Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Sioux Falls

A Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Center® under Gracie University We are a homeschool family in Sioux Falls, SD.

Our mission is to equip people to confidently defend themselves. Mitch completed instructor training in June 2022 and will be officially certified in January 2023. We hope to start offering group classes soon after, but until then we are looking for several dedicated families or individuals to teach private lessons to in our home. We teach children anti-bullying tactics (both verbal and physical) using the techniques and principles of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, as well as character development. Space is limit, so if you are interested please contact us!

Gracie Combatives is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique, which are further broken down into simplified drills or “slices” to facilitate the learning process. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program.

Although the art of jiu-jitsu consists of over 600 techniques, studies of real fights conducted by members of the Gracie Family have shown that 36 techniques have been used more often and with greater success than all the other techniques combined. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, Gracie Combatives is the only course that is entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques. You need absolutely no experience to start this program. Our instructors conduct all classes in a cooperative training environment and are committed to ensuring that every new student has an informative, enjoyable experience regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability.

To take advantage of our free 10-day trial, reach out to us via email ([email protected]), or call/text 605-215-1611 to get started.

Surround yourself with incredible humans who build you up, encourage you, challenge you. Who recognize your growth when you don’t see it, who understand that progress is not linear, who push you forward. Who make you stronger, more resilient, confident.

Congratulations to our recent belt and stripe promotions! Any one who has earned these belts understands all the hours, sweat, and dedication it takes.

Ladies, you do not want to miss tonight’s class! Class 6 (Stop-Block-Frame and punch protection) addresses our most powerful self-defense tool: boundary setting. See you at 5:30 PM, bring a friend, or make this your very first self defense class. You won’t regret it.

Our community is what keeps us going! We are so grateful for this rental opportunity, and even though it adds a bit of extra work (twice a week we set up/take down), it’s a time when our community shines. Everyone helps out, and it takes no time at all.

Thank you to all our students (and our kids-they found the time lapse so satisfying), especially those lucky ones attending the last class of the night who help us put everything back in its place.

We have kids classes, women-only classes, beginner and advanced adult classes back to back on Mondays and Thursdays. For more information, check out our website, gjjsiouxfalls.com.
