I dropped in while in GR for work. What a great place! The coaches were great and very welcoming to a new guy. All of the students were great and gave me some great rolls. This gym is filled with amazing competitors. Coach Miguel showed a great sub from top turtle that I will be adding to my game. Not to mention the gym environment itself is cool with it being in an older downtown building. I definitely recommend stopping in if your in the area. If I'm in GR again this will definitely be my gym of choice! Keep up the great work!

Daniel Gracie Grand Rapids is a legitimate home to a family of competitors that strive for growth and excellence. Consistently growing in size since I started attending a little over a year ago, we’ve turned into a hard working team that welcomes others to join with open arms. Cody and Miguel deserve the upmost respect for the professionalism and brand of Jiu Jitsu they’ve brought to the Grand Rapids area. Please stop in, try a free class, and join the family.

This is the premier place to learn bjj for all ages! I wish I could share all the benefits I've gotten from joining this community to everyone. You’ll have to check it out to see for yourself!

Very female friendly gym! They have a large group of amazing women who train. The coaches make sure the females feel comfortable, especially if you’re new to martial arts. Great coaches with challenging classes and a comprehensive schedule.

I came in with 0 wrestling/combat experience so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. However, I would recommend this gym to anyone. Everyone here is super friendly and supportive to make sure you know what is going on to build your knowledge of the sport.

I checked out Daniel Gracie Grand Rapids today and got to roll with coach Miguel, he had an awesome flow and taught me a solid triangle escape. I really like the the esthetic and layout of the gym and everyone was very friendly. First class was free which is awesome, definitely a gym worth checking out.

Daniel Gracie is the best school in the East! Cody (owner) and Miguel (coach) are great guys and you can tell they are super passionate about bringing the best knowledge to the gym. Everyone in class was extremely friendly. I will most definitely be signing up and going as many times as I can!

One of the coolest gyms I’ve ever been to and been to a lot!!!! You walk into a cool early 1900s building with brick walls and wood floors and wonder where the mats are….. Out a door, up the iron staircase and trough two doors to a Jiu Jitsu speakeasy if there ever was one….. So cool. Add to that the Jiu Jitsu it great, coaches are awesome and left with a good workout and some new friends. 5 out of 5 fist bumps on the Jiu Jitsu ranking system.

I travel a ton and don’t really have a true home gym. I’d have to put these guys in my top 5 gyms that I train at. Great facility, environment and all around great energy. Thanks for the rolls OSSS!!!

Awesome school!!! Welcoming, friendly people. The facility is excellent and clean. The instructors are knowledgeable and skilled and teach to everyone's level. Whether you're wanting to compete or just get into some better shape, this is the place to do it!

Daniel Gracie Team Michigan is hands down the best place to train BJJ in West Michigan. The team is competitive and will push you to grow your ability. The coaches have tremendous knowledge and will help you increase your skill level regardless of where you’re at on your journey. Top notch facility that they continue to upgrade as the school continues to grow. Can’t recommend enough, this is the place to train if you’re in West Michigan!

This is the best academy in Michigan! Cohi and Miguel both welcomed me including all the other students! All around great coaches who push you to be the best regardless of what your goals are. Whether it’s to compete, get in shape, or make new friends. I’m grateful to be apart of a great team/family!

An excellent place to be, whether you are brand new to Jiu Jitsu/MMA, or experienced. This place feels like a community, and the coaches want every individual to be a success. I look forward to class, and attend every chance I get. The coaches have a systematic approach that is very helpful in building technique and muscle memory. I am able to see my progression from the start and how far I have come in such a short time. The trainer’s attention to detail and clear and concise instructions, make it easy to apply new techniques, correctly. If you want to up your game, meet great people, or just improve your overall fitness, I suggest signing up at this gym.

Great coaches as well as rolling partners that are kind and helpful no matter your experience level. They are vwry detail oriented and do a great job of fixing techniques as you are learning. Everything from bjj to mma striking, and even yoga is offered here, and a lot of opportunities to compete as well if you'd like. They are very welcoming even with busy work schedules and I can't wait to have a better schedule to come more consistently!

First time in Grand Rapids and Stopped by while in town for a wedding and Professor Miguel was great. Got some good rounds and workout in. Highly reccomend if visiting or looking for a gym 🔥

Was visiting family for a week and did not want to miss a roll for too long. This crew let me drop in and attend practice and it was a great experience. Good work out and good feedback from the coach. Students were very friendly as well. Gym is very spacious with clean mats. Would definitely recommend if you practice BJJ and live (or are passing through) in the grand rapids area.

Thank you very much for the hospitality and generosity to allow me to drop in while I’m visiting GR for a work event this weekend. I’m very grateful for this group of guys who have heart and clearly take time to keep each other safe while they’re rolling. I got some great rolls in and stayed for the MMA Striking Class. Like the other Luke there, the end was my favorite. It was incredibly hard work but nobody becomes great without working hard. Thanks again to Daniel Gracie, this school and owner/owners, Miguel, and the members there who keep the bills paid. Keep up the great work!

Great community, with coaches who know what they’re doing. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a new gym, or starting BJJ for the first time.

Visited GR for a conference and could join a boxing class at Daniel Gracie GR. The staff was friendly, welcoming and skillful; very much appreciated the oppotunity, thanks!

I was traveling for business and tried an open mat they were having on Saturday. What an awesome experience. Very accommodating to the new guy. Got in a lot of good rolls with some great people. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back when I am in Grand Rapids again. If you are local you absolutely need to check them out!!

I trained there for about 6 months. Stopped because I saw one too many ACLs torn and bones broken. Coaches were nice neighbors but I wouldn't recommend training there if you're not all in on rolling and getting a serious injury. Not every gym is like that

Great BJJ gym. I had my first class here and it was extremely welcoming and clean. If you're on the edge of going, just go!
