This is an amazing academy! I cannot say enough good things the environment, the training, the attention to detail, the love, and the attentiveness that is displayed in each class. I didn't know what to expect when I signed my son up but this has been a confidence and self esteem building experience for him. I have seen such a positive addition to his demeanor. I had no interest in joining when I signed him up but I have now decided I will be joining as well.

Great place to train! Top notch instruction from Professor Marcello, Coach Jasmin and Professor Jackson. There is an environment of respect, safety, humbleness, discipline and character. Great to see such a positive impact on kids, adults and the community as a whole. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to train BJJ, regardless of age or skill level. I wish I had started sooner in life but at 43 I'm already reaping the benefits. Come train!

You wont find a more family oriented jujitsu gym in this area. The instruction is top notch and the students come willing to learn. I’ve known the family for a decade and trust them to teach my kids a better way for life. It has a family vibe and is outstanding for all levels of practitioners.

For anyone thinking about trying out jiu jitsu, the instructor here is awesome! I trained with him for three months straight before coming back to VA and loved the fact that he was professional and personal. Highly recommend this academy and jiu jitsu in general!!!

Our 9 year old son has been a member about 3 weeks and he LOVES it! It’s a great training facility that offers Jiu-Jitsu as well as wrestling. Our son has done both in the past, but seems more motivated than ever at Pace Gracie! Marcello and Jasmin are fantastic at making new people feel welcome and included, our son fit in immediately. Pace Gracie is somewhere you want your child to be. It is positive, friendly, respectful environment that encourages discipline as well as self-discipline, growth, friendship, and competitiveness, all the while teaching the kids some kick butt moves! ⭐️⭐️

Absolutely love the Yoga sessions offered here. Jasmine is such a great instructor - pushing you gently, yet offering so much support no matter what your level. I almost always leave feeling better than when I arrived!

Pace Gracie Jui Jitsu Academy provides an excellent environment for beginners, like my son, and for those like myself returning to the Arts after years away. The instructor staff is outstanding, and the camaraderie among practitioners is excellent. The lead instructor and owner, Marcello, is welcoming to all that enter the door, and he takes the time to come to know each student so that he might meet them at their own skill level. I highly recommend a visit if you are interested for yourself or a family member.

This place is AMAZING! We were welcomed like family as we tried out Jiu Jitsu for the first time. My son thoroughly enjoyed it and has not stopped smiling. The owners are the sweetest, and their story and mission is nothing less than beautiful! We signed up on the spot! I urge you to give it a try! It is new and you will be blown away with joy!
