Gracie Jiu Jitsu Smeaton Grange

There is an amazing gym culture here. The trainers are extremely experienced and great teachers. Ive only had good experiences rolling and training with others who train here. I'll definitely be hanging here for the long haul.

Awesome coaches, quality training environment and a world class training atmosphere. Everyone from the coaches and staff, through to our fellow students are there to give you the best training experience possible. Highly recommended!

Would highly recommend to anyone who is wanting to start or continue their martial arts journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling. The coaching staff are world class and create an amazing environment for you to feel comfortable and to learn and refine techniques from the best. The atmosphere is very motivating and will change your life for the better.. worth the travel if you have to.. great team, great gym!

World class gym facility! Quality Instructors and respectful culture of students.

Best Gym for BJJ I ever went to. Great team, great culture and amazing instructors. Definitely would recommend for anyone interested to do BJJ.

For anyone considering trying this out:I had my trial last night and I have to say, I'm pretty buzzed about this place. Staff were all super friendly. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, I don't think I've been to any other organisation where I've sensed such a distinct culture of inclusion and respect. As soon as people saw me they would introduce themselves, smiling and asking for my name. The nerves dissipated pretty quickly.I was paired up with a more experienced student who was really patient and went easy and slowly to help me practice the techniques in my own time. I've heard that some instructors might not pay you much mind as a fresh white belt. I found the opposite to be true. There were so many people coming around giving me tips and corrections that I felt like I was in a private class! Not just me but I could hear a lot of coaching going on for others on the mats too. Rolling was great too. I was pretty scared, thinking I might get a big brute trying to rip my head off, but I was paired with more experienced students and they went easy and let me try some things. When it was all over, everyone bowed and everyone shook hands. It ended up being just a lot of fun and a really good workout to boot. I am pretty unfit, so I was concerned about looking stupid if I fatigued really quickly. The instructors just say go and sit down against the wall and rest, there isn't any vibe of judgement or condescension, more so of understanding. Highly recommend trying BJJ at Gracie Smeaton Grange.

My (almost) 4 year old has been coming here for just under a year now and he absolutely loves it! The instructors keep the kids well disciplined and the environment is both friendly and respectful. Highly recommend!

This place is incredible! A class facilities. They have gone above and beyond in creating this. Couldn’t ask for a better place to train. Not to mention the head coach, Alex, one of the finest and most knowledgeable bjj coaches I’ve ever met.

I had never done any martial arts before i was very nervous going to start the class and it was amazing everyone makes you feel like you are at home in a family environment definitely recommend for anyone looking for a way to keep fit and change your life in a positive way and learn some self defence aswell!

Very welcoming and friendly place to train. Facilities are great and the coaches are excellent teachers with the bonus of being very approachable. No egos and everyone is willing to help, there is a real family feel. Can't recommend highly enough.
