There are a few reasons. I spent some time doing research on different schools. For starters Sonny Parlin. Outside of the fact he is the real deal and has great lineage. He took the time to reach out and invite me to try out his training. On my first time walking in Sonny and his instructors were welcoming and very knowledgeable.

These people are extremely welcoming and super patient with low level grapplers. You can tell these people care about your progress and it’s a great place for someone who is looking for a extra curricular or a lifestyle change. I can not praise this gym enough.

Sonny Parlin only knows one thing and it’s Jiu-Jitsu. In a short time I came to realize this is something that everyone should at least have a basic understanding of and a good instructor is an important part of that. They supplement takedowns using wresting as well, good combo. Size does not matter in Jiu-Jitsu which is a very different story in most forms of combat or self defense , great experience for both men and women. Strong lineage if you’re into that type of stuff. Great for law enforcement as well for pinning people down. Great if you already have a background in other forms of combat

My son Ben has been training at Gracie Bradenton for almost 4 years and it has been an amazing experience for him. Great instructors lead high energy, but disciplined and safe classes and Kyle Koziel has been a great coach for my son's freshman high school wrestling season.

This is an awesome place to train! I knew nothing about jui jitsu before starting here and it can be intimidating to try something so out of your comfort zone. Everyone was so welcoming and so many people have helped me learn. In the past year and a half I have learned so much about self defense and have gotten in much better shape both physically and mentally. I think all women should learn basic jui jitsu and self defense and this is a great place to train!

This a wonderful place to learn Self-Defense. Not only is it an improvement for you physically it, also helps mentality. I would recommend this gym to anyone of any age or gender. The coaching staff is here wonderful and will help you in anyway you need. Sonny, Joe, and Matt are very hands on and will be there to guide you through this learning adventure. Also the environment is tremendously friendly and everyone gets along very well.
