How Our Private & Small Group Training Compares to the Rest
When you’re serious about learning real skills, getting real results, and training in a place where people actually know your name—6 Levels Apopka is the clear choice. Compare our Private & Small Group Lessons with what you’ll typically find at big-box gyms or casual rec programs, and it’s easy to see why students of all ages stick with us.
Generic gyms and rec leagues often follow a cookie-cutter format that doesn’t adjust to your pace or learning style.
Rotating staff or underqualified instructors mean spotty guidance and little personal connection.
It’s easy to get stuck in a routine without direction or feedback that pushes you forward.
Most adult leagues and gyms offer limited time slots or crowded group classes.
No supervision, poor technique, and rushed warm-ups can all lead to setbacks.
Every session is built around your skill level, goals, and progress—whether you’re new to the mat or prepping to compete.
You’ll work with coaches who know your name, your goals, and exactly how to help you get better, safely.
Each lesson is designed to build on the last. We help you track growth, stay motivated, and level up—physically and mentally.
Private and small group training is scheduled around your life—so you can stay consistent without burning out.
We coach with purpose, prioritize safety, and adapt to your body’s needs—especially important for beginners or those with past injuries.

Your Goals. Your Pace. Your Progress.
No two people walk into our academy with the same background, goals, or schedule—and we like it that way. At 6 Levels Apopka Jiu-Jitsu & MMA, our Private & Small Group Lessons are built around you from the ground up. Whether you want to sharpen your Jiu-Jitsu, boost conditioning, build functional strength, or just feel more confident in your body, we take the time to understand where you’re starting and where you want to go.
Each session is structured with intention—not just to get you moving, but to make sure you’re moving in the direction that matters most to you. We keep things challenging, but doable. Structured, but flexible. And because it’s just you (or you and a small group), your coach can tweak the plan in real-time based on how you’re feeling, how you’re moving, or how life is showing up that day.
This isn’t copy-paste coaching. It’s personal. It works. And it keeps you committed, progressing, and proud of the work you’re putting in—every single session.
Perform Better. Compete Harder. Win Smarter.
At 6 Levels Apopka Jiu-Jitsu & MMA, our Private & Small Group Lessons go far beyond general fitness. If you’re training for an event, competition, or sport-specific goal, we bring the same level of detail, intensity, and preparation you’d expect from a professional fight camp or high-level athletic program.
Our coaches know what it takes to compete—and win—because they’ve done it themselves. We’ll build a custom plan around your sport, your timeline, and your performance goals. From technical drills and strength conditioning to sport-specific strategy, nutrition guidance, and recovery work—we cover everything you need to peak at the right time.
Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for a Jiu-Jitsu tournament, preparing for a Spartan race, or just want to move and think like an athlete again, we’ll help you train with purpose. This isn’t just “showing up and working out.” This is training with the mindset and tools of someone who wants more out of themselves—and is ready to put in the work to get it.

Builds self confidence! Best thing since the Marines. My son, nephew, niece all go with me.
Great facility with great staff!! Very welcoming environment for those of all ages to learn the art of Gracie Jiu Jitsu! Highly recommended!!
Best Gracie jiu-jitsu gym around.
All of the coaches are able to teach each child in a way they can understand what is being taught. Respect and confidence is taught as well with a strong focus on working hard to see the benefits.
Awesome facility and coaches
Everyone's treated like family. Kids have a blast and learn so much. So beneficial for self-confidence. My son loves it and can't wait to go throw some overhand lefts every Saturday. Highly recommend .
The Six Levels Team instructors are very knowledgeable and do an amazing job with working with their students one on one. My son enjoys going to the classes and is excited about the techniques that he is learning.
Our son has been doing the Mighty Mites class for a few weeks now and we are so happy with it! All of the coaches are incredible, and we love that we get the foundation of jiu-jitsu for him. Definitely check them out!
My kids have been attending since Oct 2023 and we LOVE it. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging and positive. The price is affordable and the options to attend (5 days a week) is perfect for our family. Love the easy going but professional and hard working personalities of Rodney, Michelle and Coaches. Absolutely loving it. Can't recommend enough. Looking forward to Summer Camp! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed 🙂
Great instructors, great people, been overall an awesome experience.
Update: been going here since March 2021 and it is October 2023. My opinion I shared has only improved. This place is like a family.
All the coaches here are amazing. The ones that really helped me on my Jiu Jitsu journey were Arnie and Rodney. They took the time to make sure I understood every move and corrected me when I needed correcting. They improved my game so much. I would continue to train here if it weren't so far away from where I live.
Dance or gymnastics not cutting it? Put your kid in Jiu-Jitsu... More specifically, 6 Levels/Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. If you're anywhere near Apopka, go try it out. The coaches are top notch and will get your kid focused and involved. Remember, you're not raising "kids"... you're training new humans to be adults. The principles of Jiu-Jitsu are a useful skill that will be second nature to a person if introduced early. Hard work pays off. 😉
At the start of this summer my 7 yo was ready to test the martial arts water. We visited ALL martial arts establishments in Apopka and decided this was the best spot; based on cleanliness, layout of facilities, location, and accessibility of classes and the ease of working with Coach Rodney. These were my 7 yo assessments. When he took the free week of trial I was coerced to join him. Then we met and were amazed at the amount of senior belt practitioners assisting with classes. Kids are individually coached for safety. I can’t say enough how this single element of many coaches per classes has put my mind at ease, with regards to, safety for my young son. My journey, has embraced all of the patient and helpful members of this gym in taking time out of their training to teach me the martial ways. I’m much older and learn at a slower pace. Everyone helps along the way. I’m sure there are other gyms that foster a thriving environment. But for now we are pleased with our selection and hope to continue our journey here. Thanks for creating a learning and nurturing environment for older, middle, and younger generations to practice safely.
Been training exactly 1 week at The Six Levels and I am “hooked” on Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Everyone there immediately welcomes you into the fold as part of the tribe. I am amazed at how every student training there is willing to teach and impart their Jiu Jitsu experience to help beginners out. Truly a perfect atmosphere for learning. This atmosphere is created due to the fact that there are zero egos. Everyone is a student of the art and wants to learn and improve themselves at the same time helping to improve their training partners skill sets. Coach Rodney and Andy are extremely skilled, very technical, and down to earth. I know I am in good hands. The training facility is brand new and extremely well maintained. Very happy to have found this place and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning this incredible martial art.
it is a great place to learn self defense and learn from a great teacher. the whole family can enjoy.
My 8yr old son started about 2 months ago. He was not very outgoing. They first day we visited this gym he already had me ordering his Gi. He loves it.
All of the instructors are very friendly and well versed in the sport.
They go beyond the technique and teach values, bullying and what had work does.
The kids class is so much fun to watch.
My boy has made lots of friends there that carry over to personal life outside the gym.
Rodney and his wife have something special there.
Your son/daughter need a hobby?
Stop or call here today!
Great learning environment with no pressure and no egos.
Fantastic facility that is kept immaculately clean. Good training partners at all levels. The coaches are what make this place amazing! There is zero ego from any of the coaches and they all want to help as much as they can. Rodney is great with adults, but absolutely next level with the children! Incredibly thankful to have my 3 kids there learning and training with Michelle and Rodney. Fortunate to have the opportunity for my wife and I to also learn and train here.
Best place in town for kids to learn discipline, team work, and self confidence.
