Our History:
Gracie United is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu association led by Professor Rafael Ellwanger in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. With over 25 locations across three states we’ve grown a large family of martial artists. Our students compete in grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA). Above all else, our students train BJJ to gain an understanding of self-defense and improve health. Gracie United Mandeville opened its doors in 2016 and continuously strives to carry out the Gracie United method and legacy.
