About This School
Our School
Our martial arts training is centered around pushing students to be the best they can be. Through positive, realistic instruction, students are given a true learning experience. We hold students accountable on and off the mats so they can reach – and then exceed – their goals. This is achieved through a supportive environment and high-level martial arts education. This curriculum follows our lineage with Gracie Jiu Jitsu. We provide students with a non-cookie-cutter style that is continuously evolving. It can be used for individual-based training or focused on team activities. We bring everything together to form a family atmosphere where you can learn the best BJJ, Judo, and MMA!
History
Gracie Humaita Quincy, IL began when Professor Scott Altgilbers came back from two tours overseas in the U.S. Army. He was an Army Combatives instructor in the military teaching martial arts to his fellow members. From there, he knew he wanted to continue teaching the rest of his life. This led him to opening our Quincy location in a basement in 2016. Since then, it’s grown to a 3,200 square-foot facility, adding more mat space for students. We continued our Quincy teachings and are dedicated to helping everyone in each community push through adversity to be their best self!
