Love FightWorks Academy! Highly recommend.My kids and I joined Fightworks Academy a couple months ago after searching for 3 years for the right BJJ... facility for our family. We would have joined sooner, but the kids class was not offered at the time. NOW THEY DO HAVE KIDS CLASSES - YAY!!!Not only do they teach the discipline we want (Gracie), but the instructors and higher-belted students are so knowledgeable and encouraging. Everyone we have met thus far has been very welcoming and friendly. Whether you want to compete, learn self defense, or just exercise, this is the place to be.read more

Fantastic people and wonderful techniques!I traveled in from out of town (California) and I wanted to find a place to train for the weekend. To my... surprise, they were having a small class on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving! It was a small but very informative session. I enjoyed my experience so much there that I went back again on Saturday and this time, I brought my younger nephew with me. The people there have really great techniques and they offer really great rolls and advice -- this is given since they are a gym founded by the Gracie family. I am definitely looking forward to coming here everytime I visit Greensville. Special shoutout to: Brandon(read more

I'm visiting from Georgia and was looking for a gym to train at and I am impressed! I looked through a few, but settled on this one due to it being a... Gracie Academy. Everyone was super nice and the team atmosphere was strong. Plus, incredibly knowledgeable professors. Go to them now!read more

Really great atmosphere. I have never done any kind of martial art and everyone is completely welcoming and patient. I did my first full class last... night, and I am sore in places I forgot that I had - but it’s a good sore, and I can’t wait till Saturday when I can go again. Thanks.Now that I have been attending Fightworks since February of 2018, I’ve had a few people ask “why do you do Jiu Jitsu?” I’ve never really given a good answer to this. Originally, doing a martial art was just something I’d been mildly interested in since I was a kid, and never pulled the trigger on for one reason or another. When I reached my highest weight of 305 pounds, I knew that I needed to do something, so I started walking and watching what I was eating, but that only took me so far. Walking and lifting weights was boring to me, so I started to look into a few different martial arts. After looking into various types of martial arts, and ruling out the ones that included heavy take downs (I don’t like repeatedly falling down) I decided that I wanted to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, since it focused on fighting from the ground and Fightworks is also very focused on self-defense techniques. Once I started, in addition to finding out how out of shape I still was, I realized how defenseless I was. Even at 6’-2” and 270 pounds, I was destroyed by people half my size. I still have a very long way to go, but after several months of learning some of the different techniques and learning how to calm down in this new environment, I realized that also wanted to become dangerous. At least as dangerous as a +/- 50-year-old with a bad back can be. Sure, I am still sore in places, but it’s a good sore, one that has meaning. My back is still stiff most days, but at least now I can bend over at the waist without it going out for two weeks – I certainly don’t miss that. I am down to +/- 245 pounds and 6 inches smaller in the waist. I hope to continue my weight loss until I can compete again at the under 230-pound and up range, but if I don’t, that is ok too. My self-confidence is way up, stress at work and home are nothing compared to having large and very skillful people sitting on my chest and head or folding me into a pretzel. My life long struggle with my temper is gone, and my general stamina in all other areas is up dramatically. Plus, I am finally starting to feel like I am becoming at least somewhat “dangerous”, and more importantly, I feel completely able to control it. I don’t get nearly as upset in traffic if someone cuts me off like I did before. At home, I have become a much calmer, and I think a much better husband and father. I am also much less likely to get into a physical altercation, because I am very aware of what can happen – but at the same time, I feel much more capable of being able to defend myself or my family if I am forced to.This is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.read more

The academy has great instructors who are super friendly and very knowledgeable. They treat you as family and will help in anyway they can.

The details of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu are remarkable and different from other schools I’ve trained at. Although high athleticism can go a long way, the... grips and angles taught in this school are a true game changer. The staff is welcoming, mats are always clean, and friendships continue off the mat as well. Great school!! ???read more
