Gracie United Mandeville

Gracie United is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu-focused martial arts training facility serving the Mandeville area. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, most notably by applying joint-locks and chokes to defeat the opponent. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most effective self-defense martial art in the world and is great for kids, teens, and women. Our facility offers a large variety of programs. Though our main focus on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we also offer classes in mixed martial arts with instruction from UFC, Strikeforce, and Bellator veterans. Visit our website for more information!

Professor Rafael Ellwanger leads the coaching at Gracie United Mandeville, giving students a clear point of contact for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction and overall mat guidance.

New students can expect instruction that emphasizes leverage, technique, and steady development in a setting built for kids, teens, and adults alike.
