspiring. They make learning fun while encouraging every child to do their best. So grateful to be a part of this community!!

My son has been training at Gracie Jiu Jitsu North Phoenix for about 6 to 8 weeks and it has been one of the best experiences we have had. The instructors are amazing, patient, skilled and encouraging, and the community feels like family. It is a place that builds confidence, discipline and respect while keeping things fun. We could not recommend it more!

Just started taking our kiddos there and they are absolutely loving it. Coach Sean and his team are amazing with the children and we are looking forward to continuing classes. As parents, we love watching the new techniques Sean is teaching and watching our boys practice at home. So grateful to have found Gracie JiuJitsu by accident!!

If you are considering this type of practice for anyone at any age, this studio has got to be your first choice. I went in for the trial period, always being curious about this craft for self defense and protection, as a female who often travels solo and was blown away by the team and the teaching technique. You truly can be a full beginner (as in you’ve never even seen a fight scene in a movie) and get so much out of every class. All the moves are broken down into small and understandable steps. And then you get to practice them out immediately (multiple times!) in a safe and zero judgment environment. It was one of the most amazing parts of the experience. I am very much looking forward to seeing when they open up their Women Empowerment Program (coming soon!). I could continue to write paragraphs about the coaches themselves (so amazing!) but this is long enough. Just go and check them out. You won’t be disappointed.
