An amazing group of caring coaches who are great with all kids of every ability to help them build confidence, strength, and BJJ skills!
Both my son and I attend classes. Great instructor and great people. I would never go anywhere else.
Best school in South Florida bar none. Great students who care about each other and a fifth degree black belt Professor who learned from the Grand Master and his sons in Rio. Professor is not only a great man and a detailed instructor who cares about teaching Jiu Jitsu as the Gracies meant it to be learned, he taught at the home academy in Rio and is also a World and Pan Am Champion. No one has those credentials in this area. Heck of a school and a heck of a Professor and man.
This is the place for everyone. What I really like about this place is the environment at which it's run. You can put in what you get out. But if you want to train in a relaxing state of mind, professor Eric can also cater to that environment. No pressure on your jiujitsu makes it fun and enjoyable atmosphere to be a part of. Great school! Also the striking coach Vic is by far one of the most knowledgeable and technical in the area.
Basically myself and my three kids (all under ten) absolutely love this dojo. The kids classes cover complex moves with patience and kindness and incorporate as much fun as discipline allows. Parents that train well are encouraged to help with kids classes giving kids a great opportunity to connect with parents the lessons and environment. Adult classes are amazing covering several types of fighting and techniques on different days. Teaching topics change weekly to cover a wide spectrum of topics consistently and with detail. Adults can challenge themselves to really train hard or go at their own pace. I am constantly impressed with the care and dedication of all the black belts as well as the higher belts for every student. No one is put down or shamed. In sum, give it a try! You will not be disappointed.
Professor Eric and his team of coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming. My 7 year old son and I have been going for a few months and feel like part of a family that happens to teach martial arts. They show genuine concern for you and your families well being even outside of the school. In today's world of corporate America and syndication schools like this are rare and I implore you to give it a try.
Had my first class in what has become an overnight addiction at Gracie Elite in Wellington! As with anything, starting something new can be intimidating, but Eric really took his time to answer all my questions and make me feel super comfortable before I ever set foot in the building. Once I got there, everyone in the class as well as all of the instructors were the absolute nicest guys ever and I left with usable techniques that I ended up practicing on my wife when I got home out of sheer excitement.
As a creature of habit, i generally avoid new things, but to anyone looking to switch out of their boring gym routines, or even add to them...and you’ve kicked around learning Jiu-Jitsu....Gracie Elite gets a 10/10. Can’t wait to go back, Friday!!
