Our Core program is the safest and most effective way of learning Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
A common misconception about practicing Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is that you have to be a fighter, competitor or athlete. This could not be further from the truth. While some of our students are active in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Submission Grappling competition, many of our students practice for nothing more than the enjoyment of learning Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Our students are comprised of a diverse group of men and women of all ages. Some are medical and business professionals, while others are college students or stay at home parents. They train at Gracie 717 because we have made a commitment to give the best instruction and training possible in an environment that is “ego free”.
What makes Gracie 717 different is the way we teach. Our instructors are trained in serving students in an organized, patient, technical, and safe manner so as to share the best and most informative Jiu-Jitsu instruction available in the area.

Not only do we offer Brazilian Jiu-Jistu classes, but we also offer Kickboxing, Strength & Conditioning and MMA classes.
Brazilian Jiu-Jistu
Known as The Gentle Art, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on leverage and technique to overcome opponents who are larger and stronger. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been proven as one of the strongest Martial Arts in the UFC and other MMA promotions across the globe.
MMA
