It's definitely a give-and-take because there is nothing "soft" about learning skill sets and creating a healthy atmosphere for yourself and those around you, but the respect from teacher to student and student to teacher is definitely what we need more of in this world.

I'm very disappointed with the way we were treated at this Gracie Barra jiu-jitsu school. While…read morewaiting 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.

This place is the most affordable in town and I see people improve in 2-3 months. That's typical turn around as most places. Lots of classes. Wish there was more light, technical sparring for Muay Thai but what you for what you pay for is great. The instructors are good and have great attitudes, a few of them former fighters. Gabe is great when it comes to representing the gym. Amazing attitude, friendly, kind and not pushy.

Both instructors were female and fantastic, high energy, clear, and actually made it fun even if your form is... evolving. Evening classes were packed, which says a lot, and the space is way bigger than it looks from the outside with a ring, cage, turf, and even a shower. It leans a little family friendly with lots of kid classes, which adds to the buzz. Only knocks are the slightly salesy moments, my friend was told she needed to buy wraps with no clear heads up or pricing, and we got two different answers on drop in fees, which felt a bit inconsistent. They did make it right and took care of us, so no hard feelings. Overall, solid workout, great instructors, east side gem, and I'd come back.

I have long admired the art that is capoeira, but never had a chance to try it. I was searching…read moreunder Yelp's "black-owned businesses in Tucson" and came across this gem. I arrived a little ahead of time and got to meet the owner and some of the students. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. Class started on time. I especially liked how all of the students started together at the beginning then they split up the class so the experienced students could practice and the newbies could get more personalized instruction. This was extremely helpful as it taught us some of the basic moves and phrases of capoeira. The instructors gave helpful criticism and pushed you with an encouraging use of repetition. The dojo is bright and spacious. As a dancer and a woman of African heritage, I LOVED all of the singing and music (dem drums tho!!). It took everything in me not to break out dancing. The energy was awesome. The souls were full of life. There were no pretentious airs, like you might encounter at "other" owned martial arts studios. In fact, the owner encouraged students to provide any and all feedback, good or bad. There are classes for kids, teens, and adults. The adult class is at 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Do check out their website as it houses a plethora of helpful information. The first class is free so there really is no excuse. If I lived in Tucson I would already be a member. Sign up today!
