Gracie Plant City offers authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu curriculum with a focus on self-defense applications along with sport techniques. Our academy emphasizes a supportive family atmosphere where practitioners of all levels train together. We maintain smaller class sizes to ensure personalized instruction and faster progression for our members.
No prior experience is necessary. Our structured curriculum is designed to accommodate complete beginners. We offer dedicated fundamentals classes where new students learn essential techniques and principles at a comfortable pace before transitioning to more advanced training. Many of our most dedicated members started with zero martial arts background.
Gracie Plant City provides age-appropriate programs for the entire family. Check out our schedule for the latest classes. Our program features curriculum specifically designed for that age group’s physical and mental development while maintaining the core principles of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
For optimal progress, we recommend training 2-3 times per week consistently. This frequency allows enough mat time to develop skills while giving your body sufficient recovery between sessions. Our membership options accommodate various training schedules, and many members find that even training twice weekly leads to noticeable improvement in techniques and overall fitness.
For your first class, simply wear comfortable athletic clothing like a t-shirt and shorts or leggings. We provide loaner gis (BJJ uniforms) for new students during trial classes. Bring a water bottle and any personal hygiene items you might need. Our welcoming environment ensures new students feel comfortable regardless of fitness level or experience.
Short answer; absolutely not! We have members of all health and fitness levels, and our classes are designed to fit around each one of these levels. The only thing we ask is that you bring your best attitude when you come to one of our classes. If you have the mental framework determined to become physically healthy, that is all we want to see. Our trainers will help you get into the best shape of your life!
No, we love teaching new members. There is no better way to gain respect from our community than someone who has the will to join our class without any experience. If you can take that first step, you have already proven to our group that you are a strong-minded individual. We will teach you everything you need to know.
Sweats and a T-shirt, or yoga attire, work best. You’ll also want to bring a towel and a bottle of water. And of course bring the mental attitude that you’re going to kill this workout!
Of course. Although, we must say you get what you put in. If you follow a consistent workout pattern, you are bound to see the results you want. On average, Nak Muay (Muay Thai Student) burn an average of +820 calories per hour.
Most of the training comes from the natural, isotonic, aerobic, anaerobic, and isometric exercises, although, some weight training may be recommended or used. These exercises help our members with losing weight and toning the whole body; our focus is for you to develop speed, flexibility, and force.
We understand how busy your life can be; we would love to see you at least once a week. We believe once a week will be a good start for you to build your overall endurance and capability to implement the basic kickboxing moves. Once you have built the basic foundation of the Kickboxing moves, we encourage you to then increase the amount of frequency and intensity of your workouts. We want you to go at your own pace, but make sure to challenge yourself to see the best results.
