About Us:
Steve Kardian (Retired Mount Pleasant Police Officer and NYC Special Investigator) and Tony Gioffre (Attorney who brought the Gracie Family jiu-jitsu to the East Coast) began Gracie Thornwood back in 1994. The school was created primarily to learn and train Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, and Mixed Martial Arts with Royce Gracie and his family. 
Next, Gracie Thornwood sought after Shooto world Champion and UFC coach Erik Paulson to expand its overall Mixed Martial Arts and Self Defense Skills. As time progressed, the Westchester County New York based school became world renown for having the best Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts training in New York State outside of NYC. If you live in Briarcliff Manor, Pleasantville, Hawthorne, Mount Pleasant, Thornwood, Valhalla, Chappaqua. Mount Kisco, Bronxville, Yorktown, or anywhere in Westchester New York... you owe it to yourself to check out our world renown training center.
