This is by far the best BJJ gym in the surrounding area! Daniel is very knowledgeable and has a very clear understanding how to teach everyone, from beginner to expert(children and adults). I am hesitant to leave reviews as things usually change from the 1st experience you have at a new place (usually for the worse), but after an entire year, I feel comfortable leaving a review. My son and myself have learned more than ever anticipated after attending Gracie Spring Hill over the past year. I am very thankful we found Gracie Spring Hill, and especially thankful for all Daniel's help. I would recommend Gracie Spring Hill for any child or adult wanting to learn or even try any MMA, striking classes, or jujitsu. My son and I give them 4 thumbs up!! Keep up the great work!!

My two teenage sons and I just recently joined the BJJ program and are really enjoying it! None of us have any experience with martial arts and we were pretty intimidated the first time we went but found the place and the staff to be welcoming, helpful, and considerate. Highly recommend!

Gracie spring Hill has been an awesome place to learn and train Brazilian jiu jitsu with my family. We started brand new in May, and from the beginning everyone was helpful and inviting, and the atmosphere one of camaraderie. Coach Daniel is a great instructor who really goes the extra mile for his students, if you're looking to learn BJJ you won't go wrong here.

My son has been training here over 2 years and loves every minute of it. Daniel is an excellent instructor and his assistant coaches know how to teach both kids and adults. My son’s progress from a few years ago to now is like night and day. His confidence is way up and he also helps new students however he can, proof that Gracie Spring Hill instills good values of sportsmanship and teamwork. They are more like a family here than just a martial arts gym, where everyone is accepted and appreciated for being a part of it.


There are no attitudes here and everyone wants to see everyone progress and get better. Getting better only helps everyone around you get better as skill levels rise. Whether you are brand new or an experienced grappler, everyone is treated with respect and there is always something new to learn to better oneself both as a martial artist and a person in general.

I love going to Gracie SpringHill with my family. All of the parents sit together to watch their Ninjas train and to cheer them on. You would be surprised how proficient some of these kids are with their jujitsu.
I’ve also noticed such a positive difference in my boys since signing them up for jujitsu. They are more well behaved and respectful than ever. Jujitsu is now a MUST!
If you haven’t been to a class your really missing out.
