Carlson Gracie Grand Rapids Bjj Jiu-jitsu 2035 28th Street Southeast, Grand Rapids, MI 49508

"We sought to have our daughter learn BJJ after she was aggressively bullied at school. My daughter was slightly reticent her first day but the staff and coaches made her feel welcomed. Since then we’ve come to all days available. It’s something that my daughter truly looks forward to each day and we’ve already noticed a marked improvement, even in this short period of time. Her confidence has grown as well. As parents, we’ve been very impressed. The facility is clean and very well organized and they’ve fostered a truly family-like experience, which doesn’t come by accident. We are excited to see our daughter’s continued growth."

"I had the absolute pleasure of joining CGTGR, and I can't praise it enough! First and foremost, the coaches at this school are nothing short of amazing. Their dedication, knowledge, and passion for Jiu Jitsu are evident from the moment you step onto the mats. They create an incredibly supportive and encouraging environment that's perfect for beginners, especially kids who are just starting their martial arts journey. What makes this martial arts school stand out, especially for kids, is their focus on fostering positive partnerships. The kids are paired with partners who are not only skilled but also patient and kind. This ensures that each child feels safe, supported, and motivated to learn and grow. Furthermore, The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary gear."

"This is a great gym with an awesome community! I have learned so much and met some awesome people!"

"This school/gym is incredible in atmosphere, prestige and openness to visitors. I haven't cross-trained a lot at bigger schools, so this was definitely a big jump for me. Super grateful for the opportunity to share the mats with these guys for my brief visit to Grand Rapids. The students and instructors feel so sharp technically, and I appreciate the upper belts giving me some rolls. Thanks for allowing me to train with you all."

"This place is amazingly!!! Whether your child is a beginner or already has experience in BJJ, they have a class for you. Each class from beginner to advanced youth has the right amount of challenge and discipline to suit there age and experience."
