We love Gracie Durham. Mr. Sunny and the other instructors have really brought my 8 year old daughter out of her shell and given her so much confidence. Highly recommend!
Our whole family trains self defense jiu-jitsu here! We love ALL of the instructors and trust them with our kids. The classes are always centered around kindness, respect, and helping others. All skill levels are welcomed!
Awesome instructors, quality program. Sunny does a great job with the kids, all the way up to advanced practitioners. Definitely would recommend.
We love having our 7 year old attend classes here. Sunny and all of the other instructors are great! Fitness and a workout for the mind. Highly recommend. UPDATE: we took our child out of here as quickly as possible when they change their whole business model to cater to police officers, and it seems proud boy members with don’t tread on me tattoos on their hands. Meat heads and cops talk your ear off while waiting to take their kids home. Not a safe space for women, children or anyone in the LGBTQ community.
After attending the school for about two months now i could not be happier with the instructors and the curriculum! They are all very knowledgeable kind and caring, moving at a pace that all can enjoy and learn from! Gracie Jiu-jitsu Durham!! Highly recommend!!
