Gracie Technics Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Great facility and top notch instruction. I really enjoy the kids class instructor Matt. He is very patient with the kids and gives high level instruction while keeping the class fun for the kids. My 5yr old and 7yr old had so much fun attending the class.

My nine year old daughter wanted to get involved with martal arts, so I picked this gym as it was recommended by Unilocalers, had a schedule that matched ours, and was family-​friendly. Worked with Matt who was professional and did a lot of follow up. They offered a free trial class to see if we would like it, which I appreciated, and we ended up choosing a month-​to-​month plan. For the age group, it is mainly about an introduction to BJJ with focus on fitness and keeping things fun and light. So far, the teachers and students have been welcoming, my daughter has been enthusiastic about the class and enjoys showing the new things she learns, so I’m satisfied overall.

This review is for the Jiu-​Jitsu classes. The Muay Thai classes seem very good as well, but I didn’t attend any myself.
I didn’t train long at Technics because of moving off island, but the gym is clean and very welcoming to newcomers of all skill level. Even better, it’s quickly apparent that Rylan and his assistant instructors are not only passionate and knowledgeable in Jiu-​Jitsu, but are fantastic at teaching and seem to genuinely care about their students experience.
Their gym fees seem standard for the area, and they don’t try to nickel and dime you with fees or uniform requirements.

If I could give a 6 star I would… Great and friendly place… They have all type of classes kids, adults and even Muay Thai. Professor is also the ufc coach for a few professional UFC fighters. No one has egos here at this gym, unlike at some other places.

Professor Rylan teaches technique in a way even
a newbe old dog like me can understand.
Family vibe there. Close knit people.
No egos there.
