Gracie South Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing

"I trained here while I was out of town for around 5 or 6 months and it was definitely worth it! There are both grappling and striking classes available and you can attend as many or as little as you want with your membership. I mainly attended the grappling and self-defense classes and was very impressed. The quality of instruction was high and the environment was welcoming. Typically there is a different instructor each day which I thought was great since you get a diverse sample of different styles and techniques. If you're curious you can always watch a class or take some trial classes before you sign up. There's nothing to lose!"

"Class act operation at this dojo. The coaches and instructors are Stellar. They know how to handle children and do it in an appropriate manner that shows discipline and respect. I take my grandson here and plan on going all the way through to his black belt which probably will be at 10-12 year commitment or more depending on dedication and effort put forward. This will change his life in a direction worth going at 6 years old becoming a strong confidant Alpha dominant male that others won't bully. This will make a dramatic difference shaping him to be a leader and in control. I recommend this particular style through the long bloodline lineage Carlos and Helio Gracie designed this special Brazilian style. Their isn't a screw up in the entire family. Anyone that has a loved one that would like to learn discipline... respect...build self esteem...self defense... coordination...fitness...or getting real serious through this Brazilian style should take a tour... call Coach Chance..follow them on Facebook. Go watch them compete. Their teachers/coaches/trainers are superior to the others and are gentle yet strong. This is for all ages and sexes. They offer kickboxing... submission wrestling...self defense and badgers classes for 4 and up. lots of fun with disapline. Locker room and showers are comfortable if you care to change here. The gi is made of thick woven cotten and a sharp looking Gracies South Logo on the back. Parking is good I always get a space here. They often run a special for a first week free ask coach Chance...hell hook you up... he did us. 2 thumbs up."

"I've trained here for 8 years and absolutely love it. My children have also trained here. This was the original Jiu Jitsu academy in this area and most experienced practitioners started here. There have been other academies spring up over the years so the Jackson area has no shortage of options. It's become a great city for quality instruction. The main thing that you notice right away, is the culture here. The connection between the instructors, the students, and the parents is special. Things are done the right way across the board.The school just moved to a new facility that is very accommodating and clean. Its a great atmosphere for the serious competitor as well as the 9-5 student looking for a great hobby."

"Almost a year into my BJJ journey and couldn’t have asked for a better team of coaches and rolling partners. Top notch instructors with a wide variety of backgrounds in different arts to include something for everyone. Egos are checked at the door to ensure safety, but a competitive camaraderie helps push each of us to the next level. Looking forward to both my kids getting their start here with the fantastic instructors that foster a safe learning environment!!"

"I have 3 kids (9 year old boy and 2 girls ages 8 &4) that train with these fantastic coaches. The coaches care about the kids and their success in this sport as well as life. All three of my children are building their self esteem, coordination, fitness level and self defense skills. I can't say enough about how awesome this place is!"
