From the reviews
Gracie Burlington is an amazing gym! The owners and instructors are top notch. Spenser is an amazing instructor and can get even the most timid and shy of kids to open up. He instills confidence, grace and poise into all of his students. I am so glad that my family has become part of the Gracie Burlington family!
This gym is a family and the instruction is unparalleled. It is a very inclusive and patient environment with a fantastic kids program and respect for all is emphasized. You will not find a gym with more class offerings or better people. Veteran and women friendly and great for all levels of experience.
We love Gracie Burlington! My children have learned so much in just a few months, we definitely get our money's worth. We love all of the instructors and trust in their knowledge and abilities. At Gracie Burlington you're not just learning Jiu Jitsu, you're gaining life lessons and tightknit relationships!
Absolutely the best in town. My 9yr old has learned more in the past 4mos at Gracie than he did in a year with other instructors. The Gracie instructors truly care and want you to learn and have fun at the same time. Highly recommended for kids and adults.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Burlington Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
