Excellent teachers fun atmospheres respect and discipline being taught to children. My Grandaughters look forward to going each week

This Jiu Jitsu studio is outstanding! I joined a little over a year ago with my oldest son and since my wife and youngest have joined us. This kids class is full of energy, intentionally guided and meant to challenge the young athletes to grow not only in Jiu Jitsu but personally as they make friendships along the way. The adult class is welcoming to diverse ages, skill levels and interest. There are competitors, those looking for a great physical outlet and those looking for self defense training. Professor Alex brings a high level of energy and skill expertise that is supplemented with coaches just as diverse as the members.

This is the place to learn Jiu-Jitsu in Reno. My 7 year old son has been attending classes for a year now and he loves it. I find this to be a wonderful investment as I see my son flourishing not only in jiu-jitsu skill set but also in character as professor Alex and professor Fred and the rest of the incredible staff instill in these kids respect, discipline, mindset, attitude and perseverance. All of which, will greatly benefit them as adults in the future. Professor Alex is very personable and has done a great job creating a very friendly and inviting environment.Im very proud to see my son progress in Jiu-Jitsu at this outstanding place.

My husband drives 3 hours (one way) to train with these amazing people here. It’s a family thing! Thanks for everything, you all!

This gym is awesome! All the coaches are very knowledgeable and always making sure the kids are working on form and being safe. Professor Alex has a great passion for teaching and the kids have such a great time. My sons have learned so much.

Great gym, clean, great people and even more greater coaches, Alexander and Fred absolutely awesome! Highly recommend

I love this place.Such a beautiful and welcoming environment for me and family,Strongly advise that beginners and advanced students come.

My boys recently started training here and they love it! They ask to go every day. Great instructors that are serious but fun!

What an amazing school.We fell such an amazing energy here.I have tried a few schools in Reno but I chose Gracie Humaita cause I really felt welcome here.Amazing for adults and Kids.Thank you Alexandre Garcia for bringing this school from Brazil to Reno.

Alex is a Great Coach. Gracie Humaitá is the place to be. No egos, friendly environment, excellent training. If your on the fence about signing up, try it out. You’ll know why it’s an easy choice!

This is a great class. The group has always been super helpful for this middle aged out-of-shape guy! If you want to learn Jiu-Jitsu, this is a great place to learn.

Ive been training with Alex for a couple years now, and he is great! Ive trained at some other Jiu Jitsu schools around the Reno/ Sparks area, and Alex is by far the most knowledgeable and entertaining teacher I have encountered. Highly recommend!

Alex is a really great instructor. He’s great with the kids & the adult classes are fun & very informal. I’ve been training for 7 months and i love it

My daughter has been training Jiu Jitsu here for the past year and she loves it. It has helped her grow as an individual and taught her many life lessons. All the instructors have done a fantastic job of keeping the kids engaged and having fun. I highly recommend Gracie Humaita for both kids and adults!

What an amazing place.Professor Alex is not just a good instructor but he’s an funny and great person.Strongly recommend this school.

Amazing school here in Reno .Strongly recommend this school for any beginner or advace student.oss…

Alex is an amazing instructor! I’ve been training for 3 months and have learned a lot. He is very energetic and have a lot of information. He is very patient with new comers and does great with children. Since joining the team I have lost about 20 lbs. I feel in better shape than I ever have! 5 stars!

This team is incredible! Unfortunately I couldn’t make the classes for my daughter due to my work schedule but In a heart beat I would go back! They are fun, professional and keep the kids engaged.

I’ve been going for a few months now and I enjoy it everytime I’m here. I look forward to coming everyday and learning so many new things each time. Everyone is so nice and helpful doesn’t matter if they’re an instructor or not. Alex is great and super funny!

4 of my kids have been training here for 4 months and they love it. All the trainers work great with kids and they are learning a lot. They are growing in discipline and confidence. I could not recommend Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu Jitsu more.

Amazing place to learn jiu jitsu, best one in town.

Wonderful place to train. Very knowledgeable and polite. Great place to start training jiu Jitsu.

Im a fairly new student. I highly recommend the place! Alex is not only teaching BJJ from the root (he is from Brazil) but also he will make you feel comfortable and he makes other students learn how to welcome new ones. If you are looking for a BJJ school where you will learn from the roots and feel welcome that is the school for you

My 7 year old loves training with Alex and the other instructors. Alex does a great job in working with the little kids and keeping them focused while in class. I highly recommend Gracie Humaita for anyone who wants to add focus and discipline to their kids life.

I drive all the way from incline(Lake Tahoe) to learn juijutsu from the roots of The Gracie family , Alex is not just a good juijutsu coach , he is a really kind person !! I strongly recommend this place for beginners and advanced students who is looking for a nice friendly environment !!

This place is has the best instructors I’ve ever came across! Very informative and they will take their time to teach you whatever you need to feel confident in defending yourself and progressing with your training!

Great and safe environment for my son and myself. One of the best workouts I have ever had and my 4 year old has a blast. Alex is amazing with the kids and keeps them engaged. If you are looking to learn one of the best martial arts in the wold and have a great workout I can’t speak highly enough about Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Very friendly instructors, good atmosphere, phenomenal coaching, and incredibly fun place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Alex is an amazing instructor I’ve been training for a bit and I already know so much he is a humorous person and a great person to be around he brings smiles to the class and makes everybody’s day.100 percent recommend taking his class

Alexandre Garcia is a great BJJ practitioner and coach. The only reason I ended up here was because the other schools in town didnt return my phone calls and nobody was willing to train early in the AM. That was very important for me as a working professional because it allowed me the chance to get in my training and still have a home life. The school is always clean and kept to professional standards with class starting on time and extra help if I need it. Being brand new to the sport, the school was inviting and everyone was willing to help. We have a great mixture of age, size, and skill levels so there is always someone available to help us newer people out. I have made several friends at this school that have transferred to friendships and people I spend time with outside of just BJJ. I recommend stopping by and taking a trial class if you have ever been interested but havent made the jump yet into the addicting world of Jiu Jitsu.

My kids love to train here and the coaches.

This is my first experience with BJJ and I have to say I love this school. The teachers are incredibly patient, funny, and great at communication. Gracie Humaita Reno has a great community of students and I never feel out of place. Everyone works together to make each other better. One of the best things I have ever signed up for.

What a great place! If you want to learn Jiu-Jitsu this is where you should do it!We immediately felt comfortable with the instructor(s) and the classes are jam-packed with physically challenging and well-explained moves.I would highly recommend you check this place out!!

Alex is a great teacher and mentor. He is very enthusiastic and always comes to class amped up, ready to teach. I look forward to coming to class everyday to better myself. Also shoutout to Kelly and Mark who help substitute teach when Alex is in Sparks. They are also great teachers who love what they do.

This is the place to learn BJJ. Alex is a great teacher and is fun to be around. He can be firm at times but cares about students learning correctly.

Amazing school for any age on how to learn jiu Jitsu. The main teacher, among with the other teachers, are professional, dedicated, talented, and excellent teachers esp with the children. Our son LOVES going. Also, the pricing is perfect. Would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone.

Everyone is amazing, great instructors, great classes!

Gracie Humaita is an amazing school. My son has been attending for a couple of months now and he loves it! He doesn’t want to miss any days and it’s all because of the owner/awesome Professor Alex, as well as all of the other instructors. They are great with the kids, they keep the kids engaged by learning something new everyday, & they are always encouraging! I see my son’s confidence building everyday he attends! I’d give 10 stars if I could!

Alex is the reason we continue to keep our Daughter at Gracie Humaita. The kids love him and the way he teaches engages the kids! Alex also teaches them great values, respect, and discipline. My daughter was unsure after the first couple classes but after about 2-3 weeks of doing it she wanted to go 5 days a week. We never even considered tournaments but with Alex’s motivation and training our Daughter has competed 4 times taking home medals in all of her tournaments. Most of all it has helped with my child’s confidence and she’s building a great foundation with Jiu Jitsu and life. 5 stars, thank you for everything you do ALEX !

I am very glad they have this school.Hands down best school by far in Reno,Alexandre is from Rio /Brazil trained under the best in Brazil,the Gracie Family.Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a real Brazilian.Thank you Alex and Pat for being so good at what you do.By the way the energy is amazing,strongly recommend this school for everyone.

Ive been training for 3 months now and i have to say joing Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Reno has been the best decision ive ever made it is amazing for physical health and mental aswell. all of the instructors are amazing and very patient for adults and children my son who is now 5 years old started when he was 4 and he is addicted aswell if you have the slightest curiosity about joing i highly recommend it. i mean what do you have to lose?

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, great with kids, and perfect for all levels!!

I travel around the U.S. frequently and have been fortunate to visit many different gyms and affiliations. While many are good, Gracie Humaita Reno is by far the best that I have been to. Alex and Ryan are excellent instructors that take time to get to know each of their students personally. The instruction they give is broken down very well for any belt level to understand and with great detail. All of the students are extremely welcoming and considerate of not injuring their training partners. I feel like this is a direct reflection of Alex and Ryan’s high standards and professionalism. The kids program is amazing as well. My daughter just started and can’t wait to go to class everyday. If youre looking for a place with quality training, high standards, and very welcoming, this is the place.

Great BJJ school with fantastic coaches! Coach Alex teaches very technical and efficient Jiu Jujitsu at the same time keeping the lessons fun for the kids. It is amazing how fast the kids are learning! The adult classes are great also; egos are left at the door and everyone works together to improve their skills! I would recommend Gracie Humaita to anyone at any fitness level!

Great people, plenty of parking, and very clean. The instructor Alex is very friendly and welcome anybody regardless of age or experience. Fun and friendly environment to learn.

Started out enrolling my son and after 4 months ended up joining too! Alex is great and shows a great deal of poise in working with the kids. He is an excellent role model and is teaching not only the Jiu Jitsu techniques but lessons about grit, facing adversity, sportsmanship and kindness. Highly recommend this studio as an after school activity, it is a clean, safe and supportive environment.When Alex switches to adult instruction he changes gears and puts together a class that is both physically challenging and mentally stimulating. He knows the sport and will take you on a rewarding path!

Just finished my second class and I have absolutely 0 martial arts background. Great atmosphere and friendly environment which promotes learning. Alex is great and made me feel welcome. There’s a wide range of experience among the class and I can tell you first-hand that they are patient with new customers and helpful in providing additional instruction. Had a great time and signed up!

This place is amazing! Alex, Ryan, and all the people that I train with are awesome. The more I come, the more I like Jiu Jitsu. My goal when signing up was to learn self defense and be nor fit, but I never knew I would make Jiu Jitsu part of my life. At times I feel overwhelmed with how little I know, but the more I come I feel more confident and comfortable. At 35, is hard to stick to something and feel passionate about it, but I know I’m in no rush and that Jiu Jitsu is more of a lifestyle than just an activity.

Alex and his team are truly amazing. They put true dedication into training the kids. Out of all the activities I have put my son in over the years, this one is by far the best. Alex and his team are very kind and patient with the kids and keep them well behaved at the same time. I highly recommend this place and am so thankful to be a part of it.

My boys just started going here and we absolutely LOVE IT. As soon as you walk in the door your greeted with smiles from the couches you and you feel like family...you can tell that the do it for the love of the art and they dont make you feel forced into staying. We go on a daily basis and my boys are excited every day. In the little time that they have been going the have shown so much improvement and have even improved their confidence. This is a GREAT family friendly experience that every kid should have ❣

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has been an incredibly positive experience for my five year old. The coaches are very talented and patient with the younger children, ensuring that they all know the moves before moving on. The coach to student ratio is great and each kid gets some individual coaching. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an after school activity for their son or daughter.

Great place wonderful family environment great coaches. I bring my boys to train and they love it 1 of the beat decision weve made. My family and I like it some much I just signed up to train with my sons. Thank you Alex

This place is great! I love Alex and Pat, theyre such informative instructors and really nice to students! This is THE best Jiu-jitsu place in Reno!

Top notch instruction! Hands down, best in the area. Speaking as a current coach involved in all levels of athletics, Alexandre does an excellent job at differentiating his instruction to meet the specific levels of each individual in the class. Very positive environment!!

Alex and his team are great trainers.

Friendly, clean place to train with a good vibe. Alex and Pat are great instructors. Price is fair and average to other places I have trained at.

We are the best because we love what we do.When you love your Job ,you dont work you have fun!God bless everyone.Osss...

Alex and all of the instructors do a wonderful job of teaching my son as well as all the other kids. My 12 year old has been taking classes for over a year and this has been very good for him. Its great exercise and good for social skills.The instructors are professional, kind and very patient.The school is clean and bright. Its a fun and energetic environment.

Over my family summer vacation in Truckee, I needed a place to train for an upcoming tournament. I drove to Reno three times for other things and stopped by Gracie Humaita Reno every time. I was welcomed with open arms. Professor Alex and Pat were awesome. All the higher belt team members who I trained with took their time helping me understand my mistakes during rolling and gave me advice for my tournament. Gracie Humaita Reno will have a special place in my Jui-Jitsu journey and I hope to came back here every summer.

Alexs enthusiasm and positive attitude are infectious for both the parents and kids. All of the instructors are just as passionate as the owner. My daughters grades and self esteem have both increased since we started classes. She is the smallest in her class but is learning how to combat boys twice her size. These are all lessons she will continue to use throughout her life. Highly recommend Alex and his staff.

Excellent instruction! Alex brings great energy to the class everyday and his staff is always friendly and eager to teach. Wish I could train and roll everyday here, wonderful environment to learn while having fun!

I have trained at other jujitsu schools in Reno, NV and this one is by far the best! There was so much positive energy here and everyone was helpful. Alex is a great instructor and would highly recommend.

Alex is great. He knows how to reclaim attention from the kids if they ever lose track. He is great at making sure the kids are involved and learning the right technique. Im very glad we chose Gracie Humaita to train our 5 year old. His behavior and focus has improved tremendously. We are grateful to be part of the family!!

Coach Alex is so good with kids and makes sure they all participate, learn technique and discipline, and have fun. I am impressed with how well all the staff do this, especially with younger kids. I love the confidence and pride i see in my daughter as she learns more and enjoy the great atmosphere.

Ive been training here for over a year, and Im very happy. This is Genuine Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Step by step instruction. Highly recommended.

Thank you Alexandre Garcia for your hospitality! You and your students welcomed 2 strangers from out of town and we really appreciate it! Really enjoyed the opportunity to train with you and learned a lot for me to take back to San Diego! Highly recommend!

My 10 year old son has been having a hard time. Between starting a new school every year for the past 4 years and recently being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes he seems to have lost all confidence in himself. So we wanted to find something for him to gain confidence and feel like he was a part of something. Well I couldnt have picked a better place for him to be. The head instructor Alex is awesome! He is super friendly and made my son feel comfortable right away. Since my son started training he is happier, more confident, and can not wait for the days he has juijitsu! So I highly recommend this place!

Our son loves taking classes here! Wonderful instructors. This is really a great place for kids to be active and learn new skills.

Do you want a Mexican person making your Sushi? It maybe good but I prefer an Asian , would you want an Asian making your authentic Mexican food? Still maybe good but Im going with a Mexican, just keeping it real. What kind of Jiu Jitsu instructor do you want? I am going with a true Brazilian Alex Garcia. I feel Im learning the right way and this is important to me. Other higher belts also like to help with your progress and that is all apart of the great learning atmosphere.

Best authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu school in Reno! Long time resident and Brazilian transplant, Alexandre Garcia is one of Reno’s best BJJ black belts. Taught by the legendary Gracie family. Gracie Humaita is great for kids all the way up to pro’s in the sport. Highly recommended!

Greatest teacher I’ve ever had, very positive and high intense energy. One of the most humble and strongest schools I’ve been too!

Very friendly and clean gym. Alex is a great instructor and is very informative. Hes passionate about what he does and you can see that in the way he runs his class. Extremely hands on. I highly recommend coming here. Plus, the price is great!

This establishment is very legit when it comes to the instructors who work here and at a price that is the best in town. Alex Garcia who is the owner and one of the main instructors teaches Jiu Jitsu for all levels and he makes the classes very fun for those who understand the art or even for those who are new comers and are looking to get in shape or learn some self defense. Overall you will have fun in these classes and in an environment that is very supportive to learning the complicated art of Jiu Jitsu.

Excellent teachers, clean facility, and a great community base. From beginner to advanced, this facility will take you to the next level. Alex and his team have created something special here in south Reno that cannot be replicated.

Alex is an awesome instructor. My daughter has only been attending classes for 3 months and is already progressing rapidly and is about ready for competition. Alex is professional and great at inspiring the kids to do their best and put forward their best effort.

Alex is a great Jiu Jitsu instructor who is fully vested in the success of his students. Ive been training with him for close to three years, and I couldnt be more satisfied with how my technique and knowledge have progressed. His attitude is completely ego-free, and that translates into the respectful environment of the school. Come train with us!

I have been looking for a place for my four year old to help harnest some of his never ending energy. This place is amazing. The teachers are great, and they take the time to teach each child. The environment is welcoming to both children and parents. Definitely a great investment for my child.

Great atmosphere. We were welcomed and acknowledged the minute we walked in. My son loves it here. The instructors are very nice and patient with all the kids. There is always more than one instructor which helps the children learn more.

My 9 year old son has been training with Alex for over a year now, and absolutely loves the classes. Alex is very patient and knowledgeable, as well as his other instructors (Ryan and James). My husband and I decided to join as well, and it is just as impressive on the adult side. There are a lot of talented athletes competing at a high level, but they are still very supportive and helpful with brand new students. Definitely recommend to anyone!

My son zachary absolutely loves this place. The sensei is amazing with the kids. He is strict, but fun. Teaches them respect, builds their confidence and skills! We are so happy we found this place!

5 starsAlexandre keeps the mood positive and really cares about you learning the techniques. Also ,with multiple classes a day, its easier to show up to at least one class.

My husband is in such good shape from working out at Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He loves going and says it is a great community.

Amazing instructors with an awesome atmosphere. Everyone is willing to help no matter what level you are at. I would highly recommend this school for all ages!

Great atmosphere. Owner really knows the art of Brazilian jiujitsu. Members are welcoming. Fun place to train and roll.

This is a great place to learn Brazilian Ju Jujitsu. They take great care of the little ones and are thorough with instructions. They not only teach and train for tournaments, they also teach discipline and respect, and self defense.

Alex is amazing! His class is fun and challenging. I love how he is able to give one on one attention even during group classes. He is from Brazil so it makes it all the more authentic and fun.

This place was so dope I’m student at UNR I have been in several schools in Reno and this is definitely the one that I felt was the one to sigh up and Alex is very friendly and he takes care of his folks every should definitely sigh up here

I just enrolled and I already feel like part of the group, Alex is a great instructor and I will be training here for a very long time. The more experienced students dont mind helping and giving feed back. They have a very good mentality about helping everyone get better.......... If you are reading my review just try the first few classes !!!!!!!

Alex is a very great teacher of the Art. He has a fun and laid back atmosphere but still pushes his knowledge when he sees you doing something incorrectly which he does not like haha. The other instructors are the same, all good vibes at this place. If you were thinking of trying it out (Its super fun and rewarding to learn and know), Id recommend this location Highly.

Real great school. Everyone is very humble, and professional with a large pool of skill and experience across all belt levels. All the students and instructors welcomed me as a new student and were patient and helpfull while I started training, and practicing new techniques. I recommend it to all my friends.

Alexandre Garcia school is amazing! (:This school is very clean and the staff is very welcoming, everyone is super friendly. I’ve been to several schools in Reno and this is by far the best one.

Alex and Pat are amazing!!! It’s the best place in Reno for Jiu-Jitsu! These 2 men will change your life!!! Jiu-Jitsu will change your life!

Being from Brazil, I can tell that this is the place you can learn Jiu Jitsu from the roots of Rio de Janeiro. Alexandre has so much experience, and such an incredibly positive energy.I strongly recommend it.

If someone were to ask me where to learn BJJ,I wouldnt have to think twice. This IS the place. Professor Alex (owner), is a very enthusiastic and educated teacher. He treats you like family as soon as you walk through the door. Ive recently started and its Great.

Great gym. Alex teaches very well. Recommend to everyone who wants to train. Everybody so helpful in leanring

I moved from Pennsylvania to Reno for a job ,not only Alex, but everyone who comes to class to makes you feel comfortable and at home. I would definitely say it is a comfortable environment but it is also a top notch instructional environment. Ive been to places that werent.

Hands down Alex is the best in Reno NV! He is training my daughter is great with the kids! Super funny! Thanks for a great time Alex!!

I recently moved here from California and was looking for a place to train and call home. Ive trained for 8 years at a few different academys, so I knew what I was looking for. Right away Alex was welcoming and I could tell he is passionate about BJJ. He is very technical and he cares about his students. This is a great place for me to call home!

Just started training with Alexandre Garcia. Im a blue belt with several years of BJJ experience. Hes a fantastic instructor for beginners and experienced alike. Great atmosphere, friendly students. Strongly recommend at least a drop in.

This place is great. Alex is a fantastic coach and runs a tight ship. He has a way with kids and my 4 year old enjoys the program.
