First started going due to my son being bullied. Then after watching him I decided I wanted to join. It has been the greatest decision we’ve ever made. It has changed my son for the better and now I have a family there. Professor is extremely professional and cares deeply for our safety and well being. Highly highly recommend. You will enter a stranger and leave as family.

Alex and his instructors at Gracie Humaita are amazing with all the kids. He is very friendly. He involves the parents. At the end of his kids class they play game to finish off and let kids be kids. Alex the main instructor teaches some of the kids classes which I think it’s awesome. My son and daughter both love it. Alex thank you so much for being a great person. I am excited to also attend your adult class.

Was traveling for work and had a conference in Reno so I figured I would check and see if any good Jiu Jitsu schools were in the area.I’m so glad I looked up Professor Garcia’s Gracie Humaita academy!! The atmosphere was amazing, his energy was contagious and all the students were incredibly welcoming.Always fun to learn some new tricks to take back home. Thanks again for allowing me to come train!!

I have been training at this gym for six months now. I was super nervous to start but this gym accepted me as family. I wanted to wait to write this review because I wanted to make sure there was consistency. It's been 6 months and I'm having more fun than ever. I really like the self-defense aspect and lack of egos in the gym. Alex and all the coaches are amazing, they listen to the students and are very patient. I highly recommend this gym!

I’m so glad I started! Being an older person, I was thinking I was too old to be starting. I was wrong. I’ve lost 20 lbs so far and I love the atmosphere. Alex made me feel like family. Coach Luis is a great coach. I would recommend Jiu Jitsu to anyone that wants to try something new. Thank you Alex for changing my life!

This place is amazing!! I’ve never done Jiu-Jitsu before and I’m an older fella. I was kind of intimidated when I first walked in but then I met professor Alex and Charles ! They were so welcoming, warm and friendly!! I started the 3 classes for 30 bucks I’ve done 2 classes so far and I am hooked!!! They are awesome instructors and are all about respecting one another!!! I highly recommend coming here!!

Drove from Fallon to check this place out because we’re considering putting our 4 year old daughter in class. They are the most sincere and genuine people I’ve ever met. So kind and are truly passionate about teaching the art of jiu jitsu. I highly recommend this place.

Professor Alex is a very knowledgeable teacher. He goes through each step slowly to make sure everyone knows what they're doing. He also checks up on everyone while practicing the move and offers constructive criticism and help to make sure we learn the moves.Louis is the other coach, and Louis is very good at teaching like Alex is.Slow teaching so everyone can follow, and helps out students where they require assistance.Jiu-jitsu is a very valuable martial art to learn and is very effective for street fighting if you find yourself in a tough spot. You learn to fight and put people in positions without having to kick or punch and learn to spare yourself harm when fighting.I highly recommend taking jiu-jitsu classes, and Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 9333 Double R Blvd #1100, Reno, NV 89521 is the perfect place to learn the basics of self-defense.

I started practicing BJJ with professor Alexandre Garcia, and it has been the best experience possible. I recommend it to everyone, both for self-defense and competition. For those who have small children this is also the ideal place to take them. Oss!!

Alexandre and his team have done more for my son's mental and physical well being in two weeks than all of the therapy he's been in since COVID. Hand to God.The close attention they pay to every student is almost unheard of these days in any other environment.You can feel the positive energy the moment you walk in. It's somehow both relaxing and exciting at the same time.Highly recommended for any and every age. I am 50yo with fairly significant physical issues, yet I have every intention of joining my son on the mat as soon as the VA clears me.It's never too early, nor too late.

Awesome environment awesome people. The way the professors teach the technique of the moves are outstanding even to the ones that have 0 to no experience on the ground. The thing I love is that they pay attention to every students progress. Something I notice not a lot of places do, they really take there time explaining everything and making sure everyone understands it. They really treat you like family I love the energy.If you want to learn self defense and get better on the ground this is definitely the place.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has become a popular martial art in recent years, and it's increasingly being used to teach kids how to defend themselves due to how effective it is. I signed up my two kids for training at Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Reno and I was impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the instructors, as well as the safety measures put in place to ensure the safety of all students. The classes are well-structured and the instructors use a variety of drills and activities to keep the kids engaged. Highly recommended.

My kids love learning jiujitsu at Gracie Humaita! Every class is engaging. They learn new skills every week, practice old ones and have matches during every class. The program is designed with the perfect balance of warm-ups, training, one-on-one instruction, and work with well matched partners. The owner takes pride in his facility and instruction, and is also engaging and fun with the kids and parents.

The best jujitsu classes in town. Love the coaches, love being part of the team. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been doing this for years, you’ll be happy to be here. Just try the trial classes, you’ll love it and you won’t want to leave! For kids and adults, it will boost your self esteem, make you proud of the work you put in and you’re going to make friends. The coaches dedicate time to each person in class so you never feel like you’re on your own or lost in the crowd. This is a true team and everyone is so supportive.

I am so glad I signed my son up at Gracie. Alex is so wonderful. He's funny, engaging, kind, considerate, yet tough. All things you want in a good coach of any sport. I plan on having my son go there for years. This is his first year, and he loves it! Not only Alex is great but all staff. Every single person. I enjoy going just to see the interactions, let alone my son. I actually want to join the adult classes as soon as I lose a bit more weight and am comfortable with my self. Definitely worth the money and time. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Sign up here!UPDATE: I withdrew my son after 7 months. Unfortunately the class sizes got way way too big for the space of this place. I didn't feel as though the kids were truly getting training anymore. I also feel my son would get better training in mixed martial arts without having to wear the Gee.

BJJ is one is the most effective martial arts for anyone to be able to defend themselves and even more so for kids. It helps a smaller opponent really learn how to protect themselves from larger opponents. Professor Alex and the entire Gracie Humaita team embody the heart of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and my two boys have gained immense confidence in just the first month of training. Highly recommend the academy for anyone looking to protect themselves or enabling their kids to gain confidence and a real ability to defend themself.

My 6yo son really enjoys coming here and learning jiu jitsu from the great coaches. He is on the Autism Spectrum, and he’s getting a lot of practice with how to use his body appropriately—being able to grapple without hurting others, and improving his coordination. He also gets a lot of great input for following directions and routines, as well as needing to imitate others (not something he’s inherently driven to do). He’s getting a lot out of this experience, he enjoys it, and this is a great studio with wonderful coaches.

This is a fantastic environment for our children to learn discipline, humility, respect, self defense, and the confidence that comes with all of it. Alex and his team of awesome instructors have created the perfect school to teach children BJJ and imperative life skills in a fun and supportive environment. It is amazing to watch our children grow and evolve their characters and skills. The seminars with the Gracie family legends are a nice bonus as well! We absolutely recommend to any parent that wants the best quality of life for their children's future.

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.I'm very proud to see my son progress in Jiu-Jitsu at this outstanding place.

I cannot get over what an amazing place this is. Alex is the most engaging instructor I have ever experienced. The kids absolutely love him. I would give this place 100 stars if I could. Discipline, self defense and fun all balled up into a 45 minute class. Keep up the good work!

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.

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.

We love this school! Our daughter loves it too! Alex is a great professor who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and not afraid to discipline; but he also makes the kids laugh. He makes you work for your stripes and belts, so if you’re looking for an easy class look elsewhere.

I've been training with Alex for a couple years now, and he is great! I've 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!

My children love attending Jiu Jitsu! Professor Alex is amazing & extremely talented in instructing young children. My children learn most when they are having fun and professor Alex and his team excels at creating a fun-filled atmosphere. What I admire most is how Professor Alex balances fun & discipline in his school. This is the real deal & not for the faint of heart. My kids are learning real-life self-dense. They grapple! They roll! They are hands-on! Money well spent if you ask me!

My daughter has been with Gracie Humaita for over a year. We go to both facilities, both Reno and Sparks. And each gym provides a variety of instruction and opportunities.My husband and I started her in martial arts three years ago. She tried Taekwondo and then went on to Jiu Jitsu. The principles that my daughter is learning with Jiu Jitsu are precisely what we were hoping for. Not only learning a defensive skill that will protect her and provide a situational awareness to her environment, but she is also learning about discipline, respect, commitment, as well as how to work through challenges under pressure....quite literally. When she is rolling with an opponent, she has to work through the pressure of the opponents weight on top of her, all while they're trying to submit her by a "tap out". The applicability of this situation is very relevant to life and the challenges that it presents.We are new to the Gracie Humaita community but have felt like part of the family since day one. Alex and his instructors are members of Gracie Humaita, and are committed to providing solid instruction. They, too, are developing their skills within the Jiu Jitsu art, and providing instruction helps facilitate their own Jiu Jitsu journey. The vested interest by all is genuine and informative. Their ability to relate to the kids is extremely beneficial for the limited attention span that kids can sometimes have. The repetitive drills and sparing help with retention, which provide the right environment for the kids to learn. I highly recommend Gracie Humaita. Do not hesitate to check this place out; the awareness of this martial art is growing exponentially. Having this discipline part of your child's life will provide those tools to be a successful adult.

My family is really enjoying taking classes. The instructors are fantastic! The prices are fair (especially compared to similar businesses). Also it is kid and women friendly, my wife was nervous about this.. My kids (6 & 10y/o) get very excited to go to class. I myself am learning a lot and also getting back into shape. Overall a win win for everyone.

The Gracie Humaita school in Sparks is an excellent, welcoming, and technique focused real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. You get a real Brazilian instructor teaching real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a great environment.

The Gracie Humaita school in Sparks is a clean, welcoming, family friendly environment for martial artists of all ages. The team here is highly focused on proper technique application and ensuring every student leaves the mat after class with a more complete understanding of the sport, regaurdless of pace or physical limitations. If you've ever considered giving BJJ a shot, I couldn't think of a better place to start.
