I was visiting central California for a reunion and wanted to get a Gracie BJJ workout in. The staff at this academy were able to accommodate. The facility is clean, and the instruction is top notch. If you are in the area and want a great BJJ experience this is the place. I highly recommend this Jiu Jitsu academy.

I enrolled my son into the Bullyproof program which is non-violent self-defense. Jeff is awesome with kids and a great guy. Don't hesitate if you are looking to send your child.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Nipomo has been a wonderful experience for my son. They focus on training on how to get out of situations of bullying while learning the art of Jui-Jitsu. Jeff is very patient and knowledgeable. The adult classes are very advanced and I have been thinking of joining the women’s Empower group. I highly recommend Gracie Jui-Jitsu Nipomo.

Visiting for a couple weeks and took a Gracie Combatives class (beginner bjj) with Jeffrey I think.Really enjoyed it, he was thorough and covered a lot of material. Also, he encouraged asking questions and paid attention to make sure everyone was doing the technique properly.Everyone was kind and welcoming, definitely going to take another drop in or two. Highly recommended!

Jeff and Laura are awesome people and have such a passion for JJ. There are classes for all walks of life - entry level through advanced, Women Empowered, and even the littles in Bully Proof. We feel like family here, and enjoy all that GJJ Nipomo has to offer. See you in the mats.

Jeff has built a really great place to safely learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I’m 40, so I was worried about injury during sparing. But his focus on safety and creating a great culture makes it fun and safe. The kids classes are awesome. He makes it fun for the kids to learn by incorporating games into the mix. And he teaches them character building. My son loves it. Thanks Jeff.

I was already doing Jiu jitsu and was going to a good spot that teaches Jiu jitsu. In the Jiu jitsu world the name “Gracie” is talked about a lot due to the history behind the founders the “Gracies”So I came to see what all the fuss was about& long story short I’m now training at “Gracie Jiu jitsu”

I've attended multiple other Jiu-Jitsu gyms in the area and Jeff's academy stands head and shoulders above the rest. As a physical therapy business owner, I am highly injury conscious, and the systematized, non-ego based, non-macho way that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is operated makes this a super-safe and fun way to experience martial arts. Also, this Gracie form of Jiu-Jitsu is regarded universally as the MOST effective form of self defense around. So it's a perfect balance of safety AND effectiveness. I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Nipomo for kids, teens and adults alike, and this place is perfect for women's self defense too, BTW. Jeff's wife, Laura, is involved too... it's a real family business where we can develop self-defense, martial arts acumen and camaraderie.

Jeff is a incredible technician, who is willing to share the secret of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with nothing left behind. A great role model and I can’t say enough about this guy. Anyone who want to learn self defense / Jiu-Jitsu in a ego free environment, he’s the guy to go.
