Big things happening at Gracie Barra Tacoma & Renton.

We’re leveling up.

🔥 Professor Matheus Morais
Black Belt for over 6 years.

13–win Professional MMA fighter.

High-level striker. High-level grappler. Proven under pressure.

This isn’t theory. This is experience forged in competition, in cages, and on podiums. When you learn from Matheus, you’re learning from someone who has tested his Jiu-Jitsu at the highest levels.

And that matters.

💜 Coach Kelsey Jamison
Purple Belt.

Over 9 years of consistent training.
Passionate about fundamentals and exceptional with kids.

Don’t let her kindness fool you, she’s the silent assassin on the mats.

She brings patience, structure, and a deep love for the art—especially in developing the next generation on the mats. Skill + heart + experience is a powerful combination.

We are honored to have BOTH of them here in the greater Seattle area, teaching and building something special inside our Tacoma and Renton academies.

High-level instruction.
Strong culture.
Real community.

The standard just went up. 🥋🔥
