The CGJJ Academy has exceeded our expectations as a Jiu-Jitsu academy. The academy more than develops your self-defense skills, it builds ones confidence and develops the younger student's character. The respect for Professor Crosley and Instructor Ryan is unmeasurable, the value they bring through the doors is priceless.
Since its insertion in the local community in June of 2007, our Kids Martial Arts Program has worked with over 900 children from 4 to 15-year-olds. We are proud to say that the vast majority of these kids who averaged two classes per week for the period of at least one year, has had tremendous success in improving their social, athletic, self-defense and academic skills.
A person's primary reason for joining martial arts varies. Some join looking to get in shape or for the stress-relief benefits. Others wish to improve their confidence, discipline, and self-control. But most specifically choose Jiu-Jitsu due to its effectiveness in actual hand-to-hand combat and street self-defense.
Are you looking for the best way to get fit fast with a high-energy workout that can burn hundreds of calories in just one hour and build lean muscle at the same time? Our team at Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu can teach you the "Art Of 8 Limbs" like no other place around, with high-quality instruction and support for students age 14 and up, and all ability levels.
The idea behind our Summer Camps is to provide all participants, children, teens and adults, with a well rounded and realistic street self-defense training. The camps are beginner friendly and there's absolutely no previous martial arts experience, or athletic ability necessary in order to join. Each session is held in a very controlled setting, supervised by two Black Belt instructors and a few assistant instructors.

I attended my trial session and enjoyed it very much last night. A great work out, friendly, clean, and a professional environment. The two young ladies (Lyndsey and Sam at front desk) were very helpful, professional and answered all my questions. The rules, reading material, and vision are in line with my values and I look forward to learning, exercising and connecting with everyone. Professor Ryan's approach to the Gracie Jiu Jitsu art/instruction is informative and easy to understand. I enjoyed the pace for my age and everyone's willingness to assist and answer my questions when partnered during

I've been a student here for over 10 years now and I've enjoyed every second of the journey. The Crosley Gracie Academy is a clean, safe, and professional atmosphere.
After moving out as far as Lafayette, switching to another academy never crossed my mind. The strong relationships and bonds you develop are priceless. This place will sharpen you mentally, spiritually, and physically. Stop making excuses and sign up today!

I had the opportunity to attend the Crosley Gracie defensive tactics and weapons retention seminar and I am so glad I did! I have been in law enforcement for over a decade and I have always wanted to get out on the mat. I don’t live in the Brentwood area but the lessons taught in just one day at Crosley Gracie lit a fire in me to get into a BJJ class and continue training in my area. Everyone was so helpful and professional and I want to say thank you for supporting law enforcement and encouraging us to better our training!

My 8 year son old started a little over a year ago and and he loves it! He has not only learned so much about self defense and grown a love for the art of jiu jitsu, but their teachings on discipline and respect has drastically improved his behavior at home and school. We have since signed up our 5 year old who is reaping the same benefits as well! From the front desk receptionists to the coaches you get a warm welcome and instantly feel like family. This isn’t some thrown together academy, this is top of the line quality that is professional and organized. Coach Ryan, Sariah and Antonio are

I just attended their annual women’s self-defense seminar for the first time. The entire process from registration to completing the two-hour class was very smooth and professional. The facility is very clean. Crosley Gracie’s emphasis is on simple, functional defense based on easily-learned movements rather than complicated techniques.
I highly recommend this class to all women, regardless of your athletic ability and physical strength. Thank you for the class, instructors Crosley and Ryan!

I wanted to make a change in my life and seeked out something challenging and rewarding. To my amazment I had seen a Gracie jiu-jitsu school!! If you know the name, you'll know what I mean. I have been attending for close to three months now and I will have to say I love it. I was apprehensive at first thinking i was too old. (Age 30) There are guys in my class from 19 all the way to 50-60 year olds. Everyone who is willing to put in the work is welcomed.
The number one thing you learn here on day one is the culture. Respect is a huge one. Not only are you challenged to push yourself day after

This martial arts academy is truly amazing on many levels, not only on a physical level but also life and self defense. Close friends and family of mine including myself have trained and have gotten an all around great experience! I highly recommend training here! Crosley and his expertise and history in training, along with his staff are very knowledgeable and passionate in teaching everyone only the best! The skills taught can be applied to your daily life with health, discipline, respect, hard work, self defense, and much more! Come check them out! You won’t regret it!

I have 2 daughters at Crosley and them and I couldn't be happier! One does Muay Thai and the other Jiu-Jitsu. Both have a good mix of boys and girls (which is important when you have girls) in the classes. The staff is wonderful not only to the students but to the parents and well. A number of times I have had staff come talk to me about the girls telling me how they are doing and what they see. I really appreciate how this business runs its business both professionally and pro family.

WOW! That’s all I can say about Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Out of all Jiu-Jitsu schools that I’ve had a chance to visit in the area, CGA is by far the most organized, clean and friendly. I would definitely recommend taking your kids there. They will be in great hands! While you are there, check out the adult Jiu-Jitsu program too. Master Gracie is a very talented instructor and kind person. I truly recommend this school.

Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jistu academy is a place of discipline and commitment. If you’re looking for in depth self-defense classes that can train you for the real world, this is it. I am a former Jiu-Jitsu student and participating in these classes for more than a decade has helped me become a stronger, more hardworking individual. You learn about growth and the dedication it takes to become who you want to be. I had so many fun, and impactful memories from this place since I was 4 years old and I will never forget them. I want to give a HUGE thank you to Professor Crosley Gracie, Ryan Murphy, Fernandos
