I trained under Shawn for 3 or so years. It’s been just short of 6 years since I moved away and I swear there is not a day I walk on the mats and don’t hear Shawn’s voice in my head. Shawn and the community he fostered at GH Columbia are the standard by which I hold and test every other gym against.If you’re hesitant to try BJJ or just nervous to do something new. I challenge you to speak with Shawn. He has an ability to make anyone relax their shoulders and chuckle

Gracie Humaitá is amazing. I had my son signed up for a while and my son grew a lot, not only in ju Jitsu but also in his confidence and discipline. The instructors are truly amazing with the kids and want each of them to be as successful as possible.

My son (college age) trains at Gracie Humaitá and loves it. He was recently up for a belt promotion. Coach Shawn was very gracious and coordinated it so I could come into town and see him tie the hard earned blue belt around my son’s waist. I can’t say enough good things about a professor that runs his school with that kind of personal consideration for his students

My daughter has been attending classes for over two years. The culture here is incredible. They focus on being great human beings first then developing their skills. I’d recommend any parent that is looking for an activity that will fill their little ones with confidence and increase their self esteem to enroll them at Gracie Humaita.

GH is such a friendly, supportive, and welcoming environment. You learn great skills and get a great workout. All women should learn defense in such a safe and approachable environment!
