Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Portland

"I have had a consistently terrific experience training here. I mainly take the fundamental classes with Ruben, and he explains the moves in an incredibly accessible, yet thorough fashion. My teammates are friendly, and always happy to give pointers on how I can improve my game. I highly recommend Renzo Gracie to anyone who has an interest in trying BJJ. Warning, it's addictive!"

"I’ve been coming to Renzo Gracie for over a year and I cannot say enough good things about this gym. The vibes are great. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. Everyone who trains here just wants everyone to get better. No shortcuts here, just hard work."

"Renzo Gracie Portland is honestly everything you could want from a Jiu-Jitsu academy. Wether you want to compete at the highest levels or just have a fun way to socialize and exercise. The facilities are top notch as well. They offer so many classes at all times of day that it makes it easy to fit training into your schedule. I’ve been going to the fundamentals class for almost 5 months and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. If I could give it a hundred stars, I would. Coach Ruben who teaches the fundamentals class is in my opinion the epitome of who you want to learn jiu-jitsu from. His ability to demonstrate and explain the fundamental movements and core principles of the sport are unparalleled. Also, the man’s love of the art is absolutely infectious. He makes you want to show up and not miss a class because he’s so passionate about what he does that it makes you want to be your best and it poetry in motion to see the man teach and it’s an honor and a privilege to get to learn from him in the environment that he fosters. If you are looking for a place to train Jiu-jitsu this is the best place around. I would drive a hundred miles to train here."

"I never review anything, but I had to share how wonderful Renzo Gracie is. My daughter has been taking the kids classes for two years, and the experience has been nothing but positive. Not only do kids learn a lot of useful skills, but they also become part of a family. All of the teachers are amazing!"
