Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Appleton

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Appleton operates a martial arts and self-defense center at 956 W Northland Ave in Appleton, Wisconsin. Operating as a certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu training center, the academy delivers structured grappling programs continuing the martial arts legacy of Grandmaster Hélio Gracie. Instruction is directed by black belt instructor Kent Maichle. Ground coaching is supported by brown belts Gary Berg and Grant Lange alongside purple belt Jack Lucas. Coaches guide students through standardized technical curriculums designed to enable practitioners to defend against larger opponents using leverage and technique rather than size or power. Programs include Gracie Combatives for adult beginners focusing on 36 core street-defense techniques, advanced Master Cycle grappling, Gracie Bullyproof with verbal self-defense for children, and classes for teens ages 12 to 16. New students can evaluate the academy through a 10-day trial.
