Great environment and instruction. Cody and the other instructors create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The warm-ups are challenging and the techniques focus on important details. Great place, cant wait to come back!

This gym is welcoming and quickly makes you feel at home regardless of your skill level, occupation, or gender. The coaches are consistent in their approach and highly professional. If you show up with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn you will develop fast.

Hands-down the best gym in town! Every single day I go home soaked in sweat, the coaches are professional and friendly! Free first class come see for yourself

The amount of things Ive learned in only 2.5 weeks of training is absolutely astounding. The coaches at this gym are high class professionals who know what theyre doing, what theyre talking about and want nothing but the best for their students. Its an extremely friendly environment to be in and its an absolute blast training with these people.

This is a great gym in a great location. Cody is a great instructor and keeps it casual and accessible but he also knows when it’s time to be serious and learn. Nothing is expected of you except to show up ready to learn. There are many opportunities for growth to develop as an all around fighter.

Hands down one of the best gyms in Michigan, the instructors really make the learning experience enjoyable while also maintaining a competitive environment.

I can say with certainty that starting jiu jitsu at this gym was one of the best decisions I have ever made. After only a couple weeks of training here I have learned so much. Cody and Miguel are phenomenal coaches and very professional. Everybody training here is super friendly and helpful. I wake up everyday now excited to go to class and learn something new. Trust me it will be the best decision you ever make! Come try it out!

Reached out to the team while visiting the area to see if they had room for an extra body as I usually train on the east side of the state. They were very welcoming! These guys work at a high level and pace and it was impressive. I would recommend this gym as the place to train for beginners, advanced competitors, or anyone looking to get in great shape in the Grand Rapids area. The coaches are clearly very knowledgeable and welcoming and they compete as well so you know the technique is relevant. Thank you again for allowing me to drop in hope to see you guys on the mats soon!

Cool people hang out there, which makes learning BJJ fun. I get a workout at the beginning of class, building my core, and now I got abs! The coaches are real cage fighters, so the training is legit, from dudes who are down to laugh with us. Day or Evening classes, suites my freelance schedule so I can always make it 3 days a week.

I travel for work and wanted to keep training while on the road. I sought local knowledge from colleagues on where to go and they highly recommended this gym. I walked in as white belt and was immediately impressed with the facility. Coach Cody came right over and was welcoming and helpful on integrating me into his classes as a stranger.The fellow students were friendly and created a good atmosphere for learning. Coach Cohi and Coach Miguel are excellent instructors and attentive to all who attend. Coach Cohi even invited me to come in early for a few minutes of personal instruction on a technique he used on me the prior day with great impact! Im looking forward to going back my next time in GR, thank you DGGR!

I came to Daniel Gracie as an assault survivor and young mom hoping to learn self defense. Being a woman practicing a contact sport - much less an intricate martial art dominated by men - can be intimidating, but the Daniel Gracie Team makes every visit to the mat worth the courage it takes to show up. The coaches here make me feel that I can practice in a professional and safe space. I’ve learned so much and gained so much confidence in such a short amount of time. Anyone who practices here regularly will tell you that the experience will change you for the better, I would recommend it to anyone.

Best Jiu Jitsu gym in Grand Rapids hands down. High quality coaches and effective training. Would recommend anyone who wants to start Jiu Jitsu to come to Daniel Gracie

Incredible place and even better coaches. Best combat sports gym in Michigan.

This gym has everything for the martial artists and fighters looking to improve their skills. Youre able to watch professional matches of the highest caliber (ufc,adcc, boxing) and pick out moves drilled and technical understanding covered during Daniel Gracie classes. Costs are competitive for the area and much less than some of the other premier gyms in the U.S. There are multiple times for daily access.In regards to professionalism and communication you cant ask for better. Coaching staff is a message away. They make time for individual checks throughout class and have created a group accountability system which keeps us all safe. Daniel Gracie members range from entry level to high level professionals. Coaching staff treats everyone equally and divides time well. The gym is kept extremely clean in my opinion which has allowed me to bring my child in to check it out.Train at Daniel Gracie Grand Rapids and youll be better off for it.

Whether you’re training for a career in MMA or just wanna get a good workout in this is the spot. Since day 1 the instructors have been great and extremely helpful to a guy that had zero experience or previous training at any level. Above all it’s fun, I would highly recommend these classes to anyone.

Daniel Gracie Jiu Jitsu in downtown Grand Rapids lives up to the Gracie name. Cody and Miguel are two awesome coaches that make sure to show you the how and why of Jiu Jitsu. Getting into Jiu Jitsu is a great way to get in shape and add valuable skills to your arsenal for the rest of your life. Come down and try out your first class for free, youll be hooked!

If you know anything about BJJ, you know the quality of the Gracie style training. HANDS DOWN the best gym in Michigan. Quality training, positive culture, and an environment to thrive. Don’t come for glory...come for grit!!!

Great instruction. Miguel and Cohi are top notch.

Started coming here after a very low point in life and I can honestly say its one of the best things Ive ever done. The people here are all amazing and the training is top quality. Come see for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

I recently joined the Daniel Gracie GR team as a beginner in BJJ. I truly cannot say enough great things about this place. Firstly, the owners are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and provide a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Not only are the owners great, but every single person who steps through the door whether they are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced is a team player. Everyone understands this is a learning process and we are in this together. I highly recommend Daniel Gracie GR if you have an interest in MMA or you simply want a kickass workout regimen!

This is the best BJJ gym in the Midwest. Cory Hier trains us the same way that Daniel Gracie trains him. Not only is he an excellent coach but he makes it very fun to learn and grow. The students are all great people and the atmosphere feels like a family. I would highly recommend.

Instructors are world-class, knowledgeable and friendly. They made me feel welcome right away, and it was cool to see so many other women. Awesome location with a really nice, clean mat space. Plus, they offer morning and night classes which allows me to still train while working and going to school.

Amazing instruction, super clean facilities. It’s in the hub of downtown GR, right in the cultural parts of this great city. I couldn’t be more happy joining this gym. I have made lifelong friends and essentially joined a family. Jiu Jitsu saves lives.

Love these guys and really take the time to show you everything you need to know. Totally would recommend this gym!!

Excellent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school for people of all skill levels. The head instructor, Cody, teaches well and will push you to do better each day. He is very knowledgeable and had an MMA and wrestling background. There is very friendly atmosphere and a healthy competition when sparring with partners. Ive been going for a short while at the time of writing this, but have learned a lot. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants a good BJJ school.

Really couldn’t ask for a better group of people to come into the community. Quality instruction and community. Philadelphia will miss this group very much.

The space is gorgeous ! The schedule is very Accommodating. I felt very welcomed there !

Top notch instruction, friendly environment. Ive received training from Cody in wrestling and BJJ it’s just like learning from Daniel himself !!
