What Our Students Say
I’ve been training in various martial arts for 31 years. While I did not grow up with the Gracie University system (it didn’t exist yet), I have watched it grow and mature into the most comprehensive training available. We can argue attributes of sparring all day long, but nothing comes close to level of professionalism and commitment to long-term performance as Gracie Omaha. Thank you, Brian and team for taking in a worn down stray and inspiring me to find joy in Jiu Jitsu again.
I joined Gracie Jiu-Jitsu about a month ago. One of my daughter's and I had been talking about doing a self defense class. She found Gracie here in Omaha and we could not be more happy with our choice! The leaders are truly wonderful people that care about you and your experience with them! I LOVE my class and absolutely HATE to miss it! I walk out of there truly feeling empowered and ready to take on the world! they might have just found a customer for life!
My husband found the studio in August and our entire family has since joined as members. The kids are thriving in the Bullyproof kids program which is such a great program to give confidence and strength in positive ways to kids. Brian is an amazing coach and adapts to the atmosphere when different personalities are present. The fact that the studio is family run is a huge plus. We love supporting local owners and families.
I am part of the Women Empowered Program which is an amazing community of women. Brian and Nicole have taught me so much and I continue to learn from them technique and situational awareness recognition. Brian brings in his perspective from the law enforcement background and Nicole brings a lot of practical thoughts from a women’s perspective. I look forward to going each week. I now watch the videos available to me to refresh and study before class.
My husband is in the Combatives program and has loved the variety in students who come from all backgrounds and expertise. The studio is focused on techniques based on typical scenarios mimicking real life. Eventually we practice reflex development when we master techniques. It’s a great community full of positive people in a safe environment. I tell everyone I know about them and will continue to support this studio as my own family grows with them. We love Brian and Nicole!!
My wife and I visited this summer. The facility was spotless. We felt welcome from the moment we walked in. All the students were working together and cooperating. It was a safe and positive learning environment. Brian is a confident and humble instructor. We would highly recommend GJJ Omaha for anybody of any age or athletic ability!

Frequently Asked Questions
There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.
Our students start at all different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by doing our BJJ classes.
Just show up! Upon arriving, you will be given a uniform (called a “gi”) and will be given a focused introductory lesson by one of our instructors before you join in the group class.
Every beginner class is taught with no previous experience necessary, so you will not feel left behind.
Our program is structured by class number (23 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You can even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start!
Absolutely! Specifically because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has proven reliable in defending against larger opponents for nearly a century, it is the perfect martial art for women.
Many women train in our Women Empowered® program and then transfer into our co-ed Gracie Combatives classes. However, both programs are suitable for women beginners.
We love seeing the physical confidence develop in our women students as they gain self-defense skills on the mat!
