At Gracie Raleigh, we offer martial arts programs tailored to every individual – from beginners exploring self-defense to seasoned fighters preparing for elite competitions.
"Can’t say enough good things about this gym. My 8 year old son takes Brazilian jiujitsu and the coaches are second to none. The energy coach Thom brings in the room keeps everyone so engaged and excited to be there. Not only that but they take a real interest in the kids and train them not just for bjj but for life."
Since 2011, Gracie Raleigh has proudly taught martial arts to the Raleigh area. Discover the impact and dedication of our gym through the words of our members.
If you’ve ever thought about trying Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai, but felt unsure or intimidated, you’re not alone. In fact, the most common thing we hear from people interested in training is:
“I’m interested… but I’m intimidated.”
The most common phrase we hear from students who were intimidated but start anyway is:
“I wish I would’ve started sooner.”
It’s easy to imagine walking into your first class and being surrounded by elite fighters, professional athletes, or people who’ve been training for years. But here’s the truth:

We also offer free trial classes so you can get a feel for things before making a commitment. Each class includes:
Whether you’re here for self-defense, fitness, confidence, or just to try something new, our mission is to make your first experience a positive one.
