Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale

"Coach Darin and Coach Emily are extremely patient, knowledgeable, professional and courteous. We love having our little champ in the bullyproof program!! She has learned so much and absolutely loves coming to class. I would recommend this specific program to ALL parents with littles. They learn discipline, respect, kindness and gratitude along with ways to survive tough circumstances. They learn how to de-escalate and get out of sticky situations while gaining confidence in themselves and their skills. The class is structured to be fun while learning and is absolutely amazing. Thank you both for creating a safe and healthy environment of instruction for our littles. We appreciate you!! The hubby and I have signed up for Gracie combatives. The level of instruction here is phenomenal. Patience, clarity, thorough explanations and an incredibly knowledgeable staff make Gracie Jiu jitsu Scottsdale the best place to go."

"The instructors here are amazing!!! They are patient and explain and demonstrate in ways that make it easy to learn. They focus on safety and techniques rather than speed."

"I was nervous to try Jiu Jitsu, but all the staff and students made me feel very welcomed. Darin and Emily are great instructors, and if I don't fully understand something, they are always willing to demonstrate again. I enjoy the online curriculum; it gives you the ability to review what you will be learning before you attend the class."

"I recently moved to AZ from out-of-state where I trained at a non-Gracie gym. I was looking for a new gym/program in the Scottsdale area that would take the time to help me develop solid fundamentals with an emphasis on self-defense. The level of instruction from Darin and Emily at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale is excellent! They do an amazing job helping students understand the techniques and are incredibly helpful and supportive... not to mention being super friendly and welcoming! Very happy to call GCC Scottsdale my new jiu-jitsu home - highly recommend!!"

"We decided to join Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale on the very day of our free trial class, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. Coach Darin, Coach Emily, and their exceptional team have truly left a lasting impression on us. Their dojo is not only modern but also immaculately clean, creating an inviting environment from the moment you step in. What sets Darin and Emily apart is their remarkable rapport with the children; they exhibit extraordinary patience in their teaching methods, ensuring that each child's learning experience is tailored to their individual comfort level. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale is nothing short of amazing, offering top-notch instruction with a flawless Jiu-Jitsu curriculum. Darrin and Emily are not only incredibly skilled but also incredibly nice, and this positive attitude extends to their students as well. The atmosphere in the dojo is incredibly supportive, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie among everyone. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale as your Jiu-Jitsu home. It's not just about learning self-defense and conflict resolution; their curriculum also instills essential values such as respect, citizenship, and manners. They even have a home-based point system to reward positive behavior in these areas, which is a fantastic incentive for personal growth. As an added bonus, the kids absolutely adore Gracie Game Days! It's wonderful to see how their self-confidence has improved, and their athleticism and coordination are steadily getting better. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale is not just a martial arts academy; it's a place where character development and physical skills go hand in hand, making it a fantastic choice for individuals and families like ours."
