Highly Recommended – The Best Kids Jiu-Jitsu Experience! We joined about two years ago, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our kids. We actually drive in from Lake St. Louis every week just to train with this crew it’s that worth it. From the moment we first walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, positive, and family-oriented. The facility is always clean, organized, and feels like a place where kids can truly grow in confidence while having fun. Huge shoutouts to the coaches Mark, Eric, and Dayna have been absolutely incredible. They have a real gift for working with children. They’re patient, encouraging, and know exactly how to make classes exciting while still teaching proper technique, discipline, and respect. One of the things I appreciate most is how the coaches connect with each child individually.. The instructors make every kid feel included, supported, and motivated to improve. Our 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter LOVE going every week. The growth we’ve seen in both of them has been amazing. They’ve become more confident, focused, and comfortable in social situations. We’ve even seen them handle situations at school and on the playground with more confidence and composure. This gym does an incredible job balancing fun with real skill-building. The kids are learning valuable self-defense skills, discipline, teamwork, and respect all while genuinely enjoying themselves. If you’re looking for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym for your kids (or even yourself), this is the place. We’ve already recommended it to friends and family, and we’ll continue to do so. Five stars all the way we’re excited to keep being part of this amazing community!

I grew up around family and friends who practice Jiu-Jitsu, but it took me years to try it myself. I hesitated because I didn’t want to get hurt or end up in a very aggressive, overly combative environment. I’m really glad I found this place in St. Louis. I’ve been training here for 8 months and it has been great so far. I feel safe, respected, and challenged in the right way. The classes allow you to learn at your own pace, with a strong focus on safety and taking care of your partners. I was looking for self-defense and a hobby—not a competition-driven gym—and this has been a perfect fit. The combatives program, where all students are white belts, helps build a solid foundation before moving into more advanced training. There’s a great balance between instruction and practice, and the repetition really helps things click over time. I can already see how much I’ve improved. Eric and Marc, the brothers who run the gym, create a welcoming, family-like atmosphere that makes training here even better, and I appreciate their commitment to the students.

On 4/20/2026 Isaiah Welch had this to say:
We recently enrolled our 5-year-old daughter in the Bullyproof program at Gracie, and it has been a wonderful experience. The instructors do a great job keeping the kids engaged while making sure they’re having fun throughout each class. Our daughter looks forward to every session, which really speaks to the welcoming and supportive environment they’ve created. The instructors are kind, patient, and encouraging. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for kids—we highly recommend it.

On 3/11/2026 Mauricio Villanueva Oficial had this to say:
My son really likes the warm ups and it’s learning more and more this fascinating technique. I feel he connects better on ways he sometimes can not do it on team sports. Also, the coaches or trainers are very nice, clear, and caring 👍. I considering joining the training as well 😃😅👀.

On 3/5/2026 Miranda Lintzenich had this to say:
Cannot recommend this place enough. I’m a total beginner, and the coaches have been approachable, easy to understand/follow, and also let me trial classes to get a feel for it. I’ve been going since November, and plan to stay at it for the future! Everyone is so nice and friendly. Come try a class!
