Jason is one of the most dedicated owner/coach you will ever meet. The atmosphere of the gym is truly warm and welcoming. Come in and see for yourself, what all the hype is about. See you on the mats…
Jason (the owner) has created an incredible learning environment for kids and adults to learn BJJ, at all degrees of experience. He is an amazing teacher who genuinely wants his students to succeed. Jason is a professional who is readily available to answer all of your questions, so come check it out! Military friendly.
I was on vacation with the family in Panama City but I needed to keep my training, thank goodness I found Rilion Gracie jiu jitsu.,they offer early morning class and I could train and be back home before the family even new I was gone. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Great instructors..
We started our son here two years ago. Our son and our family has absolutely fell in love with this place! They have really helped given our son a positive way to be active. He has made a ton of friends and loves Coach Jason and all the staff! I have joined the adult program and thoroughly enjoy it! I usually join a gym and leave within a month because I feel I don’t belong or unmotivated. I look forward to my classes! I love seeing the kids and everyone there! They have become an extended family to us!
I could write a million wonderful things about this place. The instructors, the classes, the little Jiu jitsu kiddos are all amazing. My daughter loves this place and the people. I finally stepped out of my comfort zone a few weeks ago and joined them on the mats, and I must say, its one of the best decisions I have ever made! Come join us! Any Age, Male or Female, we will be waiting!
Terrific, experienced coaches, really friendly and great place to get into shape. I dont give many positive reviews, but this place provides an excellent service and has a remarkable staff. I highly recommend it for both adults and kids!
We love this place! Its a great place to train and learn jujitsu. Very family oriented. They have a great kids and adult program. All of my kids attend and love it!
I cant say enough good things about Rilion Gracie Academy of Panama City. The thing that sets them apart is they make you feel welcome and important. Jason and the entire staff are like family. This is the place to go if you truly want to learn BJJ. My boy Ryker will never go anywhere else.
Great place. Great people. Kids love it. You wont be disappointed.
Our experiences with Rilion Gracie BJJ Panama City are second to none. It’s not easy to find a business that provides excellent service but this one delivers and then some. For starters they don’t only provide your BJJ classes for all ages, but they offer an array of classes to suit everyone’s needs. The early morning classes gives you a chance to get a workout before you head on to work. My favorite class right now (not really but I need it) Cardio gets your heart pumping and you have a personal Coach standing by you coaching you through it. There’s weight lifting to tone up the old saggy muscles (haha), and on top of that, there’s an amazing after school program that picks your child up from school and brings them back to the gym safely. Kids are supervised at all times. Kids get a chance to do their homework, play, and participate in BJJ classes.In my opinion, you can’t get better services. The Reynolds family are an in sync team and run this place very effectively. We’ll be heartbroken when is time to move though, we enjoy coming to the gym for classes and love interacting with the family, they’re heartwarming caring folks that open their doors and hearts to every patron.Come check them out! You won’t be disappointed...
Definitely a family oriented gym! Absolutely focusing on kids and adults fundamentals!
This is what to expect. You show up, you wear your gi, you tie your belt wrong (no one calls you out) you run around in a circle and hope no one can hear you try and stifle your heavy breathing. You do some crawly stuff on the ground. 5 to 10 min tops. What happens next you ask? Well Ill tell ya. You sit in a circle around one of the upper belts who are instructing (wes/jason/john etc). Then you work technique for the next 45 min boom class over line up bow out now the next class begins. Typically rolls. Now this has been my experience for the past 2 months for the 6-7pm thur,fri,sat classes. Everyone is very nice....its like olive garden but with out the breadsticks....I mean there is a pretty badass bread cutter but we wont go into that rn. Anyways when youre here youre family. But like a family you actually want to be around lol
Great classes, knowledgeable instructors.
My son has been training BJJ for eight years. We were a military family and we have been to many gyms. This is our second home. Excellent instruction and very family friendly. If you go anywhere else in Panama City youre doing yourself/your children a disservice. Come check it out. You wont be disappointed.
I have been training Martial Arts my whole life. the team and environment this Academy brings into the world of Jiu Jitsu is class act. Top notch instruction and a great group of people to train with.
One of the best decisions Ive ever made was signing up at Gracie Elite Lynn Haven . Not only are Jason and Wes great and friendly people, theyre essentially jiu jitsu encyclopedias, none have been as informative and inviting as Gracie Elite Lynn Haven. The environment that they have created is second to none and feels like a giant family. Whether you have never trained and are looking to start or have experience and are looking for a different school, youd be doing yourself a huge disservice by not at least checking it out.
This gym is awesome! it has a great family feel about it with a even greater competitive feeling when it comes to rolls!. come here to make yourself or your family better or if you just wanna roll. It is a great time every class!
Great place, not intimidating, the staff is very supportive and I left feeling better than I went in.
Absolutely LOVE it here! My daughter is 7 and she is eager and ready to go everyday. They are so good with the kids, very encouraging! They keep it fun while still learning. This gym has gone above and beyond for us and we couldnt be happier!
Great professors, coaches, and teammates that want you to succeed and learn. If you have a child that is not sure what they want to do; and you want them to be part of something special, then swing by and check out RGA with coach Jason.
My son received a flyer from school and was not in any after school activity so we thought we would give it a shot. It is now week 3 and he is loving every minute of it! I like that the parents can sit on the mat and watch and how enthused the instructor is, the other day he walked into class with a dinosaur head on and thats all my son talked about for a week. Trying to convince my wife to take there kickboxing class lol!
Was in town from Seattle these guys welcomed me in let me borrow a gi. Will definitely come back next time I’m back.
I take my nephew to Rilion Gracie in Lynn Haven and here recently my 21 month old daughter has started mimicking the moves so the gym owner bought her a GI and at no charge has been letting her participate in class (which she does for about 20 minutes lol). Love the instructors and the time they take to make sure every kid is getting something out of the class.
My son loves lessons here. Great staff and environment.
The guys up at this gym are stellar at what they do. Useful that they live nearby where we moved to in the Panama City area. My older kid has something to do three nights a week after school. The rates are better than other places we called in the area, and the trainer she has, Jose, is a pretty down to earth guy, and hes knowledgeable. If youre looking for a brazilian jiu jitsu instructor or even just karate or martial arts, Id recommend giving these guys a call. Theyre in Lynn Haven, near the 77/390 intersection. Very close and central to where we live!
They also have cardio kickboxing and this is my 3rd week attending. I wasn’t sure I could do it much less enjoy it but I have to admit it is definitely a workout and you leave exhausted but I LOVE it! Thanks Coach Jose for the push and the motivation!
My son Jayce is only three years old and has always been super clingy but thanks to jiujitsu class with Jose, Jayce now runs into class with a giant smile and immediately starts interacting with other kids. He has done a complete 360 in the last two weeks, it’s unbelievable.Last night after class he even asked to participate in a tournament they have coming up in October.. I was mind blown! We love the difference Jose and Jason have made in Jayce and will be members of Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Lynn Haven for Life!
Learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, The Gracie Way, from the best around!
Awesome 👍😊
Great Gym!
