Martial Arts Schools in Jacksonville

“My kids, ages 6 and 4, really enjoy learning jujitsu at Gracie Barra Jacksonville and Gracie Barra St. John’s. The professors and coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming, making every class a positive experience. Classes are fun and engaging, offering opportunities not only to learn new techniques but also to make new friends and build teamwork. The mats are always very clean, and the gym environment is friendly and inviting. I highly recommend it!“

“Our kiddo is so excited to start training here. We had tried other places but he didn't take to it so I was convined he would not like it but since the first day we tried class he gravitated toward Master Ben. Excited for his journey!“

“We are extremely happy with Karate America on San Jose! A huge thank you to Master Martinez and Mr. Franco for their knowledge, patience, and incredible ability to work with the kids. They provide such a positive example of discipline, respect, and confidence while still making classes fun and engaging.

Our 9-year-old son switched from Tersak’s, and we have been very satisfied with the transition. He truly enjoys coming to class, and we can already see growth in both his confidence and discipline. We are also hoping to enroll our 5-year-old soon because of how welcoming and encouraging everyone has been.

The atmosphere is always friendly, organized, and positive. The kids genuinely have fun while learning important life skills. We are also looking forward to summer camp again this year.

We also had our son’s birthday party here, and it went more than smoothly. The staff did an amazing job organizing everything, and all of the kids had a great time. Highly recommend Karate America to any parent looking for a supportive and professional martial arts program for their children!“
