I definitely recommend stopping in and signing up, it was something I’ve been wanting to do for the longest time and been here since October, professor Enrique and Professor Albert and all the other instructors definitely thought me a lot, broke everything down step by step, it definitely means a lot to me, and I tell everyone I know, they seen my progress, if you’re looking to compete or just roll around this is the place to be 10 out of 10

As a middle age man , I didn’t think I would be able to keep up with the fundamentals, but the professors and coaches create a welcoming , positive, and stress-free environment to support all ages. Through my experience, I have obtained knowledge towards improving my health and wellbeing by exceeding my own physical endurance capabilities. I am enjoying my new journey of Jujitsu

I’m very disappointed with the way we were treated at this jiu-jitsu school. While waiting for my son’s class to finish, the owner rudely told us that "this is not a playground" and that we needed to either put our younger kids in the car or take them outside. As paying customers, we expected a more respectful and understanding approach — especially considering how much we spend for our children to be part of this program. Young siblings naturally accompany parents to drop-offs and pickups. Instead of creating a welcoming environment for families, the owner made us feel unwelcome and disrespected. We came here for discipline and growth — not to be treated as a nuisance. I would not recommend this school to other parents who value a family-friendly atmosphere and respectful communication.

By far the best decision we have ever made for our son. From exercises, to learning how to be safe, and respectful. The professor and coaches are all so amazing, super Hands-on, and very eager to teach. They all have such amazing and positive attitudes every class. They even help when my son has shown listening or attitude problems at home. We always know we can turn to them like family. I have watched my son grow in so many ways in such a short amount of time thanks to Gracie Barra.
