From my first day I was hooked and training at Gracie Martial Arts has been great! The combatives program is a great structure for beginners. The instruction is excellent and the school is an overall great environment.

Gracie Martial Arts has been such a fun and life-changing experience in the Women Empowered program. Harlan is an incredible teacher, leading with a strong depth of knowledge and patience. I recommend the Empowered program to any woman interested in developing strong, effective defensive skills and joining a team of amazing women. I have achieved my pink belt and still learn something new every class. Susie has recently joined us as an instructor and brings energy that carries the program to a new level! Who wouldn’t want to join us?

We have been going for 4 years now .My son loves it

Excellent instructors and clean environment. I recommend Gracie Martials Arts.

Best place to learn Jiu Jitsu! I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to learn Jiu jitsu to come to Gracie Martial Arts! Professor Harlen is a certified instructor who is very patient and teaches very well. 5 stars hands down!

I’m so grateful for finding Harlan’s school, he is very intelligent and loves teaching the art of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. His school is welcoming and very friendly. The art of Gracie Jiu Jitsu is very effective, if you want to defend yourself in a real fight. I am a brown belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu and I recommend this school to anyone.

I am grateful to have been introduced to Harlan at Gracie Immersion Camp in May of 2019. Fast forward to 2020 where some of my personal circumstances changed and I began attending Gracie Martial Arts. Harlan is one of the most patient instructors I have ever worked with. He spends the time to break down the details and explain the “why” behind each technique. After the first class it becomes evident that he has an extraordinary love for jiu-jitsu and a passion to teach the art of self defense.Most fights end up on the ground- end of discussion. Having training in defending oneself standing, against an object, and on the ground can be paramount to survival- even more so as a woman. In my personal opinion there is NO other curriculum to learn for ANY woman or child (or man for that matter). A common fear for people who want to train Jiu jitsu is that they will walk into a school full of competitive aggressive fighters who have no regard for the safety of others’. I assure you there are environments that exist like that but not here. We have a group of respectful people whose objective is to get better while helping you get better.Harlan is a certified instructor and a certified training center in Gracie JJ. Many people claim to teach this curriculum but few are actually properly trained to do so, that being said don’t settle for imposters instead COME JOIN US.

Excellent detailed instruction by Professor Harlan Taylor. Superb technical skills and is a very patient person. A true master of the art. Highly recommended. Two Thumbs Up!

Had the pleasure of training here a few years ago. Coach Harlan is an awesome instructor and cares about his students. Everyone there while I was training was friendly and welcoming. They do a great job of balancing self-defense techniques with grappling and striking.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a great place to learn jiu jitsu. The owner (Harlan) is awesome and patient with new students. Great place to take your kids or yourself.

This is a hard marital art to get into. You will get chocked a lot, experience pain, get chocked alot, and have to go against natural instincts to learn the movesAlso, you will get chocked alot.But the instructor (Harlen Taylor) is good at his job. He teaches you the basics at a good slow level. Then he gradually enhance the difficulty it so your mind, body, and soul can get used to it.There are classes for gun, knife, and grappling. Which is very useful to know in this chaotic world.I highly recommend this place for those who want to learn Brazilian Martial Arts properly. For you will learn more than expected.
