Our school is uniquely positioned as a sanctuary for authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, strictly adhering to the principles and methodologies laid down by Helio himself. Unlike many schools that focus on competition, we emphasize self-defense and the foundational techniques that empower practitioners of all ages and abilities. Our structured curriculum from white belt to black belt is designed to ensure that each student masters the essential aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, progressing through a time-tested system that remains true to Helio’s vision. This comprehensive approach is unmatched, as it prepares students not just for the mat but for real-life situations. Jake, our head instructor, began his journey in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in 1992/93, training under the direct lineage of Helio Gracie. With over three decades on the mat, Jake has developed into an exceptional instructor with an unparalleled understanding of Jiu-Jitsu. His deep experience, combined with his dedication to the art, ensures that every student at Gracie St. George receives world-class instruction in a supportive and authentic environment.

When I got out of the Marine Corps I had done a little Jiu-Jitsu so I wanted to find a quality…read moremartial arts academy to learn from and I was so glad I found Patriot Jiu-Jitsu! Not only is the coach a Marine veteran like myself. He also is a serious Jiu-Jitsu competitor! I could not believe my luck in finding this place in such a small town in Southern Utah. On a more serious note I had two rods put in my back years before finding Patriot and I wasn't sure I would be able to train. Coach Dwight gave me exercises that helped me eliminate pain and continue to train regularly. He also modified exercises for me when necessary so that I could get the training I needed. Not to mention that as a veteran, having an outlet like Jiu-Jitsu really helped me to relax and reduced my stress significantly. I love Patriot Jiu-Jitsu!

This is in response to Anthony J's review and his 25 year old adult child. The real reason…read moreyour(dad) showed up is because Ryan called him out for beating up the WOMEN & CHILDREN the day before in class!!! He has been cracking them like they are grown men, after multiple warnings from multiple people! I had to get onto him smacking around my 11 year old. I told him to tone it down and 10 Seconds later he throws a full blown spinning heel kick to the liver and drops an 11 year old???You guys should be embarrassed of yourselves and you give MMA a bad name! You should be ashamed for your sons actions and the way he behaves in there(what 25 year old brings their dad in anyways, lol)!!!! Please do us all a favor and stay away.

I was impressed with…read morehow Professor Mike (or Coach...not sure how the kids addressed him) ran the class, from the type of circuit drills for warm up to the way they assimilate all of the different aspects of a competition, it was great to watch the kids passionately support one another. The academy itself is really clean and there is a lot of parking. They have ample mat space as well as a lot of seating with a couple of couches and a wall of chairs to spectate from. The dressing rooms are also separated from the restroom. It was a great first impression, my nephew has been with this academy for some time now and enjoys it here. His professor seemed like a genuinely nice guy too. I would recommend checking this place out for yourself, nothing but good vibes here.
