Building Community and Family Through Martial Arts Excellence
From first-time kids to seasoned adults, our academy brings families together around the values of respect, discipline and growth. Each student trains in age-appropriate classes, with patient coaching that helps them build confidence on and off the mats.
FAMILY AT OUR CORE
COMMUNITY FAMILY MARTIAL ARTS EXCELLENCE HERE
At Wellington Jiu Jitsu, we believe in the power of family training together. Our academy is a local, family-run business where Eric and his wife Krystal, along with their children Cole, Alex, and Nora, all train and work side-by-side. We are committed to fostering a warm, supportive community where you feel at home the moment you walk through our doors. Whether you are a parent looking for your child or an adult beginner, we welcome you to our mats.
To provide the best experience for everyone, we offer specialized, separate classes for children and adults. This ensures that while the whole family shares the journey of martial arts excellence, each member receives age-appropriate instruction in a safe and reassuring environment. For adult beginners and parents alike, our goal is to build confidence and skill through Brazilain Jiu-Jiutsu. Join the Monahan family and start your martial arts journey with us today.

Gracie Elite Jiu-Jitsu is amazing! Our daughter has been training for about 2 years now. Her confidence has boosted, her focus has increased, and she flat out loves it! We love that it’s family owned and operated and feels like we’re all part of one big family. We could not be happier here and will be signing our son up the second he’s old enough.
-Amanda Macholl
As a disabled veteran, I was initially skeptical about whether I could train in Jiu Jitsu. Professor Eric and his team went above and beyond to adapt the training to my needs, making it possible for me to not only participate, but truly benefit. The gym is exceptionally clean, the members are welcoming and supportive, and the entire academy feels like a family. I couldn’t be more grateful or pleased with my experience.

This is a great place for kids. My son has been attending for almost 6 months. I see a complete change in his demeanor. Eric does a fantastic job. I've studied jiu-jitsu before and this is the perfect place to come and learn. Now every time my back is turned my son is trying to sneak up behind me & put me in some submission.. lol My wife and I are extremely happy in our sons progress. - Thank you Eric and everyone at Gracie Elite Jiu-Jitsu Wellington!!!

I couldn’t be any happier with Coach Eric and Coach Cole. My husband and son both come here to train and they truly enjoy it. They have both entered in competitions and have taken home some medals with the help of their amazing coaches being by their side. I definitely recommend this amazing school!
