Started coming to BJJ classes a month ago. Have done about ten classes so far. Love everything about the way the gym operates. The instructors remember the students even though every class is 30+ people. If you want to learn in a comfortable but structured environment from top quality coaches look no further.

After moving to NC and researching different schools in the area I landed on Gracie Raleigh, and I’m really happy I did. It’s a place where I know I can always come to focus and learn.
The instructors here pull from real world experience and competition, and they know how to break down Jiu jitsu into bite sized pieces. I think the best part of this group is that you can train at whatever level you want. If you want to be competitive you can find that here, if you want to focus on your fitness or if you‘re just starting and want to try it out, you will find people that are interested in the

Gracie Raleigh has become one my favorite places to be. As a sixteen year old I started growing an interest in martial arts and very luckily stumbled into Gracie Raleigh. I was welcomed in with open arms by a staff of amazing people who are all lifelong martial artists and all love the sport. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, never refusing to help anyone. Since joining not only have I gained a love for athletics but the discipline and confidence instilled in me by training has improved my life at school. I can honestly say starting Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai at Gracie Raleigh was

Gracie Raleigh is by far the best BJJ gym I have ever been to. It is a great full body workout both physically and mentally. It also improves flexibility and equips you with the knowledge and skills to protect yourself. The instructors and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Everybody who trains at the gym is always trying to help each other and themselves improve. The students that train at Gracie all have different goals they want to get out of training, and Gracie meets all of the goals. Whether you just want to train for a good workout, acquire self defense skills, or make a career out

From the first time I walked in the door at Gracie Raleigh, the coaches, staff, and other members of the gym have only been friendly and helpful. I had no marital arts background when I joined Gracie, but that did not stop them from warmly welcoming me. Coming up on 5 years with Gracie, and I have never regretted joining this gym. It is an incredible learning environment, with an incredible staff and team environment. Many thanks to Brandon and his coaches for creating a great atmosphere!

I've been studying BJJ at Gracie Raleigh for the last year and have found the teaching, facility and class structure to be exceptional. The coaches have established a learning culture that is simultaneously welcoming and challenging. The fundamentals program was perfect for a novice like myself with very little previous training and now I'm on the big mat learning something new every class. If you're looking to build self defense skills or enhance your BJJ technique then look no farther than Gracie Raleigh.

Gracie Raleigh is a top notch place for anyone who wants to learn BJJ!
Its location is great, right in the heart of downtown next to the Wilmington street parking deck (which is only free after 6:45). It's great having a place like this in Raleigh. The gym itself is very sweet. It is always kept clean and tidy. There is a LOT of mat space. The atmosphere is friendly and as such it was easy for me to dive in even as a younger guy with no previous experience. Both instructors, Jason (brown belt) and Brandon (black belt), are clearly very knowledgeable in the sport and I know that they are genuinely
