Gracie United Hancock Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Gracie United Hancock Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded to bring the Team Jucão lineage and a complete martial arts curriculum to Bay St Louis and the Hancock County area. The academy is woman-owned, with Sarah Lebeau leading the instruction alongside coach Jill Arnona. Their mission is to empower students through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and no-gi training, with a focus on building both skill and confidence. The school has become a local fixture, offering a place for students of all ages to develop discipline and resilience on and off the mats. The program at Gracie United Hancock centers on traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with both gi and no-gi classes available. Students learn fundamental and advanced grappling techniques under the guidance of experienced coaches who emphasize practical self-defense, technical growth, and teamwork. The academy also offers a structured kickboxing program for those interested in striking, and a dedicated homeschool jiu-jitsu class designed to make martial arts accessible to families with alternative education schedules. Classes are organized for adults and children, starting as young as three years old, with sessions tailored to different age groups and experience levels. The team holds regular open mats, encourages drop-ins, and welcomes visitors interested in training. Located in Hancock Square, the facility is wheelchair accessible and designed for convenience, making it easy for anyone in the Bay St Louis area to get started in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or expand their martial arts training.
