“This is what Daniel Gracie always says — everyone has their own preference between Gi and No-Gi, but you should really train both. One helps the other.”

We’re seeing it happen right here at Daniel Gracie Lancaster. Our Gi classes continue to grow every week, and our No-Gi classes are building momentum right alongside them.

Each style teaches you different skills, different reactions, and a deeper understanding of Jiu-Jitsu as a whole. If you want to truly improve, don’t limit yourself — step on the mat for both.

Come train with us and level up your game 💪

One of the many benefits of being a Daniel Gracie Lancaster student is the opportunity to train at one of the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools in Philadelphia.

This past Saturday, our student Chris Gell visited Daniel Gracie Philly with our coaches, got to experience Daniel’s class, and absolutely loved it! We’re incredibly proud of how well he performed on the mats.

…although it definitely looked like he needed a nap afterward 😆💪

Keep pushing, keep growing, and keep representing the team!

Who’s ready to roll this Monday night? 🔥

The squad is looking sharp in those Daniel Gracie gis—this is the energy we love to see on the mats!

We know a few of you only make those Monday appearances… no names 😏 but we’d honestly love to see you more often. The progress, the laughs, the grind—it’s always better when everyone’s here.

We have a blast training together (and yeah… watching you get pushed a little 😆), but more than anything, we just enjoy having this team together.

Let’s keep growing, keep showing up, and make sure nobody gets left behind. See you on the mats! 💪

Every child is different—and that’s exactly how we like it.

Some kids come in ready to compete.
Some just want to have fun.
Some are here to discover they’re capable of more than they ever imagined.

But no matter their goals, something special happens on the mat… they become teammates, friends, and family.

That’s the environment we’re proud to build in our Jiu-Jitsu classes—a place where everyone feels welcome, supported, and valued. No drama. Just growth, fun, and respect for one another.

Come be part of it. 💙

Sundays at the academy have a different kind of energy 🥋

Between church and family time, our Sunday class is usually quieter than the weekdays—but that doesn’t take away from its value. We keep the doors open for members whose schedules are packed during the week, because for some students, weekends are the only chance to train.

What makes Sundays special is the space it creates. With fewer people on the mats, it often feels like a semi-private training session where students can get more focused attention and detailed instruction.

And even on these slower days, we still have all three coaches on site, ready and waiting to help you level up whenever you walk in.

If your week is busy, Sundays are here for you. Consistency is what matters most in this journey. 🥋💪

Kids Jiu-Jitsu class moments like these are just the best 🥹🥋

Watching our 5-year-olds Dylan and Adrien roll with each other is absolutely adorable. It’s honestly one of the cutest ages to see on the mats—full of energy, curiosity, and smiles while they’re learning real skills at the same time.

Jack and Sloan are also making amazing progress. With how busy life can get, they still show up to train whenever they can, and that consistency is really paying off.

I still remember Sloan’s very first class—such a sweet girl with the brightest smile. She picked things up so quickly, and now she’s rolling confidently with her brother Jack… and even giving him a tough time! 💪

One of my favorite things to see is after each round, Jack always gives Sloan a big hug, making sure she knows she did great. That kind of support between teammates and siblings is what makes this journey even more special.

These are the moments that remind us what martial arts is really about. ❤️🥋

Monday night adult Jiu-Jitsu at 8:00 PM 🥋

There’s something special happening here every Monday night.

Everyone has a busy life—work, family, responsibilities—but somehow, you still show up on the mats. That consistency says a lot.

Even if we don’t see Ermie and Mickey the rest of the week 😂, we know your time is valuable, and we truly appreciate you choosing to spend part of it training with us.

Keep coming. Keep putting in the work. You’ll keep getting better—not just physically, but mentally too. Jiu-Jitsu helps build focus, resilience, and a healthier mindset in everyday life.

See you Monday night. Let’s get a little better together. 💪

We are honored to be part of the Daniel Gracie family — and moments like this remind us just how strong that support truly is.

Last week, we had the privilege of welcoming Professor Yuji Okamura from Daniel Gracie Philadelphia to our mats. His guidance, knowledge, and energy made a huge impact on our students, and we’re incredibly grateful for the time he spent helping our team grow.

And to our students — we couldn’t be more proud.

You stepped up to the challenge and pushed through 8 rounds of 5-minute rolls (far beyond the usual 3-minute rounds), and not a single person gave up. Every round, every second — you showed heart, toughness, and determination all the way to the end.

Like we’ve said before…
You are no longer rookies.

Thank you, Yuji.
Thank you, Daniel Gracie Philadelphia.

This is what family looks like on the mats.

At Daniel Gracie Lancaster, we don’t just run big kids classes — we run them the right way.

When the mats are full and energy is high, we make sure every student gets the attention they deserve. That’s why we always have 3 coaches on the mat — because every child learns differently, and every level matters.

Coach Jordan brings the heat with advanced techniques, pushing our more experienced students to sharpen their skills and level up.

Coach Vickie is the heart of our entry-level Little Lions. With incredible patience (powered by raising two little girls!), she knows exactly how to guide new students, helping them feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn.

Coach Chris focuses on our Tiny and Little Lions, making sure they’re not only learning but also having fun. He keeps a close eye on their development and helps build that positive first connection with jiu-jitsu.

We’re proud to have a team that works together like this — making sure every child is supported, challenged, and smiling.

Because here, we’re not just teaching techniques…
We’re raising lions and helping them find their roar 🦁

🥋 Dedication Beyond the Mats: The Daniel Gracie Lancaster Standard
Ever wonder what makes our coaching staff so sharp? It’s because the learning never stops.

🚗 The Road to Philadelphia
Our coaches aren't just teaching at our school; they are constantly putting in the miles and the work. They regularly head to Daniel Gracie Philadelphia to train with the best in the world. Why? Because to give our students at Daniel Gracie Lancaster the highest level of instruction, they have to stay on the cutting edge of the art.

💪 8 Rounds of Grit
It’s not just "practice"—it’s hard training, every single time. There are days we watch our coaches finish 8 brutal rounds of rolls until they can barely move. Their bodies are exhausted, their gis are soaked, and they’ve given everything to the mats.

🙌 Respect the Dedication
But here is where the true heart shows: even after those grueling morning sessions in Philly, they still manage to drive back and be on the mats in Lancaster to teach our afternoon classes.

That level of commitment—to push their own limits so they can better yours—is exactly why we have the best team around. Give it up for your coaches and their incredible dedication to the gentle art! 👊

🏒 From "Little Saul" to Teenage Warrior: Welcome Back!
There is nothing we love more than seeing a familiar face return to the mats at Daniel Gracie Lancaster.

🥋 The Evolution of Saul
Saul has been one of Coach Chris's favorite students for a long time. We’ve had the privilege of watching him grow from "Little Saul" into the young man he is today. He isn’t so little anymore—he’s officially a teenager now (and a handsome one at that!).

🎖️ A Well-Deserved Milestone
Not only is he back, but he’s already making moves! Huge congratulations to Saul for earning his stripe today. Seeing that progress after returning to the mats is what it's all about.

⚖️ Balancing the Grind
We know how busy life gets, especially when you're dedicated to a sport like Hockey. Saul has been working hard on the ice, but we are extremely happy to see him pick Jiu-Jitsu back up and make it a part of his life again.

💪 Keeping the Coaches on Their Toes
We have to be honest—Saul didn't miss a beat. He’s already back to giving the coaches a hard time on the mat! That competitive spirit and skill are still there, and we love the energy he brings to every roll.

Welcome back, Saul, and congrats on that stripe! We can’t wait to see how your BJJ journey continues to evolve.
