In 2020,

   the dream of 2 families became a reality when Matt and Ashley Pitts along with Dustin and Brittney Hebert became the owner-operators of Gracie United Walker. The team swiftly devised a detailed plan that focuses on skilled, family orientated training for all ages and body types. With this concept, Gracie United Walker quickly became the fastest growing martial arts facility in Walker. Co-owners Ashley and Brittney focus on providing a healthy environment for the woman and kids of the sport, while Professor Matt and Professor Dustin utilize their 13+ years of experience to provide superior hands-on instructions in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. With Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) being the most effective martial art on the planet, students will learn how to use leverage and weight distribution to take the fight to the ground; and use a number of holds or submissions to defeat the opponent.
