Gracie Jiu Jitsu Wilson

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Wilson is led by head instructor Caleb Lewis, a black belt committed to bringing the Gracie self-defense system to the Wilson, North Carolina community. The academy’s mission centers on building confidence, discipline, and practical self-defense skills through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Training follows the traditional Gracie lineage, focusing on techniques that apply to real-life situations, with an emphasis on integrity, respect, and personal growth. Classes serve a broad range of ages, from kids as young as five to adults, reflecting the school’s family-oriented approach. Students progress through structured gi classes for kids, teens, and adults, with additional no-gi sessions available for adults aiming to expand their grappling experience. The curriculum balances fundamentals with skill development suitable for all levels, supporting those interested in fitness, self-defense, or competition preparation. Saturday open mat sessions provide extra mat time for all students to drill techniques and spar in a flexible setting. The school maintains a clean, wheelchair-accessible facility designed to accommodate families and individuals alike. Gracie Jiu Jitsu Wilson also offers targeted programs for youth, focusing on confidence and coordination, alongside adult classes that integrate self-defense training with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fundamentals. The academy’s schedule includes weekday evening classes and open mat on weekends, creating multiple opportunities for consistent training. With a team of black belt instructors and coaches, the academy emphasizes hands-on instruction tailored to each student’s development, aiming to cultivate both technical skill and personal empowerment.
