For anyone thinking about trying out jiu jitsu, the instructor here is awesome! I trained with him for three months straight before coming back to VA and loved the fact that he was professional and personal. Highly recommend this academy and jiu jitsu in general!!!

My husband and son attend Pace Gracie JJ. Everyone is like a family here. The staff is so inviting and motivating. They have patience with my son during his lessons and I’m so grateful for that. We wouldn’t train anywhere else!

Great place to train! Top notch instruction from Professor Marcello, Coach Jasmin and Professor Jackson. There is an environment of respect, safety, humbleness, discipline and character. Great to see such a positive impact on kids, adults and the community as a whole. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to train BJJ, regardless of age or skill level. I wish I had started sooner in life but at 43 I'm already reaping the benefits. Come train!
