I've never met a more competent and yet relaxed and fun team - and head instructor Justin Hall is fantastic. I really can't recommend him highly enough. BJJ, or any martial art, can be intimidating to start. Something a lot of us want to do, or dream about, but we're hesitant, maybe afraid to go in - remembering Cobra Kai from our youth in the Karate Kid. Well it's not like that at all. They're warm, welcoming, and fun. Justin exudes a confidence only born of competence, you see it in people who are great at what they do, whatever it is. Justin is the consummate teacher - patient, yet exacting. He knows his stuff, and he's not in this just for minting belts and making money. He in fact will limit the size of his school ultimately - so I'd get in now. There is no better place in NM. There may be other great facilities, but I can guarantee you that you will be happy you went here.

We have been members for nearly two weeks now, and my kiddo really likes it so far. I appreciate the professors' and coaches' combination of fun with lessons with younger kids while also emphasizing the importance of discipline and listening. Being a member here is a little pricey, but my son is enjoying his classes. I also appreciate that he can be himself here (he wanted to get a pink uniform) and that he is not made fun of by the other kids.

The environment Professor Gustavo has built here is one with no ego and complete humility. Highly technical instruction combined with physical fitness and grit. My son has also started training here and after only a few months we have already seen an improvement in his grades, behavior, and most importantly his self confidence. Professor Gus combines discipline with games to make the learning and physical fitness fun for the kids and they don't even realize they are working out. This is my 5th BJJ school and by far one of the best I've ever been a part of. They truly are not all the same. Thank you for providing such a great environment for our family, it most definitely feels like a home away from home. They also offer discounts to military, APS, firefighters, police, and family packages. It's free to try, come on in and see if you like it.

After wondering about the program and being unsure of what it could do for my children, I can…read moreproudly say that I have been bringing my kids here for about a year now. The program is not only good for their physical health, but their mental health. After the pandemic came and my kids were stuck at home all the time, they really suffered from not seeing friends and family. Involving them in Gracie Barra has been life-changing for them. They are learning not just about self defense, but about taking pride in yourself, how to treat others and yourself with respect, time management, and so many other small life lessons I see them absorbing every day on the mat. The professors truly care about the children and the kind of people they turn into. I would very highly recommend this school to anybody - adult or child - that wants to learn something about themselves.

I cannot praise this Gracie dojo enough...carry on!
