In addition to yoga and female self defense classes, they're the only certified Gracie Jui Jitsu gym around; there are even photos of the owners/instructors with Grand Master Rorion taken in the gym. They run unlimited membership trial specials ranging from 10-14 days at no cost, including a uniform! Our son has been enrolled in "Gracie Bulleyproof" since Oct 2017 and he loves it; though he's small for his age, we like that Gracie has structured rules of engagement, first focusing on avoiding altercations then preparing him how to diffuse situations and defend himself as a last resort. The non-striking aspect was key, especially since he's likely to "practice" on his younger boy-so-littler brother. All of his instructors really care about the kids and take time to teach/demonstrate on their levels of understanding and experience. Our son's favorite is Bernardo, who just happens to be from Brazil! The gym does a great job of making you feel like a member of a family while also valuing you as a paying customer. Going out of town for a long period of time? They've allowed us to freeze our membership without ridicule! It's a worthwhile investment and experience that I personally wish I would have undertaken sooner.
