They keep the instructional lessons relevant for each skill level, and the kids start learning as soon as they try their first class. Our boys are confident, strong, and are excellent listeners and we attribute much of that to the education they've received at Gracie Barra. Keep at it guys!

The location is super cool, the people (kids and adults) are so nice and really work as a team, and the head professor, Professor Alex, is amazing at what he does. He engages with everyone, praises the students when they nail a technique and is always on top of his classes, making sure everyone is on the same page and understands what they need to do. My daughter has been in martial arts since she was 3 (she's going to be 9 this year), and it was extremely important to me to find an instructor who knew how to really handle a kids class. I've seen coaches in other gyms just ramble off techniques and not really pay attention to if the kids are grasping it. I'm happy to see that Professor Alex is on top of it. He makes sure the kids are doing techniques CORRECTLY and confidently. Her confidence has skyrocketed and she's made friends with all the kids in her class. The adults class is also spectacular. Everyone is so kind and willing to help. If you don't understand something, Professor Alex will demonstrate it and work with you until you do. The energy is so positive and upbeat in this gym. !!TEACH YOUR KIDS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES!! I'm so glad we found this place!!
